Buy long 1-1/2 to 2-inch thick wooden dowels from your local hardware store. By cutting them to fit your windows, screwing a drawer knob into each end, and staining or painting the dowel, you can save yourself quite a bit of money for other uses.

  • Glad she was there to demonstrate the screwing process! Clearly the most complicated step of the whole project, worthy of being demonstrated.

  • How did you get the screws into the end of the dowel rods. they don't come that way.

  • LOL This was so helpful! What was I thinking? I can now throw out this fancy thick branch I found in my back yard ....(which I also spray painted white).... throw out the few xtra brackets I had around the house from a broken rod I had.... Go out and buy dowel rods and drawer handles ....man and I thought I'd be saving $ by recycling what I had around the house...But if I don't do it my way face it I mine as well buy a whole curtain rod than pay for dowel rods and drawer handles (sarcasm)
