Curtains are not the last component of the interior: they become one of the finishing touches in the entire composition. It is important that all their details are combined with each other, with the direction and decoration of the room. They will bring laconicism to the design and make the atmosphere more harmonious. One of these accessories is miniature tiebacks that seem invisible.
These curtain decorations will add dynamics and beautifully frame flowing fabrics. Craftswomen can make curtain clips themselves. The publication lists methods that show how to sew curtain tiebacks from different materials.
Features of curtains for the kitchen
Curtains in the kitchen are not only responsible for comfort. With the help of a certain style and color of window curtains, you can correct some shortcomings - for example, make a small kitchen visually more spacious with the help of simple, airy tulle, or visually raise a low ceiling due to vertical drapery.
Simple, discreet curtains make a small kitchen visually larger and lighter, while multi-layer curtains, on the contrary, make the interior heavier.
Other important factors in choosing a curtain style include:
- interior style;
- the presence or absence of a balcony door;
- headset layout;
- plate location;
- purpose of the room (kitchen, kitchen-living room, kitchen-dining room, studio);
- degree of natural light.
Soft toy holders ↑
Such accessories are perfect for decorating children's rooms. The principle of the pickup is that the toy will wrap its paws around the canvas, giving it the desired position.
To create a functional decoration, it is best to use small toys with long legs or tails: monkeys, crocodiles, seahorses
To fix the toy on the canvas, you can sew auxiliary elements to it: loops, buttons or laces.
A loop of rubber band is sewn onto one paw of the toy, and a button of the appropriate size is sewn onto the second paw.
Compositions of pairs of animals that wrap around the curtain on both sides look interesting, as if they are climbing along it to the ceiling.
Why do you need a curtain tie?
Tiebacks are an accessory that holds curtains in the assembled position. It has both practical and aesthetic meaning. Opening the curtains lets in more sunlight. If the curtains are fixed in a certain position, they are less likely to be touched with hands. The fabric gets dirty less often and you have to wash it less often.
Tiebacks are an accessory that performs two functions: practical and decorative.
The grabbers beautifully drape the material and create neat folds. The window looks more aesthetically pleasing and cozy. The proportions are corrected (the opening is visually stretched, raising the ceiling). Accents are added to the interior of the room as a whole.
Picking up from CDs
It is simply impossible to pass by such beauty. Here's how it's done:
Option one - The curtain is threaded through the hole in the disk.
Option two – The curtain does not fit through the hole in the disk.
How to choose a pickup
To create a harmonious interior, the material of the curtains and the style of the room are taken into account:
- For light curtains made of tulle, thin cotton or polyester, and thread curtains, magnetic tiebacks, pins, chains, ribbons and ropes are suitable.
- Heavy classic-style curtains are decorated with accessories made of noble fabrics or braided cords with luxurious tassels. They also use solid clamps in brass and bronze with an antique design.
- For Provence and country styles, raw lace, jute twines, flower decor, linen and cotton fabric are suitable.
- Shabby chic is complemented by ribbons, bows and lace in pastel colors.
- For the loft they take forged products, brutal belts and chains.
Attention! The tieback can be the same color as the curtains or a contrasting one. The second option attracts more attention; it is used when it is necessary to emphasize the decoration. It is better to choose a plain accessory for colorful curtains.
Chic and safety
An interior detail in the color of a powdery rose will attract everyone's attention with its unusual appearance. To create unique accessories, you need to use imagination and a simple set of materials. Most of which are present in any home.
Types of grabs
If you start looking for photos of curtain tiebacks on the Internet, you will soon notice that they come in different types. Each of them has its own advantages.
Rigid and flexible
Soft fabric holders can match the shade of the curtain or contrast with it. In addition, they must be combined with the shade and design of the cornice. The shape of garters can be classic, braided, straight or cone-shaped. Based on the general style of the room, ruffles, frills and lace ties are used.
Lovers of the classics prefer symmetrical draperies.
To emphasize the original design of the curtains, they are decorated with ornaments, embroidery, beads, themed tiebacks - for decorating the kitchen, reminiscent of fruits or for a children's room - small soft toys.
Even the most inconspicuous curtains will be transformed and look stylish if you choose the right garters for them.
Among the soft types, brushes and cords decorated with glass beads, metal and plastic parts are distinguished separately. Hard models can be metal hooks or hairpins. The hooks are made in the form of a loop, which is attached to the side of the window.
