Curtains. The thrifty way.

So these past several days I have been working on making our house "cozy".  You know like, putting pictures on the walls, putting curtains up.  
During all this I found a new way to make your window like inviting and an eye catcher.
While at the Wally I found out that curtain rods are ridiculously expensive.  Up to $40 I saw.  Oh and window scarves. FOURTEEN dollars.  AND THIS IS WALMART.  So instead of getting a 40 dollar rod.  I got the ugly white rod that is like 2 bucks, then went to the craft section and found a bolt of fabric for 3 dollars. So in total for one window I spent 13 for the curtains, 2 for the rod, and 3 for the scarf.  Now if you really want to get thrifty you can make your curtains out of sheets, and then find your rods at garage sales.  And the finishing product....
 I like the finished product a lot.  I hope this helps you as well.
