kinda like a bead curtain but better
This is a super easy and cheap way to make some really cool looking curtains. They add a great arty/colorful look to most rooms and are similar to those bead curtains that you see for sale. To finish this it will take anywhere from 5 hours to a week (depending on how fast you work). This should cost somewhere between $20.00-$40.00.

Step 1
Cut about 40-50 pieces of yarn into 5/6 foot pieces (or however long the doorway is)
Step 2
Tie a knot at one end of the yarn
Step 3
Thread the yarn onto the needle
Step 4
thread pom-poms onto the yarn, leaving a 2-3 inch space in between pom-poms (you do not need to knot the yarn between poms, they will stay in place on their own)
Step 5
Repeat until you reach the end of the yarn leaving a 5-6 inches on the end
Step 6
Repeat step 5 until you run out of pieces of yarn
Step 7
Cut or make the dowel/curtain rod the length of the closet, and place in between the two walls of the closet doorway (the tension should hold the rod in place)
Step 8
Tie the top piece of the yarn (the part with the extra 5-6 inches left) around the rod.
Step 9
Repeat step 8 until you run out of yarn with the pom-poms on it.
Step 10
Depending on how wide you doorway is you might need to thread more poms otherwise your done!

did you use store-bought pom poms or make your own?
just asking because the two are quite different.