Metal
They are quite an interesting solution. They can be of simple form or represent exquisite, forged works of design art.
Magnets
Models for curtains with magnets are an ideal option for attaching lightweight fabrics. Sheathed magnets (from funny plastic smiley faces to semi-precious stones) are sewn onto the ends of clips made from ribbons, decorative cables or twisted cords. The most popular magnets for curtains are metal or plastic products of simple geometric shapes (round, oval, diamond-shaped), plain, with a pattern, decorated with rhinestones or covered with fabric.
Plastic
This material is suitable for lighter fabrics. Diverse and versatile. Therefore, plastic wall holders are suitable for any interior.
Hairpins
Cloth clips made of metal, plastic or wood differ from similar hair accessories only in size. They must match the fabric in density. Light tulle curtains are best suited with small, elegant pins; curtains made of thick fabrics will need to choose large items. Hairpins are not suitable for heavy curtains; metal holders or fabric “banana” tiebacks are more appropriate here.
Tree
This classic option will be appropriate in almost every room design. But most suitable for a strict and elegant interior.
The photo shows a curtain decorated with a wooden tieback.
Leather, eco-leather
Real leather, leatherette, eco-leather are an excellent option for creating curtain holders. The appropriate texture, color, and thickness are chosen in accordance with the existing interior design. Genuine leather, even if it is just a narrow strap, can easily hold even a relatively heavy curtain. A product woven from four to six narrow strips also looks beautiful. Sewing an item on a machine is not difficult even for novice craftsmen.
With brushes
Multi-colored twisted cords with tassels are a noble status decoration. They look especially good on exquisite luxury fabrics: brocade, velvet, velor, thick silk. Draping heavy fabric with them is easy - just tie it like a belt in the right place. Often such curtains are monophonic and rich in color, and cords enliven their monotony.
To make the draperies look harmonious, the fittings must be selected in accordance with the status of the curtains. Luxurious curtains, “belted” with cheap cords, will look more than modest, and light flying curtains accompanied by heavy ropes with massive lush tassels will look tasteless.
Kanzashi
They are created using the technique of folding squares of silk fabric. As a result, unique decorations are obtained, which in turn are also used as tiebacks.
Non-standard
They can have the shape of a flower, an animal, a geometric figure, etc. For their production, wood, metal, straps, ropes, and improvised materials (lace, macrame) are used.
Bows
They look elegant and give the room good energy. They are associated with the holiday and awaken joyful memories.
Cutlery
Stylish curtain holders for the kitchen are made from ordinary cutlery: forks, spoons, cups. To make them, just bend a fork or spoon and attach them to the wall, and cut out the bottom of the cups and hang them by the handles on hooks attached to the wall. Metal devices are able to hold thick curtains. Porcelain and earthenware cups can only hold tulle with light curtains.
Beads
Beaded curtain tiebacks are suitable for plain or pale-patterned curtains in the bedroom and living room. They look elegant and create a chamber, peaceful atmosphere. To create tiebacks for curtains from beads, you can take ready-made jewelry or assemble them yourself, using not only beads, but also rhinestones, beads, all kinds of decorative chains that are in harmony in texture and color with the design of the room.
Toys
Cute toys made of felt or plush, hugging curtains - the perfect design for curtain tiebacks in a nursery. They can be draped over the fabric, holding it with long legs tied in a knot, a tail into which a wire is inserted, sewn onto a strip for curtains made of satin ribbon, attached to magnetic holders, buttons.
Another fashionable variety today - cute fairies, ballerinas, tilde dolls have become a new breath in window design not only for children's rooms, but also in living rooms, as well as when decorating windows in children's cafes.
Accessories of complex shapes, bright colors, decorated with shiny fittings are suitable for plain-dyed curtains. For curtains made of printed fabric with a complex pattern, it is better to use simple tiebacks made of the same fabric or cords with tassels.
Foamiran
Foamiran, also called EVA, plastic suede, revelour, “foam” is a soft decorative foam material used for needlework. Tiebacks made from it are usually decorated with quite realistic flowers, entire bouquets, made mainly in pastel colors. This design will fit perfectly into the interiors of classicism, shabby chic, and baroque.
Macrame
Macrame is a popular type of needlework, an applied art based on the knot weaving technique. Curtains with tiebacks made using the macrame technique look very original; they are capable of gathering dense, heavy fabric, but they also look great on light curtains with a successful design.
