This simple Vintage Crochet Mallet curtain rod is the perfect addition to a game or vintage themed kid's room or family room. Whether you have any crafting skills or not, you should easily be able to make this simple and affordable Vintage Crochet Mallet curtain rod.

One of the best window treatment tricks I can tell you is to not be tied down by the width of your existing windows. You can give more importance and prominence to any window by simply hanging a curtain rod that is wider than the window. So, don't feel like you have to cut your Vintage Crochet Mallet down to size to make them fit your window. Center them evenly, so that equal parts of the Vintage Crochet Mallet reach out on either is of the window.

To Make a Vintage Crochet Mallet Curtain Rod You Will Need:

2 Vintage Crochet Mallets

Power Drill

½ inch drill bit

2 wood curtain rod brackets or 2 metal curtain rod brackets

Curtain rod (optional)

Tape measure

Black Marker

Double sides screw

Power drill

Ok, so this simple Vintage Crochet Mallet curtain rod can easily be made into a double curtain rod that holds 2 sets of curtains, there will instructions for this as well.

Now, the first step is to determine how wide your Vintage Crochet Mallet curtain rod will be. As said before you can use the Vintage Crochet Mallet or cut off some of the handle to shorten the length.

Now, go ahead and install you wood or metal curtain hardware onto the wall, just like if you were intending to put a regular curtain rod in it.

Now, measure the distance between the two pieces of curtain hardware. Use those measurements to drill a hole in each end of your Vintage Crochet Mallet. This hole should be straight down into the handle mimicking the same direction. Do this on both handles. Now, put the crochet mallets handle end to handle end. Insert the double-sided screw into each end to make one long curtain rod.

The mallet end should be at the far left and far right.

Now, simply lay your Vintage Crochet Mallet curtain rod across the hardware you installed on the wall, just like they are the curtain rod!

Now, you have your wide double curtain rod. To turn this into a single Vintage Crochet Mallet curtain rod you could simple insert a single Vintage Crochet Mallet over a small window!

If you have a really long window that needs a wider curtain rod, then simply cut another handle off of another Vintage Crochet Mallet. Drill into each end and use those double sided screws to build a longer Vintage Crochet Mallet wood pole! You will need a center curtain rod support bracket in the middle of the window so this does not sag!
