see kayla go.: DIY Tender Falls Anthropologie Shower Curtain.

A couple of days ago, I was browsing Anthropologie.com and came across this beautiful shower curtain that just happened to cost about an arm and a leg. I realized it was something I could re-create, and after that realization, I had to do it. Immediately. I'm super excited about this tutorial! If you can cut a circle, have about as much sewing skill as is required to sew a button, and have a weekend to spare, you can do this project. And I hope you do, because I'm in love with my new gorgeous shower curtain and I know you'll love yours too!

Get Started: What You'll Need

A plain fabric shower curtain

3 yards of heavy weight cotton in a darker color

1 1/2 yards heavy weight cotton in a light color

coordinating thread

heavy-duty needles

a can of some sort to trace with

scissors

Step One: Trace and Cut Circles

I used a baking powder can to trace because it was smaller than my
other cans and I wanted my petals to be small.

Use whatever size can you want. This is totally up to you.

{You will feel like you have cut a million circles, and don't need all the fabric.

Trust me on this: you do. It sucks to have to go back and cut more

when you're in the groove of sewing!}

Step Two: Start Sewing!

First, fold your circle in half.

Then, fold it in half again.

Finally, sew an X in the corner.

Repeat. And Repeat. And Repeat....

At the very top of your curtain, the petals should be

very close together and overlapping.

I did four rows like this, then gradually spaced them out.

It will look something like this:

*I started with the curtain laying on the counter,

then decided it was easier hanging up...even though my
living room looked ridiculous for awhile.

Keep going like this for about 1/3 of the way down.

{I sewed a petal where 1/3 was to give myself a visual goal}

It takes forever. There are so many petals it's ridiculous. You will literally feel like a champ when you

make it 1/3 of the way down and get to start really weaning them out.

like this:

Be sure to keep them random. I love how whimsical it looks when they are just scattered.

Also, to give it an ombre effect, use a lot more taupe than white at the top, and more white at the bottom. My ratio was about 4 taupe for every white at the top, working my way to 3:1, then 2:1; finally, the bottom is only white.
