Curtain rods are so expensive, as are special rods for wall hangings. So when I needed a rod to hang my husbands prayer shawl on, I looked for a way to make one.
I had my son find a fairly straight tree branch, that had already fallen off the tree, and strip the bark off it. If you are going to cut a branch, you would need to let the wood dry out before sealing it. My son then sanded it, and put on a coat or two of clear sealer.
It came out very nice. I gave my husband the job of hanging the rod on the wall. He used twine. I like the way it looks.
You could make, or buy, inexpensive brackets to hold the rod, also.

Very rustic and nice. Thank you for sharing this week at WFMW.
