- There are several websites that sell ready-made Tinkerbell window treatments. Along with these treatments you can also purchase bedding, or wall décor. The nice thing about buying a set of pre-made curtains is that you will save time and possibly have bedding or other items that use the same Tinkerbell theme to make over your little girl's room. MyKidsBedding.com offers Tinkerbell curtains, pillows, and bedding.
- If you are considering making your own curtains, Disney Fabric.com sells a variety of different fabrics with Tinkerbell designs. Measure your window's length and width. Using your measurements, decide how much fabric you will need to cover your window. Order enough fabric to drape loosely across your window and drape down to the floor or past the window sill. Window curtains can be constructed by dividing the fabric evenly into panels, or if you have a small window, one panel of fabric draped across the window may be all you need. Sew a rod pocket at the top of your panel. Each edge of your panel should be left open so a curtain rod can be inserted for hanging.
- If you can't find the fabric you are looking for, consider looking for bed sheets or tablecloths in your Tinkerbell theme. Although you may not think of these as possible options for window coverings, if they contain the design and theme you are looking for, they will work. If the material seems too thin to block as much sun as you need it to, back it with another fabric to ensure the right amount of sun is blocked. With your window measurements in hand, purchase a big enough sheet or tablecloth to cover your window. If you don't have a sewing machine to sew your rod pocket, use safety pins every few inches to secure your fabric pocket, or use window hooks that attach to your curtain rod and clamp directly to your fabric.
- Shower curtains may be another option to make over your window treatment. Shower curtains include built-in loops for hanging. By using curtain hooks, you can secure your shower curtain to your curtain rod. Another great benefit of using shower curtains is that the fabric is durable because it's typically exposed to water. The fabric can be cleaned easily, and may be more durable than traditional fabric.