From scrap materials
It is not easy to list everything from which they are made. The materials used are ropes, ribbons, twine, braid, yarn, scraps of fabric, old jewelry, ties, belts, belts, candlesticks, computer disks. Even plastic bottles can be used, because they can be covered with fabric or tied. The choice depends only on the imagination of the master and on what he has at hand.
The use of improvised materials makes it possible to bring to life seemingly crazy design ideas and realize unspent creative potential. A small detail in the form of an unusual or simply beautiful holder or a bright magnetic curtain tie often becomes an accent and makes the interior special and not boring.
Types of materials
To make grabbers use:
- textile;
- ribbons;
- cords, ropes, decorative twine;
- burlap;
- fur;
- knitted fabric;
- skin;
- plastic;
- metal;
- magnets;
- elastic materials, etc.
Foamiran
Foamiran is a decorative foam material (its other names are foam rubber, foam EVA, plastic suede, revelour). Looks like thick paper, soft, elastic. Used to decorate flexible holders. Leaves and flowers are made from it - orchids, roses, bouquets of crocuses, tulips, etc., which look life-like. Foamiran is not afraid of moisture and sun.
Tree
Wooden holders complement the classic interior with simple-style curtains. More often, wood is used for gripping in the form of a pin (pin) or a handle attached to the wall. The surface of the wooden model can be smooth or carved.
Plastic
Plastic tiebacks imitate the texture of wood, stone, and metal. They come in different models. Plastic is used to make rigid holders and parts for other models. Jewelry is made from it (small figurines, beads, etc.). Plastic holders will not be able to support the weight of heavy curtains.
Cords
Suitable for interiors in styles: country, Scandinavian, minimalism. For weaving cords, cotton, linen, acrylic, viscose, polyester, metallized and hemp threads of 1 or 2 colors are used. Natural fibers are soft and pleasant to the touch, but require careful handling.
Synthetic ones are elastic and do not stretch during use. The minimum diameter of the cord for grabs is 5 mm.
Leather and leatherette
Leather tiebacks are used in medieval and loft style interiors. The products are durable - even a narrow strip of natural material will hold the curtain. The belt is in harmony with curtains of similar shades, with forged elements - a cornice or a hook on the wall. The product can be decorated with inlay or metal parts. Tiebacks made from a piece of suede or woven from 4-6 narrow strips of leather look more delicate.
Metal
Metal tiebacks of various designs will decorate industrial, loft, hi-tech, and empire interiors. Varieties of products: matte, shiny, simple and sophisticated, in the shape of a hand or a lion's paw, decorated with forging (leaves, curls, flowers), balls, stones, glass, embossing, etc. Metal tiebacks are the strongest and most expensive.
Design features of tiebacks depending on types of curtains

How to tie curtains yourself
Photos of options on how to beautifully tie curtains with your own hands demonstrate the variety of options. When choosing a method for attaching the holder, you need to take into account the location of the window, the fabric from which the curtain is made and the number of panels.
Double curtain
Let's look at how to tie curtains consisting of two panels. There are several ways to beautifully fix two curtains at once:
- Symmetric. The ties are placed at the same level on both sides. This technique will make the interior harmonious. To make the window look strict, the fabric is left taut. If you spread it out a little in a semicircle, the decor of the room will look romantic.
- Asymmetric. In this case, the hairpins on the sides of the window opening are placed at different heights. As a rule, one of them is level with the window sill, the second is slightly higher or lower. This technique will make the room non-standard and visually expand the wall. In addition to different levels of placement of holders, their shade or shape may differ.
- Angular. In this case, the edges of the curtain are gathered in the middle and moved to the side, securing the fabric to the wall. This will create a tent effect, and the window will be partially open. This method is recommended to be used for double-sided fabrics. It will look especially impressive if the canvases have contrasting shades (white with black, gold with red).
- Cross. Each of the panels is attached to the opposite side of the window. This looks good with colorful curtains made from light fabrics. You can tie muslin using the same method.
Single curtain
To secure one curtain, a tie located in the middle is suitable. If the curtain has neutral shades, then the garter can be decorated with stones and other decorations. If there is a pattern on the fabric, then the color of the holder should match the shade of the main background or the color of the ornament.
