DIY: Easy Window Treatments & Curtain Rod Ideas

Window treatments are an inexpensive way to decorate a kids room and make a big impact.  Make your own window shades with easy instructions.

Use a branch as a curtain rod for an adorable and free curtain rod.
 Cut a doorknob set in half, and push each knob into a plastic plug of a curtain rod you've wrapped with ribbon. (You may need to carefully enlarge the plug openings with a drill.
