How to Paint Painted Curtains

December 9, 2022

Using painted curtains can be a great way to add a touch of whimsy and playfulness to a room. A curtain panel can be painted by hand or by using a stencil. Painting fabric can be messy and require a lot of patience, but it's a quick and easy way to create a custom item. Here are a few tips to help you achieve a successful project.

The first step is to measure the width of the curtain panel. It's best to use a flat surface to lay the curtain panel on. This will help keep the painters tape straight and prevent the paint from seeping under the tape.

After you have measured the width, you can start to mark the stripes on the panel. Then lay the curtain panel over a drop cloth and make sure the curtain is level. If you need to adjust the width, just do so.

Next, you'll need to spray the curtain with water to prepare it for painting. It will help the paint to glide easily on the fabric. It's also important to leave a little space between the edges of the fabric. You can either brush or swirl the paint around the edge of the stripe.

Then, use a sponge roller to apply the design. Once the panel is dry, you can peel off the painters tape. If you want to paint a second coat, you can do so.

Choosing the right color for a curtain can be tricky. You can get a variety of colors from paint stores. There are many acrylic paints available that cost very little.