Curtains can be tied at the desired height using a knot. If it is high, it will visually make the window more elongated. A single panel can be assembled on one side of the window using a rigid fastening, which hides the fabric pick-up.
If the fabric has calm colors, then you need to use a bright tie. Another option is to lift one side of the canvas diagonally, partially opening the window.
Beautifully tie the curtains in a knot
Using a knot tied on a curtain, you can significantly change not only the area of the window, but the entire room. There are different ways of tying, the choice depends on:
- fabric quality;
- window locations;
- number of curtains.

Main options
But nodes are the most universal method, suitable in most cases, for example:
- One curtain. First, decide on the desired height of the node. If the knot is pulled high enough from the floor, it will visually lengthen the window; if low, it will make the opening wider, and a small knot in the center will give the window opening symmetry.
- Two curtains. If you want to bring order and harmony to the interior, tie knots at the same level. If you want to emphasize the strict design of the curtains, leave the fabric elongated. If you want to add romance and lightness to the room, pull the edges of the curtains out from under the knot and drape them in a soft semicircle. An asymmetrical option adds a special flavor to the room, when the nodes are located at different levels - this also visually expands the space.
- Two windows. If the room is equipped with two windows with a small distance between them, the ideal option to hide this partition would be to tie the curtains with a lush knot, together with the use of magnetic tie-backs, securing the canvas in such a way as to disguise the wall.
So, all of the listed methods of tying curtains can transform the interior, let sunlight into the room and even change the geometry of the window. When choosing accessories (tiebacks) for curtains, it is important to take into account the style in which the room is decorated, the fabric structure of the curtains and, of course, personal preferences.
How to make a “corner” garter
To create a “corner” garter, lift the curtain by the inner corner to the desired height and align the corner with the main curtain fabric in this place, attaching one magnet to the end of the corner, and attaching the second magnet to the other side. Both magnets will attract each other and will hold the corner of the curtain in a raised position. You can safely purchase magnetic tie-backs for this method of tying any fabrics and even heavy ones. And most importantly, curtain magnets do not damage the fabric at all. This is a huge advantage of this accessory.
Here is another method, but it is more suitable for light flowing fabrics, but in some cases it can also be used for medium-density fabrics. It is necessary to assemble the curtain from the side with your hands, make the folds sequentially, slowly, wrap it with a cable or magnetic tape and fix it, connecting the two parts of the magnet. In order for our drapery to look beautiful, it is necessary to pull out the outer folds of the fabric from under the cable or tape.
That is, we make overlaps and, depending on the planned model, you can do this at the level or below the window sill, or closer to the ceiling.
There is another way. It looks very unusual and is especially appropriate when you have a curtain made of lace tulle, light organza, tulle or veil. This method of decorating curtains looks fresh and adds fluffiness to the curtains.
For such gathering of light fabric, it is better to choose small curtain magnets, on a short cable or on a short satin ribbon. And here you can choose magnets either to match the color of the canvas, or in contrast, with decorative additions, for example, artificial flowers - it all depends on your preferences, interior style and curtain model.
Mounting height
The mounting height of the tiebacks influences the impression guests and residents get about the geometric parameters of the window opening.
If you install accessories close to the window, it will seem narrower; if you hang it further away, it will appear wider.
When deciding on a location, you should pay attention to a number of important points:
- Curtains gathered into draperies at the height of the window sill will not provide a visual effect. Curtains fixed to one side will not have an illusory result either. The use of such options is recommended only in cases where the curtains occupy the entire wall.
- If you want to visually expand the window, then the curtains should be draped at a distance of approximately 1/3 from the ceiling. This technique is recommended for kitchen windows and shortened curtains.
- When installing tiebacks below the height of the window sill by 250 - 350 mm, the window opening will appear taller and narrower. This method is optimal for long curtains made of heavy curtain fabrics.
Tieback color
The color scheme of the tiebacks, like them themselves, can be very different. The tiebacks can be made to match the color of the curtain, then they will serve only a functional purpose - to hold the curtain.
Contrasting tiebacks are made from partner curtain fabric, or any other fabric that matches the color. In the kitchen, the scoop can be made in the same color as the tablecloth and potholders, or other bright kitchen utensils. For a child's room, interior elements in pink, soft lilac, if this is a girl's room, tones are suitable.
Tiebacks using gold thread, with fringe and tassels are very formal and would be more suitable for decorating a living room in the appropriate style.

