Cheap and Easy Designer Curtain Rod Materials:

DIY Designer Curtain Rod Project Step 1: To make the cheap and easy curtain rods for your home you will first need to take a trip to the local home improvement store such as Home Depot or Lowe's. Lowe's typically sells 1 inch wooden dowels that are perfect for use as designer curtain rods in the home and they cost about $5 for a 10 foot dowel. Chances are you do not have a need for a 10 foot dowel unless you are making a designer curtain rod for a sliding glass door. Even in this case the rod length is typically only 8 feet or less. In addition to the wooden dowels that are for sale at these stores, there are also wooden style finials in all types of styles and designs available at these stores. The finials are typically $6 or less each so the entire curtain rod will cost less than $20 to make.
DIY Designer Curtain Rod Project Step 2: Begin by picking out the finials and the wooden dowel rod length that you need for your window treatment. Make sure that you purchase a rod that is about 4 inches longer than the width of the window that you are making the designer curtain rod for. If you have access to a skill saw or a hack saw then you can always buy a wooden dowel that is longer than necessary and cut it making more than one rod out of one dowel.
