How Do You Make Velour Theater Curtains?
Voluminous velour curtains that hang across the stage are traditional in theaters. Adding velour curtains to your own stage, whether large or small, will add a big-time theater feel for the audience. Your own theater can have velour theater curtains with a little measuring and a little sewing. Step 1 Measure how long you want your curtains to be, from the ceiling to the floor of the stage. Add 8 inches to allow for your top and bottom hems. Measure the length of the stage and double that measurement for the width of your curtains. Step 2 Figure out how much fabric you need to purchase. Divide your length measurement by 3 to find out how many yards you need for each panel. Divide your width measurement by 60. Each panel will be 60 inches wide, since that is the width of most velour fabric. Step 3 Cut the fabric panels to the lengths you measured using scissors. Cut the number of panels you figured to go all the way across the stage. Step 4 Sew the panels of fabric together at the sides