Design options for the interior of rooms
The curtains themselves are already a window decoration, and with the help of additional decor you can give the room even more shine and luxury.
Living room
To create luxurious interiors, brushes with twisted decorative cords are used; ready-made magnetic tie-backs are suitable for light, airy canvases. Also, to decorate curtains in the living room, they use clamps with a scattering of rhinestones and sequins, chains, and options made of wood, leather or fur.
The photo shows the interior of the living room and green curtains with fur tiebacks.
Bedroom
All delicate and light fabrics are suitable for the bedroom; thick and soft ties can be used, including even fur. It all depends on the overall design direction and style. The effect of relaxed ease will be enhanced by different mounting heights on the two halves of the curtains
A simple but very functional accessory in the form of a thin fishing line with a plastic or crystal-encrusted star at the end will be almost invisible. And the star will gracefully emphasize the purpose of the bedroom as a place for comfortable sleep and relaxation.
Children's
In a children's room, a curtain tieback is less of a decoration and more of an opportunity for games and toys. The brighter and more interesting it looks, the better. Huge lush bows and rosettes on curtains, canopies, and near a newborn’s cradle are very cute. As the baby grows up and begins to move around the room independently, his environment will change. And what you can’t come up with, a child’s imagination will suggest.
To prevent children from tugging at the curtains, clinging and getting tangled in the curtains, the most common tiebacks will help adjust the length until the younger generation grows up.
Kitchen
Kitchens typically use lighter curtains, such as eco-friendly linen curtains, which pair beautifully with almost any type of decor. Thanks to drapery using tiebacks, there is always a continuous flow of light in the room.
What tasks do pick-ups solve?
The main purpose of using garters is to secure the fabric in a certain position. Provided you choose the right model, grabs provide:
Tiebacks can not only facilitate the process of opening and closing curtains, but also enliven even a boring interior, give the room a finished look, and enhance its individuality. Curtains with tiebacks can decorate not only window openings, but also doorways, the background of the stage, and the walls of the banquet hall. When choosing the type of garter, the following rule is followed: the more complex the shape of the curtains, the simpler the garter configuration should be.
How to make it yourself
Not everyone is capable of forging metal clamps or sewing a luxurious product using the kanzashi technique. But simpler options are quite accessible. Many types of original potholders and clamps are easy to make yourself. The “classic” idea of a tieback is a fabric fastener, which, like the curtains themselves, is sewn according to patterns and diagrams. To make a simple accessory you will need the following materials and tools:
- fabric - to match the curtains or the same color as a bedspread, tablecloth, wallpaper, upholstery, carpet;
- cardboard template - the future form of the clamp;
- fabric chalk or pointed soap - to transfer details;
- sharp scissors for cutting;
- sewing needle;
- threads to match the fabric;
- sewing machine;
- iron;
- "safety" pins;
- two iron rings - bought at a craft store, but also suitable for belts and large earrings
How to do it step by step:
- First you need to calculate the length of the tack. It depends on the thickness of the curtain fabric - for thin tulle, 20-25 cm is enough with a minimum width of five to eight cm. For velvet, heavy printed fabrics, blackout curtains, you will need at least 30-40 cm of material, with a width of ten cm;
- the detail is depicted on cardboard using a pattern, cut out, transferred to fabric, previously folded in two layers “face” inward, fastened with pins so that it does not move;
- the element is cut out, taking into account seam allowances 1.5-2 cm wide;
- the workpiece is stitched manually with a “forward needle” seam or stitched on a machine, but so that one of the narrow sides remains open;
- what happens is turned right side out, the unstitched edge is carefully sewn together with a hidden seam;
- the resulting “banana”, rectangle, or shaped product is smoothed with an iron. Additionally, it is allowed to stitch all external contours;
- Metal, plastic, or wooden rings are attached to the edges of the part (stars, squares, hearts, etc. are acceptable) - they are sewn on, put on a pot holder, the fabric is threaded through them, fastened two cm from the ring, which is hooked onto a nail hook sticking out from walls.
Original ideas and manufacturing instructions
To make sure that the tack fabric fits the curtain, you need to wrap or pin a sample of the selected material around it and leave it for a while, observing the combination of textures and colors in daylight and artificial light.
Disc holder
For 1 grab you will need: 1 CD, corrugated cardboard, scissors and glue.
