1. Materials Needed for This Project (100 words)

First of all let me start with the essential material you need to gather, as creating any customized curtain panels without sewing is impossible without proper materials. 

1.1 Curtain Panels

Okay, first of all, begin by choosing curtain panels of your liking. 

Here you wanna remember to go with the same or at least similar patterns or colors. 

1.2 Fusible Tape (Hemming Tape)

Next up is the fusible tape or hemming tape as it is more commonly known. 

For me this is a magic tape. It effortlessly bonds fabric together when heat is applied. Really good for creating a robust seam.

1.3 Tape Measure

A quality tape measure. It is essential for measuring your curtains accurately.

1.4 Straight Pins

Some quality straight pins for your dress. These pins will help properly secure your fabric during the process.

1.5 Sewing Scissors

Then a pair of quality sewing scissors. As you need it for cutting fabric and tape.

1.6 Trim (Optional)

Then comes a trimmer, this is needed if you desire to add a decorative touch. Remember to select a contrasting color or style of trim.

1.7 Hot Glue Gun and Sticks

Final tool In the list is something I hate to use but it is very useful for attaching the decorative trim securely.

2. Creating Custom Curtain Panels Without Sewing (650 words):

Okay, Ladies, Now that you’ve gathered your materials. 

Let’s get started on creating custom curtain panels without a single stitch in a measured way. 

2.1 Measure Your Window and Curtains 

First of all you need to begin by measuring your window’s length and width. Curtains only look best when they are properly hung close to the ceiling and extending to the floor but don’t touch it. 

So, allow for extra width to create fullness and make your windows appear wider.

2.2 Add Hem Allowance 

Okay on the second point. creating a polished finish you gonna need an additional 2 inches to both the length and width measurements for hem allowance. 

This little extra fabric is going to ensure your curtains have a clean look once the fusible tape is applied.

2.3 Cut the Fabric 

Next up, it begins cutting fabric. 

First, lay your fabric upside down on a flat surface marking your dimensions. Now, fold up the bottom edge of the fabric to the marks and secure it with straight pins. 

This ensures the folded edge serves as a cutting guide, ensuring a straight line.

2.4 Create a No-Sew Hem

Alright, fourth step in getting the hemming done without sewing. 

And it is easier than you might think. For this start by folding over one edge of your fabric by 1/4″ to 1/2″ and begin ironing it to create a crease. 

Then, fold it over one more time, placing fusible tape between the two folded hem pieces. Now, just iron the hem to fuse the tape completely. 

Here you wanna make sure the tape has melted by gently pulling the hem open or just iron it again if necessary. 

Repeat this process for all sides of the curtain panels.

2.5 Add Decorative Trim (Optional)

Now, it is time to add the personalized touch that you are here for. And the best way to do this is by adding decorative trim. 

Here you wanna begin by cutting a piece of decorative ribbon or fringe to match that hemmed length of the curtain and also have an extra two inches. 

The best tool to use here is a hot glue gun. It is perfect for attaching the trim to the top edge of your curtain panel.  Just about one inch down from the backside. This will add a stylish detail and prevent fraying in your design. 

Alright. Now just flip the curtain over and glue down the trim along its entire length.

2.6 Create a Pinch and Pleat Look

The sixth step is all about creating a pinch and pleat look with the help of curtain clips. 

Achieving an elegant pinch and pleat appearance is easy with curtain clips. Here you wanna begin by folding in two small folds of fabric at the top edge and secure them together with a clip. 

Now, you repeat this process until you’ve attached all the curtain rings. 

Once done, hang your curtains to double check.

Conclusion 

 Congrates! You join the two curtains without using a sewing machine, giving your windows a stylish and personalized look.

Now, there is no more need for needle and thread to sew curtain panels together when you just use a double-sided fabric tape.

With the help of various curtain fabrics and two panels tools, connect curtain panels effortlessly.
