(Un)Crafty - Painted Chevron Shower Curtain

Hi Mamas!  I hope Mother's Day was blessed for each of you!  Mine was very lovely - spending time with my sweet family.  I also tackled a small, easy, totally (Un)Crafty project this weekend!

You may remember this little house tour post where I realized how completely boring my bathrooms are.  Blah.

Before

I've since hung some colorful artwork that I wasn't using (framed postcards, to be exact) to help de-boring the space, but I decided the biggest problem was the white shower curtain.  I like the simplicity of it, but wanted to add something.

So, I decided to paint a design on the curtain using paint I already own.  The paint may not be the color I would have chosen if I could've spend some money, but it turned out great anyway.

I've been loving all the chevron patterned crafts, so I decided that would be a fun addition to the bathroom.  I found some advice on creating a chevron pattern here, but it seemed a little complicated, so I called my sister for some advice.  Then I measured out my shower curtain, decided how many stripes I wanted, and with a little simple division and addition, I figure out the dimensions I would have to paint.

I laid my shower curtain out on the laundry room floor and measured the points of the pattern first, marked with a pencil and then just connected the dots with masking tape.  This was the most tedious part.  If you want more details on how I measured, leave me a comment and I'd be happy to explain!  After the taping, I was ready to paint.  It was that simple.  I had to be extra careful to get enough paint on the edges so the lines were neat and clean.  I removed the tape from each stripe immediately after painting to avoid any bleeding.  It worked great!

After!

Next up: something to spice up the lower level bathroom.  Hmmm...
