Question by Kristie: Making window treatments for the first time. Need help, guidance, ideas, tips or useful links please!?
Hi we just got a new house and I’d like to make my own window treatments. I would be sewing by hand but also have a hot glue gun :). I’ve never made window treatments and could use some simple suggestions, or useful links.

It would depend on what type of window treatments you are making–valances, curtains, shades. If you go to a fabric store for fabric then you may be able to get either a pamphlet or a book with instructions for whatever you want to make.

My partner and I had a custom drapery workroom in Louisiana and we paid our installers well. Anyone can hang a rod, but only professionals do the job right. You should be looking at the $20-40 an hour range.

Q&A: Window Treatments for a sliding glass door?
Question by cmljsd27: Window Treatments for a sliding glass door?
I have a sliding glass door in my dining room that does not get used at all and I was wondering if It would be ok to take down the plain blinds that are there now and decorate it with regular panels and a valance. Or maybe put a valance up now and leave the blinds with it. I am really bad at window treatments! Any advise would be helpful. Thanks!

Answer by keezymama
Yes you can put up normal curtain on your sliding door – plan on having the curtains hang in front of the wall on either side – rather than the glass – this makes your glass look – bigger – but also makes it so if you want to open the door the curtains are not in the way. You might want to consider either a traverse rod so you can close the curtains or still having a blind mounted behind the valance so that you can close of the opening for the purposes of privacy or to darken the room.
