How to Drape Fabric Over a Window

Draping fabric over a window in your home can add a soft, romantic touch and create a Moroccan-type vibe. Finding a way to drape the fabric over the window in an attractive manner can prove to be difficult, as pinning the fabric can look too harsh and doesn't work well. To create a finished product that allows the fabric to drape over the window gracefully, you can use a standard curtain rod to get the job done.

Fabric of choice

Instructions

- 1
  Hold a curtain bracket about 2 inches away from the top corners of the preferred window, standing on a step stool if necessary.
- 2
  Mark the wall through the curtain bracket openings using a pencil.
- 3
  Drill the curtain brackets to the wall, directly over the marks.
- 4
  Rest a curtain rod on the bracket hooks.
- 5
  Drape your fabric of choice over the curtain rod in a way that matches your preferred style. The more fabric you have, the more elaborate a design you can create by looping the fabric over the curtain rod with as much or as little slack as you wish. While you can use any cut of fabric, rectangular cuts work very well for this sort of decor.
