Curtain tiebacks add a touch of sophistication to a room's interior. In addition to neatly holding the curtain in the middle, they attract a lot of attention because of the material they are made of. You'll be surprised at how a few simple items lying around can help you create unique drapery accessories.

Curtain tiebacks are the finishing touch in the design of the window and the entire interior.

Types of curtain tiebacks by material

Foamiran drapery grabs

Foamiran flowers are a great addition to any interior. You can make them using the main color palette of the room or make an accent of a contrasting color, also complementing other interior details with this color (pillows, vases, poufs, photo frames). Just choose the shape of the flower, bouquet that you like best or copy from the scheme. You need to make templates of the petals, and also, if desired, leaves of different shapes. To fix the parts, you will need hot glue.

The flower is glued to a universal metal clip, or attached to a satin ribbon.

Luxurious beaded curtain tiebacks

Beads easily match the texture of the fabric, look natural on the curtains. Beaded accessories are very easy to create and give a special look to the drapery. If you do not have an accessory for the curtains yet, you need to choose the fabric. The fabric can be crepe with a satin lining or velvet. The most important thing is that you need beads. It is much easier to use a ready-made beaded tape or large beads. Create your own unique pattern and sew the beaded tape to the fabric. Instead of beads or crystals, you can add sea shells, creating elegant holders.

Description of the order of sewing ties

As a simple sewing project, curtain tiebacks provide an opportunity for beginning sewists to learn the ins and outs of a sewing machine.

Making a simple long rectangular tie will only take you a few minutes.

Things you will need.

  • Soft, flexible tape measure
  • 45 cm of fabric in the same color as the curtains or in a contrasting color.
  • Folding board
  • Scissors
  • Threads to match the garter
  • Sewing machine
  • Hand sewing needle
  • Wooden or metal rings (optional)
  • Pins.
DIY Curtain Tiebacks
Combined with simple curtains, they will become a real decoration.
  1. Pull each curtain and hold it in a position that indicates where you plan to install the mount. Hold one end of a soft tape measure against the wall where the hook of the mount will be. Carefully wrap the tape measure around the curtain. Note the footage. You can adjust the degree of tilt - the curtain can be looser or tighter, depending on the desired look.
  2. Add 3 cm to the length of the tape. For example, if you measured 40 cm, cut a strip of 43 cm to hem the fabric at both ends. Calculate the desired width of the garter. For example, if you want a strip of 5 cm, you will need 10 cm + 2.5 cm for hemming.
  3. Place the fabric on the board. Mark the length with a pin at the top and the width at the top, bottom and middle points. Cut out a long rectangle. Use the first fabric cut as a template for the second, laying it on top of the fabric and cutting around it.
  4. Fold the tape in half with the right sides together and sew a straight stitch 3cm from the edge of the sewing machine, following the marks on the bottom plate under the fabric. At both ends, press the reverse button on the sewing machine to go back with your stitches. This locks the end seams and prevents them from tearing. Sew one end in the same way as the side seam, running the machine in reverse along both edges to secure the seams.
  5. Trim the edge within 1cm of the stitching. Turn the garter inside out but fold the open end over the stitched piece, bringing it down until the tie is on the right side.
  6. Fold under the unsewn edge of 3 cm. Pin it in place and close it by hand with small stitches to complete the return. Repeat the sewing steps for the second binding.
  7. To create a buttonhole, follow the procedure for your sewing machine, as it requires adding a special foot attachment to the machine. If you don't want to create a buttonhole, simply hand-sew two metal or wooden rings on either end of the attachment. These are available at fabric stores.

Please note: Remove all pins while sewing as the needle may break if it hits them.

How to sew holders from satin ribbons.

Ribbon with silk flowers

Head to the fabric store to find some satin ribbon to make a flower garter. Choose large flowers that coordinate with the room's color palette. Suitable flowers include hydrangeas, pom-poms, dahlias, and peonies. Simply cut the flower from the stem. Place a dab of hot glue on the base of the flower, attach to the ribbon.

Magnetic closure

Magnetic holders are an alternative to fabric ones. Think outside the box to make a shiny magnetic holder for curtains. It's not as difficult as it seems. Just a couple of magnets glued to the ends of the tape. You need to consider the ratio of the size of the magnets to the density of the curtains. A magnetic accessory will work better when grabbing the curtain from the center than from the side.
