Before you start your project you will need to measure how large your shower curtian needs to be. Measure from the shower rod to the floor and add six inches for hemming purposes.

• You can take a plastic or vinyl shower curtin and turn it into a masterpiece by painting an image onto it. You can use a packaged vinyl shower curtian or visit a do-it –yourself center. Usually they carry vinyl on a roll. They have different widths and colors available. Have the store personnel to cut your vinyl the length you obtained when you measured your shower curtian. You can hem and paint a picture onto the shower curtin with acrylic paints.

• Designer fabric shower curtians are very expensive. To get your own fabric shower curtins, you can visit a craft or fabric store and find fabric that matches your bathroom décor. Buy enough yardage to sew a shower curtian long enough to fit your shower. Sew the fabric into your new fabric curtian.

• If you already have a plain fabric shower curtin; you can add easy embellishments. Take heavy thread and a needle; then string items you like into strands. Take these strands and attach them to the top hem of your fabric shower curtian. Allow the strands to hang down vertically. You can use beads, shells, geometric shapes, whatever you like.

• Take a vinyl shower curtian and glue foam pieces to it. Take a vinyl shower curtain and craft foam. Cut the foam into shapes. The shapes can be anything you like. Things such as geometric shapes or flowers can be placed in a pattern; giving color and texture to a boring shower curtian.

• A vinyl shower curtin in a color that complements your bathroom décor gets a splash of color with a table runner. Find a table runner you like and turn it into a topper by adding grommets down one side. Your grommets must be large enough for your mildew resistant shower curtain rings to pass through. This is a great way to add just a touch of style to you shower curtian.

• If you use a plastic shower curtian for a canvas, the creative possibilities are endless. You could use markers to draw your favorite cartoon or other art work. You can glue jewel tone accents or foam polka dots onto the shower curtin. Be sure to use non-washable markers. The washable kind will not stay on.
