Making Curtain rods

The first step in making perfect curtain rods is to make perfect measurements. Once you have selected a dowel as your curtain rod, you will also need two large, screws to apply the hooks, and two decorative attachments to put on each end of the rod . Usually, browns and tans work well for curtain rods, but the decision is strictly yours. You now have all of the necessary items needed to make a perfect curtain rod.

There should be atleast an inch of room on both sides for the curtain rod to comfortably rest. The next step is to sand down your dowel and apply your chosen finish to the rod. After a period of drying, you can then slide your curtain onto your new curtain rod (make sure the rings are big enough!). The last step is to attach the finials you have selected to complete your curtain rod’s look. You have made a perfect curtain rod!

There are three distinctive parts to a curtain rod. You can easily manipulate the appearance of your windows by the placement of which you hang your curtain rods. As well, if you want wider looking windows, you can slide the pole out and hang the drapes wider. You can also use a curtain rod to hang and support wall coverings that are made of decorative fabric. There are many ways to aid you in your home building needs just by using curtain rods and being creative.
