Crafts & DIY SpecialistChoose a string that will make your curtains durable but beautiful. I recommend a micro-filament line. It's basically a fishing line, so it's clear and strong. It'll show of your beads, and you won't have to worry about it breaking. -
QuestionWhat kind or string should I use?
Community AnswerYou could really use any type of string, like yarn, as long as you secure it at the end really well. If you are working with more delicate beads, fishing line or thread would work well. -
QuestionHow do I drill holes on the curtain rod for inserting the strings?
Paula BinderCommunity AnswerThe strings in this tutorial are hung using split rings. These are commonly used as keyrings. You just slide the rings onto the rod, no need to drill. -
QuestionHow do I prevent my curtain from getting tangled?
Community AnswerYou need to work on one strand at a time. Cut your string, add it to the split ring, then string on your beads. As soon as you finish the strand, hang it up. If your curtain continues to tangle even after you hang it up, it might be too long or hanging in a too-active part of your house. Gently comb through it each day with your fingers. -
