The clear plastic ones with clear pockets, to put postcards or pictures, bathtoys or whatever. screw you, urban outfitters for $25! I'm gonna make my own. Has anyone done this before? I found instructions that describe using grommets. I have no idea how to go about this, or if special tools are needed. But what about my faithful friend the hot glue gun? Does anyone know if hot glue would somehow melt or steam off from being in the shower?

I have the one from urban outfitters and although it did cost a lot, it has held up extremely well ( I use shower curtain liners with it and I have had it for 2 years).

But, if you decide to make one, it's really easy. Buy 2 clear curtains (one to use as the curtain and one to cut the pockets out of).

Attaching the pockets with gromits are probably a better idea and as far as I know, you don't need any special tools. Plus, they're cheap.

I'm not a hot glue girl, so I don't know much about whether it would work or not, but I think any waterproof glue mixture would work well.

I strongly suggest using a shower curtain liner with it so that you can protect the curtain you've made and the stuff that is in it. And, once the liner gets icky, just replace it with another one! (they're CHEAP)

good luck, let us know how it turns out!

depending on what your style is, you could attatch the pockets with red duct tape or some other kind of waterproof tape. red would be my fav, but they have blue, green, yellow, black, white, and of course.....silver!

I have a purple shower curtain w/ clear pockets, I got it for $3.99 at 'Big Lots' (I don't think I could have made if for cheaper than that.

Good luck to you! -Sarah

I would stitch it with a big, tough needle in a sewing machine, use some type of plastic epoxy, or use the grommets. I don't think that hot glue would work very well UNLESS it melted the plastic because it doesn't really hold together non-porous substances too well, like slick plastic. If you put toys in it, it will also be more likely to fall apart. I imagine to insert grommets you would use a larger version of an eyelet tool. I also imagine you could buy one wherever you could buy grommets.

I bought one of these at Bed Bath & Beyond for less than $20, I think, but I must say that it is really high quality and will probably last a long long time. But I always say go DIY if you can!

I don't think hot glue is a good idea - it probably would melt sooner or later. I think superglue is your safer bet. But even better would be stitching pockets on with sewing machine - use strong needle (such as for leather) and one of those plastic-y threads. That would probably work best, I think.

i just found directions to make one of these right here on getcrafty. go to craft, then lessons learned from glitter, then shower curtain gallery.
good luck!
