Want to add that special personal touch to your bathroom? You know that "pizzaz" that makes everyone got "wow." Anyone can do this simply by adding custom shower curtains. By using bathroom accessories like this, you can show off your personal decorating style. When you really think about it, there are many different ways to customize the curtain for your shower. You can personalize it by simply choosing a special pattern or color. You could make it even more unique, by adding eco-friendly curtain accents, sewing it from special fabric pieces, or even by using alternative materials to fabricate it. It's all about fulfilling your own personal decorating style. The Personal Photo or Design Did you know you can add your own photo or personal drawing to a curtain? There are some websites that allow you to make a custom website from drawings, photos and more. All you have to do is upload the picture to the website and choose the fabric or curtain style you want the shower curtain made of. Pay for your customized option and wait for it to arrive in a few days. The Eco Friendly Shower Curtain Make or accent your own with recycled items.For instance, you can customize an existing one by adding decorative can tabs to the top or bottom area of the curtain; this adds a cool silvery and shimmery effect. Another idea is to make a candy wrapper curtain. Fold gum or candy wrappers into rectangular strips and weave them into a curtain then hanging it over a plastic or vinyl liner curtain. Sewn Customization If you know how to sew, consider making an interesting patchwork shower curtain. The process works much like quilting a bedspread, but instead of a bed-sized panel, you want to make a 72 inch x 72 inch panel (the standard size of a shower curtain.) If quilting isn't your style, consider sewing to 72 inch x 72 inch panels together back to back. Choose one-color theme or pattern for the front and preferably a solid color for the back. Add grommets or button holes to the top of the curtain to add even more visual interest to the curtain. Hang this over a plastic curtain liner. Alternative Materials Sometimes using unusual materials for a curtain can give you that special alternative look you want. You could, for instance, make the shower curtain out of duct tape. Start by cutting and forming 74-inch long strips that are 2-inches wide. Stick two strips together back to back to cover all the sticky sides. Folding the edges over onto the other side to create the hemmed look. Once you have lots of same-sized strips just weave them together as you would a basket. Make the horizontal strips go over and under the vertical ones. This creates a really modern looking customized option. Alternatives Make custom shower curtains from other unconventional materials. Get creative and think of interesting materials. These materials could include canvas, parachute material,silk or just about anything you can think of that can be made into a 72 x 72 inch panel. Remember to make it into a curtain for your shower, all you have to do is add grommets to the top. Bottom Line Many different options exist when it comes to customizing the curtain that contains your shower area. Its all a matter of being creative, adding accessories or using materials you hadn't thought of as appropriate material. You can make your own, choose to purchase one from an online artist or crafter, or simply draw out the design and have it custom printed. This is a very simple and fun process. You may have so much fun creating your first curtain that you might want to make more than one. You might even make the project a family fun day project by having everyone participate in the customization process. Your shower curtain design is only confined by the amount of creativity you use.
