I love that she gave credit where she got the idea. Mark of integrity and success. Brava! 👏👏👏
I agree
I noticed that too
Dang now I have to redo my curtains. This the never ending project for my large window.
We just put 2 prongs and spaced it evenly. Glad you have the patience for this.😉
Finally, thank you a lottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
We just got the black curtains with the pink peonies from IKEA for our sunroom. I remembered watching this video and handed the hooks and the curtains to my husband and wished him well. He has patience like yours, and I so appreciate people like you and my husband. I'm stressed from the other room. lol
If you mark the holes you want with a disappearing ink marker, it will make it super easy. Then steam it to make the ink disappear ( or wipe with wet cloth, or use a water spray bottle). Get marker at any craft/fabric store or walmart, even.
I did this before I read your comment and it really did work!!
It makes me smile to see some of the styles coming back that we had when I was young. I didn’t think I would ever hear the word pleater hooks again! But, there it is. Love the curtains!
Many years ago I went to my deliberately last Tupperware party. The seller was telling me how I could put tuna in this tub and cake in that tub, etc. Not exactly rocket science. I'm so happy to see instructional videos from curtains to cupboard replacements especially by women. Thanks.
I am going to do this! So pretty! I would mark the spots for the hooks so that it would be easier to rehook them after washing🙂
The rod color & placement to show the trim is so well done! Beautiful curtain choice!
I love the rods and rings! Your living room is really coming together beautifully, so much more grown up. I never have liked those tie top drapes, they’re so hard to slide on the rod, it seems.
Lisa, love the look of pleats. Especially adore the antique brass rods and rings. Thank you for sharing.
I love that look it’s timeless
When we lived in Germany I was totally lost on how to hang curtains. I had my American curtains I had brought (pretty poor back then), and the house had tracks in the ceiling. A German friend I had showed me how to get those inexpensive clips, and just clip them onto the tops of the curtains, so I could open and close them. No AC there, so closing curtains in the summer helped keep the room cool. Since then I have loved their curtain hanging style, as well as the windows they had. One day I’ll get those types of windows in my home...they are pretty pricy here, but absolutely wonderful if you like to open up windows.
I like that idea, the brass rods do uplift the curtains to another level 💯💯💯
Lisa you home is coming along beautifully.
TUFS
Really looking forward to your Christmas decor video as we loved it so much last year! Thank you for the curtain tips Lisa 😊
The secret is to count the number of pockets on each panel and measure what length you want your finished product to be. Also see the number of rings you have, bearing in mind that you can add rings. Then put a hook on each end of the panel and one in the middle then count again. Then working only on the one half of the one panel, put in a hook in the middle of each quarter, then measure again. Then a hook again in the middle of each section. Then measure again and count the number of pockets you have between each one, if there’s space, go again in the middle of each space. But keep measuring and comparing. If you are a little out, you can always leave a pocket less or more on the ends. This has always worked very quickly for me.
I really love Ikea hacks, there are so many options even with furniture!
I love the curtains. They are so beautiful with the tailored look. So inexpensive too!
OMG! I've sewn drapes like this with the special strip to do this! This is so much easier!! thank you thank you
The brass is so pretty😍 I want to try to make this work with my drop cloth curtains 😊
The curtains look so beautiful especially with the brass!
I have had to put so many of these hooks, so many times, in my mom's curtains as a child that now I get stressed just thinking about them 😂
I will choose to admire them in someone else's house lol.
Those curtains are perfect ! Can’t wait to see what else you do with this room !
The windows look so pretty and polished with the pinch pleat style and the gold rod
Thanks for sharing that Lisa! That’s going to come in handy when I put curtains in my new house
Love love love. I am so bookmarking this for when i update my curtains!!! Love your tutorials! Sincerely, mom who needed an easy hack!
Great tutorial. I like how you attached the rings for hanging and didn’t have to use a special rod for the hooks like I have😁❤️
I love the curtains. We used to make pinched pleated curtains in the 70’s, but we didn’t use the round curtain hook at the top of your curtain. Very clever. One thing I always did was take each pleat and fold it perfectly,, lay it down on the ironing board, cover it with a cloth and steam the pleat for sharp creases. What is old is new again. I have never seen that pinch pleat tape for the back of the curtain, as ours was a different type. Thank you for sharing.