Work order:
- Mark the boundaries of the inner diameter of the holder on the disks using a compass.
- Cut. Treat edges to remove burrs.
- Cut out the same piece from cardboard. Glue it to the plastic one.
- Wrap the hairpin with a material that matches the fabric of the curtains: ribbons, yarn, jute twine, trying to pull it evenly.
- Decorate with elements of the same or similar material (curls, flowers). As a hairpin, use a knitting needle, painted in the color of the hairpin.
Knitted
Openwork tiebacks are knitted in the form of stripes. You will need a pattern, threads and a hook. In the central longitudinal row, a row of double crochets is knitted and a ribbon is threaded through the holes formed. It will not allow the product to deform and will serve as decoration.
On magnets
For 1 curtain you will need: 2 magnets (if the curtain is heavy - 4), a flap or ribbon to connect them, decorative elements (keychains, buttons, shells, flowers and leaves made of textile or dry, such as a bouquet of Kermek, etc.), hot glue.
Performance:
- Sew a jumper about 30 cm long.
- Leave the ends open. Glue magnets to them and wrap the edges.
- Decorate, focusing on magnets.
From a plastic bucket
The principle of operation of the holder is the same as that of a product made from a disk, but due to the bends of the walls of the bucket, it covers the curtain from the front and sides. This allows you to secure it with a pin without crushing it.
To make it you need: a plastic paint bucket with a capacity of 5 liters, scissors, a marker, double-sided tape, sushi sticks, acrylic paint for them, hot melt glue, yarn or other threads for finishing.
Step-by-step instruction:
- On the side surface of the bucket, mark the contours of the pickup in the form of an oval with a marker. To keep the part even, it is better to use a template. Cut out.
- Cover the edges with tape.
- Wrap with yarn. The coils should fit tightly to each other. Glue the ends of the threads to the inside of the product.
- Wrap with contrasting threads with distances of 0.5-1 cm between turns.
- Paint the sticks. Try on the holder. Glue flat elements of ornamental jewelry onto the visible part of the ends of the sticks.
With ruffles
Take: an elastic band 3-4 cm wide (a narrower one will not give a beautiful fit), a strip of fabric 1.5-3 times longer than the elastic band, beads or other decorative elements.
The pickup is done like this:
- Process the bottom edge.
- Attach the elastic to the top edge, turning it to the wrong side. The elastic is stretched so that a frill of the desired pomp is formed.
- From the inside, the grip is reinforced with tape or braid.
- Decorate the top edge with several rows of beads if the fabric is transparent. Otherwise, individual small elements will do.

Magnetic latches ↑
To make the accessory you will need:
- a pair of magnets; a piece of fabric or tape to connect the elements; additional decorative decorations.
The choice of decorative jewelry is limited only by the preferences of the master: dry leaves, textile flowers, beads, rhinestones, key rings
To sew a curtain strip with your own hands, a simple part pattern will do: a rectangle 30 cm long and 12 cm wide. If desired, the corners of the rectangle can be rounded.
Important! When transferring the paper pattern to the canvas, do not forget to leave 1 cm from the edge for allowances.
The tape or selected piece of fabric must be made of dense material. Thanks to this, the product will retain its shape under the weight of the suspended fabric.
To give the product greater rigidity, a plastic strip or a piece of non-woven fabric can be placed inside between the pieces of fabric.
Having joined the edges of the two patterns, stitch the workpiece from the wrong side. After this, turn it right side out. Magnets are attached to it using hot glue.
You can decorate the magnets using a piece of fabric, covering them from the outside and fixing them with PVA glue
Attention! Keep in mind that if magnets have the same poles, then when connected they will repel each other. You can correct the situation by turning one of the magnets 180°.
Using magnetic clips, you can easily make your curtains more visible and expressive, and your interior design more vibrant and elegant.

Unwind the bundle and thread one end of the wire through the other. We do this with other pendants.
We twist all the ends and pass them through the lace. We create loops at the ends and place them on the hook. DIY curtain tiebacks are ready.

Sewing
We fold the entire fabric evenly and sew along the edges, but leave a small piece unsewn. Then you need to turn the fabric inside out and sew the remaining piece.
We make bends from all edges to the inside, keeping the distance of one finger. We skip the ring and sew it on a sewing machine or by hand. We put on the tassel and attach it to the curtains.
