One way to make a bathroom look more luxe is to get an extra long shower curtain that goes all the way to the floor. It was one of those things I never even thought about, but it made total sense!
So for this DIY, I added macrame trim to a simple/boring shower curtain. The finished result is a custom shower curtain that you can’t buy in any store!
Here’s how it’s done …Supplies:
–white shower curtain
–macrame lace
-fabric scissors
–fabric glue or sewing machine
Cut a macrame lace strip to be just as wide as the bottom of the curtain. Pin your lace in the location you want it along the bottom of the curtain. Use a ruler as you go to make sure the top of the lace is even with the bottom of the curtain.
Using a ruler again, add and pin your next line of lace and repeat with each layer you want to add.
Use fabric glue along the top edge of each piece of lace to secure, or sew along the top line with a sewing machine.
Add some Fray Check to the ends of all your cut macrame pieces so they don’t unravel.
Hang up your curtain to see your finished product!
I loved how this curtain looked in my guest bathroom.

Deja vu…this feels like it was a previous craft from a prior home? Is this an updated post?
Yes! Often times, we update older content to share with our readers. We have so much in our archives and like to re-post popular posts.
I love it! We recently got our tile done by our carpet cleaners in Thornton and this would be amazing to add to our bathroom! Thank you for this wonderful DIY idea!
I am wondering where you got the macrame and the curtain? I’d love to duplicate this exact curtain!!! Or if I could pay to have you make and ship this curtain, I’d be ever so grateful. Thanks!
Hi Andrea! The supplies are linked in the post 🙂
Hola, donde puedo conseguir ese macramé? Me encanta
Those doors!!!!! WOW!!! And I am TOTALLY doing this fringe to my main bath!!! BRILL!!!!
Where did you buy the lace? I can’t find anything wide enough.
It’s from Etsy.

They’re usually called duck boards. My parents have one at their house.
It does collect water underneath, so they’re really only good for specific types of floors. My parents’ bathroom has a drain in the middle so any excess goes under there, but it is a pain having to clean up puddles still (maybe have an absorbent mat underneath?).
And the wood can be slippery, so probably not a good idea for young or frail people.
They do look nice, though.
This looks so cool! That bathroom mat is awesome too http://www.hannamarielei.com
For a year I have been in my new house. And have literally purchased half a dozen shower curtains. This is perfect!!!
Too much work!
This is so clever!!!

Love this idea! Its fast and easy and a great way to spruce the bathrooms up before the holidays.
Not being a very crafty person, I have not used fabric glue. Does it hold up to washing?
Gorgeous floor!
How does this hold up in the laundry machine? I would love to try this DIY but am worried that the “tassels” will come out like in a tangled mass after you wash it.
Wow, this one looks so beautiful!!
