    Great idea putting clips at bottom!! So many ppl don’t address how badly they can float all over. Smart lady

    As a suggestion, end caps can be purchased at the stores in their small parts aisle to finish the ends of the conduits. The painter’s drop cloth is great canvas waiting for a DIY’s imagination. Good project!

    What a great idea to anchor the curtains!! I have seen outdoor curtains blowing in the wind and they can create quite a bit of havoc. I love drop cloths. They can be used as terrific makeshift slipcovers. They can be made in to floorcloths. As you said, you can paint them. You can dye them. They are nearly indestructable and so budget friendly.

    okay so I love this. Because I actually don't have a covered porch. I am actually going to buy the drop cloths. When ever I have parties outside I drape off my uncovered patio with curtains they are black, And they are costly and thin. The painters cloth is perfect. I have rod back drop room dividers that I use to hang the curtains on. But now hmmmm you just put the icing on the cake for me. Thanks so much for sharing.

      When God told me to go for my first home, I was scared. But the more I prayed he lead me to an area where they were BUILDING what I could afford. All I can say is things got tight but He kept me there. I learned how to manage a NEW house. I was always sewing, painting or keeping my yard up. People would always say, your husband sure does keep up the yard - NOT, I was SINGLE! God is able! Hugs and love, Cathryn
