How to Hang Net Curtains

Hanging net curtains requires careful measurement, preparation, and proper installation to achieve a beautiful and functional window treatment. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to hang net curtains:

1. Measure the Windows

- Measure the width of the window frame at the top, middle, and bottom to ensure consistency.

- Measure the length from the top of the window frame to the desired curtain length.

2. Purchase Net Curtains

- Choose net curtains that are slightly wider and longer than the measured dimensions to account for gathers and hems.

- Determine the desired fullness by measuring twice the width of the window for fullness or three times for extra fullness.

3. Prepare the Net Curtains

- Wash the net curtains according to the care label.

- Iron or steam the curtains if needed to remove any wrinkles.

- Hem the curtains if necessary. Fold the raw edges twice and stitch in place.

4. Gather the Curtains (optional)

- Create gathers by pinching the curtain material every few inches and securing it with a safety pin or small stitch.

- This step is optional and adds a decorative touch.

5. Install the Net Curtain Rod

- Choose a net curtain rod that matches the color and style of your curtains and is suitable for the weight of the curtains.

- Hold the curtain rod against the window frame and mark the spots where the brackets will go.

- Drill holes at the marked spots and insert wall plugs.

- Screw in the brackets and secure the curtain rod.

6. Attach the Net Curtains to the Rod

- Insert the net curtain rod through the rod pocket at the top or thread the rod through the hanging loops on the curtain.

- Adjust the gathers if desired.

- Slide the curtains along the rod to cover the window.

7. Secure the Net Curtains

- Fasten the curtains securely to the rod using curtain hooks, clips, or rings.

- Close the curtains and check if they drape evenly.

8. Finishing Touches

- Trim the excess fabric at the bottom of the curtain to the desired length.

- Add curtain ties, valances, or other decorative elements as per your preference.

Remember to be cautious while working with ladders or standing on furniture to reach high windows. Measure accurately and take your time to ensure a neat and professional finish. Enjoy your beautiful and newly installed net curtains!
