Hanging Pinch Pleated Drapes Using Clip Rings

Hanging pinch pleat curtains can be frustrating, but not if you use clip rings.

Pinch pleat drapes are normally hung with pin hooks.  Pin hooks slide into the pleated area at the top of the drape and allow the fabric to drape properly.

Once you have the pin hooks inserted, you can attach them to special curtain rings that are made for this purpose.

If you are going to hang your drapes with clip rings, you will not be able to use the pin hooks.  Instead of inserting the pin hooks into the pleats, pinch a piece of fabric behind the pleat and attach your clip rings.  This may not be the most sturdy way to hang your pinch pleated drapes as it may be difficult to grab enough fabric with the clip rings.

Another good way to hang pinch pleated drapes is by combining different types of hardware.  This comes in handy if you have not been able to find the correct hardware.  Insert the pin hooks as discussed in step 1.  Attach thin hooks to standard curtain rings.  These thin hooks can be found in the shower curtain section of stores.  Hang the pins from the lowest point.

There are several different ways to hang pinch pleat curtains.  You have to decide what method you want to use.  Some factors to consider are the look you are going for, how much money you are willing to spend, and what supplies you may already have on hand.