So glad I finally decided to search on UA-cam because I've been trying to find the perfect pinch pleated curtains but could not find the ones I wanted at a reasonable price. I've scrolled by a few ppl advertising DIY and I'm a DIY Diva but have sooo many projects going on that I wanted the easy way out. However, since it looks simple enough, I'm going to try it. Thanks so much for sharing 👌🏾
Those curtains with the rods really suit the room much better. Looks regal. I grew up in an old house with the tall ceilings, thanks for the great idea regarding these Ikea curtains.
I love the look! The brass is classic
You amaze me. What a beautiful home!
Just got the Ritva curtains and they’re definitely a loss leader like the bananas at Trader. I think they look fantastic. I actually found NoNo brackets so I could use them to cover vertical blinds in my apartment without putting any holes in the wall and it was so much easier than leveling an actual curtain rod
A deep wall color in a flat or low sheen would look amazing.
Oh my gosh! I have always wondered about these curtains after hearing about them, but never had the time. Thank you, thank you for sharing this. I now know what I am doing for my new place. Again thank you Lisa!!! Really loving your living room. Can't wait to see what color you chose for the walls or the finished result.
O
Lovely curtains, adds so much
I like this idea. The brass rods look good. Stay safe and well, thanks from Australia🐨🐨🦘🦘
Lisa, such beautiful woodwork. My ceilings are very low, but this is still a lovely idea. Thank you and keep everyone healthy.😀
Thank you for being so thorough !
Oh my, I bought the Rivta curtains for my living room. I am in love with them!! They are so high-end looking at such a reasonable price. I admired your curtains a while back and I am so thankful you posted where they were purchased. Now, I need a pair for my bedroom!
This looks so good. I can't wait to try this. Thanks!
Looks great love the house God has blessed y'all.
I totally understood what you meant about previous curtains...a little more open/ loose at the top..perfect for a bedroom..love the more tailored looked ...and easy to do too... thank you for video! 🙋🏻♀️💕🇬🇧
They came out great! What an awesome diy
Thank you , the curtains look amazing and I continued love it the other ones 💙
I love the pleats! I usually use four panels instead of two because it seems to make the drapes look more substantial. I think I need pleats now. 🙂
Great idea! And if you buy plain linen covered buttons just sew them in the middle of each pleat to make them even more high-end!
Beautiful curtains in a beautiful room!!!
I'm so glad I came across your channel. You saved me over $1500 on custom drapes. These curtains transformed my open living and dining room.
Glad you’re listening to your house!😉
Oh!! Those are old school hooks Mom had them.. I luv how they look in your living area.
Thank you , Thank you, Thank you for taking the time to show us.
Thank you so much! This could not have come at a better time ❤️🥰
Yes! Thank you! Was so frustrated that my curtains never looked quite right!
Without your how to I would’ve never figured these pleat hooks out! Love my curtains! Thank you!
So glad!
You always have the best content to share. The Lord has blessed you with so many talents.
Beautiful work transforming your curtains! Thank you for sharing with all of us ~ love your windows:).
Sweet to be with you:)!!
They look really nice and I like the rods.
My mother used to sew drapes. It was very involved. What a great idea- I’ll have to try it.❤️
My grandmother worked in a custom drapery workroom sewing curtains. This brings back memories. I had a cigar box full of those hooks and put them in recycling about a year ago. 😳😳
I binged so many videos on your UA-cam channel. I found you, when I was looking for minimal baby essentials. I’m currently pregnant! I just want to say, I love your channel❤️
Thanks for the tips! Recently joined your channel and had no idea about pleats, hooks, etc. The things we learn on UA-cam! I know it’s not a new concept but it is a new concept to me. Thanks for sharing with the new generations 🤗
Thank you for the tip! I can't find that style of curtain on my Australian IKEA, but they have plenty of other curtains with the pleat tape backing that will work just fine! Thank you so much for this. My windows have been naked for too long!
Looks really nice, thanks for sharing.
