Instead of just blocking out the sunlight come nap time, you can actually harness it to bring a little night time magic into your child's room. With a pattern of 60 stars inspired by real star clusters, the Twinkle Curtain does just that.
We were a bit skeptical at first since it looks like the pattern lets in quite a bit of light, but the curtain is made out of a cotton blend blackout curtain so with the star cut outs, it probably lets in as much light as a normal curtain does without the cut outs. And this one is lot more fun. This has us inspired to think of other ways to use cut outs in curtains.
The Twinkle Curtain is available at Etsy store GRAstudio.

This would be an awesome and easy to do on run-of-the-mill roller black-out shades... except I guess it kind of defeats the purpose of black-out. But TOTALLY cute!!!
HIL-LARIOUS that according to the package, this curtain "harness(es) the sun's energy to illuminate dreams" and "foster(s) childs deep daytime sleep while sparkling their imagination". Ummm... who wouldn't want their kid to have a sparkling imagination?!?!?!
I've been planning on doing this on my daughter's blackout shades when she outgrows her need for absolute darkness at naptime. I may back them with a sheer to diffuse the light.
I got the idea from - wait for it - the counting sheep episode of Abby's Flying Fairy School!
That's pretty cute! I bet it would look even dreamier with a sheer curtain placed in front of it.
Very cute idea, those not completely practical.
ugh our black out shades dont truly fit the window. so light is let in mega time on the sides. there is a little tear in my daughters room shade i think a decorative hole punch is calling it!
The baby in the Etsy listing looks way too little to be sleeping in that bed. Hopefully posed just for the listing? Or maybe not? My kids would have fallen right off that race care bed before they were 2. :) Cute curtain though.
Love it! My kids have never needed total dark to sleep anyway, so this would be practical and lovely for us.
"My kids would have fallen right off that race care bed before they were 2" Good thing it's not too high off the ground.
