Best answer:

Answer by addiemae97
In January a lot of department stores have nice sales on linens and drapery, but a simple solution would be to use sheets they can be found fairly cheap you need to get top sheets. I use sheets for drapes in two bedrooms,and they look nice. Might take four sheets per window with your wide windows if you cannot sew you can glue them together.