Ikea we love they have so many great deals and they're beautiful and their prices are amazing for anyone who has not been there
I am moving and almost got rid of these! I'm totally doing this in my new place. So excited!
Very good info. Thank you. You never disappoint!
Excellent, LOVE this hack and your tutorial
Really good video and I watched tons on this curtain stuff. Thanks for showing the other option as well! Congrats on your home
I never heard of this until this video.. I like it and will definitely check these out. We have 10' ceilings with 5 7' tall windows along the living room wall. We thought it was going to be super expensive to cover them & make them look luxurious. But thanks to this video, we can do it on the cheaper side and not need to order custom curtains. Thank you
THANKS SO MUCH! Canceled my $700+ curtain order & ran to ikea for these. They look so good!! 🎉
Your tip is great can’t wait for more by the way IKEA has great curtains I buy them when I change a room.
Thanks for that, I had these curtain problems now for years and did not know how to fix, hope I find these in germany, of course we have also Ikea!
I love this tip. Thanks 🙏
Mom uses these on her drapes, but(!) I wouldn’t have thought to do this “on the cheap” Nor with the addition of circle hooks. Both great ideas, thanks.
I really really like this idea
Extremely helpful tips
Love these, thanks 🙏🏻 have a blessed weekend 🤗👍🏻💕
I replaced old off white pinch pleat curtains and valance with Ikea velvet and semi-sheer (double rods) hung high and wide as you did. I was astonished at how much better it looked snd how much more light they let in.
New subscriber. The curtains and the curtain rod with the antique brass rod rings looks awesome. Great job!!
My first time watching you and you taught me so much... Thank you and i look forward to watching more of you. :)
Fabulous idea of using pleated hooks on Ikea curtains for a tailored, expensive, finished look! Love the gold rods and rings too. Hope you link them. :)
Lovely and ready in such an easy way✌
Oh so beautiful Lisa ! Loving that room!
Thank you so much!
New here ! Window treatments make all the difference! Awesome tip! Thnx!
Great presentation.i just put my order in and I will try this with the guest room.tyvm
love the idea. thank you for sharing
Pleater hooks! Thank you!
Wow, Lisa! This is absolutely beautiful!!! This video is so timely as I’m getting ready to hang up the curtains in the living and family rooms and wow 😍 what a statement! I always just hung my ikea curtains on a rod but I really really love this look!!! It looks so high end! And i LOVE the brass rods!! I’m off to check out the links! Thanks so much dear for always bringing so much value! Hope you and yours are well ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Love it...I want to try that method. lovely....thank you for sharing
Just beautiful!
Thank you!
That looks great.
I love the curtains! We have two large windows place right next to each other and I searched long ado for an extra long rod and couldn’t find one. Time to search again!
So helpful! Thank you.
Love this!
☄Tres Chic☄. Never thought I would like brass again, but it is slowly growing on me. (Always did favor gold over silver.) Looks lovely with the creamy curtain panel you picked.
Nice to know about IKEA option. Added pleater tape to affordable curtain panels from Big Lots a few years back. Actually sewed on a matching black-out panel behind the curtain first. Also doubled up on them, so it looked more luxurious. Able to do w/my beginner level skills.
Went this route, so I could clip them into the existing custom drapery set-up.
🤗
Looks so nice
I just found this video. I never learned about hanging curtains and you have helped me immensely. I have liked and subscribed. Wishing you and yours a blessed and Happy New Year.
I think the difference would be casual curtains versus more formal drapes or draperies. In our house growing up my mom only had formal pleated drapes of different lengths and materials. In our more casual family room with our huge family table she had a mid length, natural undyed flax pleated drapes verses the more formal floor length white linen pleated drapes with wrought iron curtain holdbacks.
Pleated drapes really went out of style completely in the early 90s when the very long, billow on the floor curtains and the tab top curtains became almost universal. It’s kind of nice to see the pleated drapes coming back again.
I love these curtain rods! I’ve been looking for antique brass ones and here they are!! Can always count on you :) Curious -- what diameter did you decide to go with??? Keep up the hard work on this beautiful room!
First time here. Pretty! Love smart creative minds; never knew of this method to pleat the curtains. Thank you!
Great tips
