Imagine pulling back your curtains in the morning and being greeted by a rainbow edge that feels like confetti frozen midair. That’s the beauty of pom-pom trim curtains.
The playful spheres dance with the breeze, adding whimsy to your space without losing the clean simplicity of plain fabric.
They feel like a celebration stitched into your décor, an everyday reminder that home can be both stylish and delightfully fun.
Materials Needed
- Plain curtains (1-2 panels depending on your window size)
- Pom-pom trim in multiple colors (enough to cover both vertical edges of each curtain)
- Fabric glue or a sewing machine with thread matching the curtain
- Scissors
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Iron (to press seams flat before attaching trim)
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Lay your curtain panels flat on a large surface. Then use the iron to smooth out any wrinkles so the trim will attach evenly.
Step 2: Measure the height of each curtain panel.
You can cut your pom-pom trim slightly longer than the panel edges so you can tuck and secure the ends neatly.
Step 3: If using fabric glue, run a thin line of glue along the curtain edge and press the pom-pom trim into place.
For a sturdier hold, stitch the trim with a sewing machine, keeping your line straight and close to the edge.
Step 4: Repeat the process on the opposite edge of each curtain panel. Then tuck in the top and bottom ends of the trim for a neat finish.
Step 5: Allow the glue to dry completely if you chose the no-sew option.
Finally, hang your curtains and step back to admire how the room feels instantly brighter and more welcoming.
Notes:
You can mix and match trim colors for a patchwork rainbow effect or stick with a single shade for a chic, coordinated look.
If you want a more subtle design, try pastel pom-poms for a soft, dreamy touch.
