Pinterest "Tried-It": Under-Bed Curtain

"The 5-Minute, No-Sew Bottom Bunk Fort"
 
Here is the original image pinned from ComeTogetherKids.com
 
 
 
 
I changed this slightly and used a sheer curtain panel cut in half (for 2 curtains so you can get in and out through the middle) on a tension shower rod instead. It wasn't a no-sew project though because I wanted the lengths and everything customized. And it was for underneath a loft bed instead of for a lower bunk.
 
 
Gum Drop Window Panel

This is the panel I used for the curtains under Casey's loft bed (she picked out the panel herself): Gum Drop Window Panels and Valance: "This rich, bejeweled window treatment in bright pink will add a flamboyant charm to your decor. Panels are sold individually and each measures 56" W. Valance is sold separately and measures 56" W x 18" L. 100% polyester. Machine wash. Imported." $25 from Bed Bath & Beyond. This panel works well because it's slightly sheer, so it provides some privacy and you can "hide" clutter under the bed, but light still gets through.

I might add a picture of the final project later. I used an inexpensive white pressure-mount shower curtain rod form Bed Bath and Beyond to hang up the two panels (made from the one longer panel) under the bed. Having 2 panels instead of 1 allows for an opening to get in and out through the curtains without having to duck underneath each time.
