I have done this before, I love it and so does my Daughter. We don't make pleates but we do make them into curtains. We just make a hem in them so the curtain rod will fit and then we make one at the bottom so the ends are straight. This comes in handy.

My tip was to make them look like custom made drapes at a cheap price that can be drawn closed!
Thanks for your feedback. You sure could just hang them by the hem. Use any type valance you like and have some nice FRUGAL drapes!

This sounds great IF a person knew how to make pleats. Can't they just hang by their hem and look nice too usin their pillow cases as valances? I would think so as some of the curtains out now a days are just simply breath taking and would look very nice up on a window.
Thanks for the information

Our sliding glass door has old lace curtains on a spring-loaded rod. I went to Walmart and bought 2 twin size white sheets and a second rod. I hemmed the sheets to fit the door and put them up behind the lace curtains. When the sun is beaming in, we close the sheets to not only block the sun's rays but to reflect them back.
It really keeps the room cooler so our AC doesn't run so much. As you can see in the picture, I was lazy and didn't cut the sheets down before hemming, but no one notices. I don't care as long as it works for us.
