Happy Hump Day Friends!
I've been working on giving my son's playset a little face lift and if you missed our planter box from last week you can read about it here. Part two is a DIY curtain that we made out of a drop cloth and painted to match the planter box.
I grabbed this small drop cloth from The Home Depot and we just measured the size we needed and cut.
This is so easy I feel almost silly giving instructions :) We taped off the size of the stripes we wanted with Frog Tape and painted them with the same paint that we used on the planter box, alternating the colors.
Then I crawled into the playset and measured where the curtain rods would go. I used a super cheap tension rod and some curtain clips that I had leftover from another project.
Just like the planter box, I wasn't worried about it being perfect so we didn't even finish the edges. We just folded them over and clipped.
Looks like someone digs his new digs :)
We added some pea gravel to the bottom instead of sand because he doesn't use the sandbox much and I think it's prettier!
This was the last project in the back yard for now but I still owe you a post about our garden which is doing great.
And The Home Depot Outdoor Games Style Challenge posts will start going live in about two weeks so stay tuned! I can't wait to see what everyone came up with!
Have a great week y'all!

What a cute idea, Summer! That playset looks very similar to the one we had, and have long outgrown...makes me sad!

Thanks so much Jennifer! I know, it makes me sad how fast they grow! That is why I couldn't get rid of it when I was working on the Hope Depot challenge!

My mom said that I should use the paint drop cloth for our front porch drapes. What do you think?

Thanks Rachel! I think a big fat YES! I'm actually going to do the same thing. I'm not sure the best method yet because the paint does make them a little still so I may do a stencil or something or use spray paint instead.
