Not every window needs fancy drapery or curtains. Some windows, such as
in your bedroom or den, will suffice with a bit of window dressing.
That's when you want to hang a window scarf. A window scarf is a piece
of material that simply hangs in front, or on the sides, of a window.
It's not a very elaborate curtain, but it dresses up the window
nevertheless. All you really need is the material and the hardware to
hang the scarf. There are a number of ways to hang a scarf. You can use a
curtain rod and simply drape the scarf over the rod, or you could hang
the scarf between two brackets and let it curve in the middle [source:

learn how to make and hang a simple window scarf.

Here's what to do:
Buy the fabric of your choice. The fabric should be twice as long as the area you wish to cover.
Lay the fabric out on a flat area.
Cut it to the desired length.
Fold the fabric accordion-style lengthwise. You can make the folds any size you wish. Secure the folds with safety pins.
Install two brackets on either side of the window and lay a pole across them.
Pin the fabric in place, using thumb tacks. The thumb tacks should be
placed next to the brackets that will support the scarf [source:
window-treatments-made-easy].
Drape the fabric over the pole and remove the safety pins.
Remove the thumb tacks from the fabric and even out the ends. Pull down the center of the scarf a bit at the top of the window.
