Add a Pop of Color

When it comes to making a statement in a neutral space, a little color goes a long way. For a project that’s as impactful as it is easy, look no further than your local fabric store for pom-pom trim in a bright, cheery hue; then use it to bring a classic white shower curtain to life. Guests will marvel at the whimsical detail, and best of all, you’ll get to tell them you did it yourself.

What You'll Need: Pom-Pom Trim Shower Curtain

For this project, you’ll need a white fabric shower curtain (72” wide is the standard), 4 yards of pom-pom trim, straight pins, a sewing machine and scissors. Lay the shower curtain flat on the ground or a large work surface, and position the pom-pom trim along the bottom edge and along the top edge under the rings. Use straight pins to secure the trim in place.

Sew Away!
