DIY Marbled Watercolor Curtains Tutorial

These watercolor curtains were inspired by a Jonathan Adler box I had purchased at JCPenney a while back.

I wanted to nail down the same type of marbled watercolor pattern and I believe I accomplished that.

– paint samples – black fabric paint pens – fabric medium – prewashed and ironed Ikea Merete curtains – iron – large bowls – various different sized brushes – tarp and painter’s tape optional

Materials and Tools needed:

You need the same amount of large bowls as you have paint color samples.

1

I used a little bit of paint and an equal amount of fabric medium and then watered everything down immensely.

2

This is where you get to play around with the different sized brushes to create different thicknesses of veins for the marbled effect.

3

I noticed that I needed to add some more paint to the dark pink watered down color to have a more saturated color for that specific vein to replicate the look of the box.

4

After I painted all the different colors in, I went over it with a black fabric pen and a tiny bit of red here and there but the red detail is definitely not needed.

5

In the end, I heat set the marbled watercolor pattern with my iron.
