Question: Arrgh ... How do I attach my curtains to a wooden pole?

Thank you for your question Daughter in some-sort-of-domestic-distress:

I understand your curtain pole is already attached to the wall.

Does the pole have rings like this?

I think you have been trying to attach the curtains directly to the rings ?

You need to buy / borrow / find in a cupbard at your mums ... a packet of Curtain Hooks ...

• Gather the curtains together to fit the width of the window by pulling the string in the tape at the top of the curtain. Secure at each end. [Tie in a bow so can be altered if necessary]


• Count out the hooks to equal the number of rings on the curtain pole.


• Push the curtain hooks through the tape on the back of the curtains. Space out equally.


• Slide the plastic hook through the tiny metal ring which is fixed to the large ring on the curtain pole.
  

Good Luck, Jill.
