    Mary, here's a tip you might like to make you windows look even a little larger. Instead just attach each of the last clips on either side of your curtain panels to be attached 'past beyond' the brackets. It will hide the bracket and make the window look larger because the curtain will then extend further out beyond the window frame. I hope this makes sense.

    • @CarolZone8A
      @CarolZone8A Pƙed rokem +43

      This also keeps them neat since the panel can’t drift in towards the center of the window. It stabilizes them.

    Absolutely love the curtains. I've never seen anybody do a little pinch pleat at the top. What a great idea. And honestly I love the fact that the walls and the curtains are close in color. I think it looks very classy. I wouldn't paint until you get new furniture and see how everything looks. Great job.

      YEP! They do look GREAT and what I like most, is that it shows everyone that you don't have to have a lot of money to decorate your home. Fifty years ago when I first married, we had $5.00 YEP. I had to be creative I have always loved lace. I came across four square pieces of a lacey material, pinched the top with clamping curtain rod rings. This made beautiful cheap kitchen curtain. Can't wait to see more.

  • @vbachman6742
    @vbachman6742 Pƙed rokem +32

    Good tips from everyone about hanging with at least 1 curtain ring outside of the brackets. I have 4 since I extended the rods about 8 inches. I also put rings on the panels before hanging them so I don't have to work with my arms raised for so long and risk unbalancing. I measure everything before fastening rings to be sure they are perfectly spaced (because of OCD tendencies 😊).

    As usual, beautiful! I agree with earthy artist...when I did this I spread the panels on the floor, folded & attached rings. Then just slipped the rings on the rods. The key rings are so sweet 💌👌 HAPPY VALENTINE MARY 🌾🌾🌾

    @peggy-ann1961 Pƙed rokem +13

    Those curtains are beautiful, it just goes to show how a small change can make such a difference! I do have a suggestion....move the last clip on each end to the outside of the brackets. This will balance the look of the rods and prevent the curtains from sliding. Great tutorial on your pinching method! 👏🇹🇩

    Your new drapes look terrific. Drapes are SO expensive... so I've had drop cloth curtains/drapes for probably 5 years now, and I love them.
    In the winter, I fold them in half (instead of a little valence) for extra insulation for our old windows. Yes, they become "curtains" instead of "drapes". Makes a difference in the temperature of the room. Also keeps the light out more.
