The trick of toilet paper on the curtain that few know
Do you want to change the look of your curtains without breaking the bank or getting too complicated? We’ve got just what you need: a toilet paper roll trick.
That’s how it is! You just need empty cardboard rolls of used toilet paper and a little creativity.
This trick consists of directly putting the toilet paper tubes between the curtain rings or cutting the cardboard kitchen paper tubes (which are a little larger) to the size that best suits you (approximately 3 or 4 centimeters) and Use them to hold up curtains with a distinctive and elegant gathered look.
Depending on the desired aesthetic, you can paint the rings the color you want or leave them natural.
How to give your curtains an amazing look
We just have to put a tube in each curtain ring. Some may be thicker or longer, which we have to measure a bit and possibly cut the tube.
The toilet paper tube is usually perfect for this method, but kitchen paper is usually longer.
That is why to perform this trick, follow these instructions:
- Calculate the width of your curtain and divide it by the number of tubes you plan to install. This will determine the spacing between each ring.
- Use a pencil or pin to indicate where on the top of the curtain each tube should go.
- Cut cardboard tubes into shapes of equal thickness and paint them if desired.
- Place the tubes in their designated places, threading fabric through each one so that it sticks out from the top.
- Repeat the operation with all the remaining rings and you’re done!
You can give your curtains a new look easily and cheaply with a simple trick. Plus, you can change the tubes whenever you want to change the look of your decoration. So why not try it?
