Draperies - Fun Ways to Tie up Back Draperies

By Manuel Jenson


Curtain Pullbacks: Maybe you have seen the of the things?! The least expensive I'm able to find in local stores is $10/pair, and it's really seriously just an ugly little bit of bent metal. Oh, you need a cool jewel or coil to look at the end? Well, which is another $10! That of a racket! This how-to shows you how to generate curtain pull backs for pennies for the dollar.

Follow these a breeze steps and see how yours turns out!

Materials

Needle nose pliers Heavy gauge wire (we used wirehangers that we grabbed at a yard sale large quantities) Beads for decoration (this can be optional, determined by our your look and what you have already there) Washers (for installation) Screws (for installation)

Steps

You will need enough wire for each panel. Should you used the wire hanger idea, you will require one wire per window panel

1. Cut the straight area of the hanger, or should you be not using hangers, you will have to cut at least 10 inches of wire. You are able to clip off extra later, trust me, it's preferable to have an overabundance of than less!

2. Bend the cut rods right into a U shape *When coming up with the main bends, using somethings that shares an identical desired shape is effective. I oftentimes tried paint cans to wrap the wire around to help create and observe after the contour. You must understand that the heavier the gauge (or thickness in the wire) greater difficult it's to use.

3. While using the needle nose pliers, bend one end directly at the 90 degree right angle to position decorative beads or charms on later (it's also possible to coil it if you know how)

4. Using the needle nose pliers, clamp one other end while using pliers, then wrap your entire wire around once to make a loop containing two circles (this is the way you'll attach it for the wall

5. Since it is all totally bent healthy, add the decorative beading, or coil, or other design. Make sure that you crimp, glue, or otherwise secure the beads, or they'll go everywhere!

6. Adhere to the wall with washers and screws. Squeeze withdraw contrary to the wall (way sure it is facing the correct way or maybe it will not work correctly, for whatever reason it was the most difficult for me!), then the washers, then screw everything in to the wall. (should you not such as the look of plain washers, you can, paint, decoupage, etc. the washers).

7. Enjoy your awesome handiwork!
