    This video popped up in my recommended feed, and it was an absolute lifesaver! Thanks to the tips shared, we managed to hang all our curtains throughout the house in just one day. Saved us tons of time!

    I've hung curtains before, but this template saved me so much time and effort. No extra holes and everything was aligned. Thank you so much!! Great Idea.

    Absolutely genius. Just finished reinstalling some curtain rods and this method by far is the easiest way. Thanks for sharing this brilliant idea with us.

    This is the best tip I've come across for hanging curtains! All those Lynette Jennings and Martha Stewart shows I used to watch and this never occurred to me!! This is the first time I hung curtains PERFECTLY level and no extra holes in the wall! I'm so happy! Definitely worth taking the extra time to construct a template.

    Thanks you two, great video, it was a complete tutorial for hanging my own curtain rod. I ran into some wood, I would suggest drilling a 1/8 hole first to see if the dry wall is hollow or has wood behind it so you don't creat a large anchor hole for nothing. Thanks for posting, Cute couple!

  • @christinesforza8600
    @christinesforza8600 3 года назад

    Good Job! I have never wanted to use anchors. Consequently, I have pilot holes all over my walls where I used a stud finder to find studs that, of course, are never equal distances from the window frame. So frustrating. I have hated hanging curtains always. I will give the anchors a try even though my curtains are heavy. Any suggestions for the type of anchor to use with heavy curtains?
    Thank you for a great video.

    • @barbaroacosta5335

      Toggle bolts if you're doing professional work for someone else, they'll last a lifetime. However, in your property, you can get away with the plastic anchors.

    Hi thanks for your video, Is this a Ryobi 18V drill. I borrowed this one from my mum but she hasn't used it. I need to put curtain rods up, but I have a very hard piece of wood I need to drill into, i think it might be Jarrah. Is this drill strong enough to drill into it. I tried to drill into it, but it didn't go through the wood. Maybe I didn't put it on the right setting or use the correct drill bit, do you have any advice, I am new to using a drill.
    Maybe I need a stronger drill. Not sure yet.
    Thanks 😊

    • @younghouselove
      @younghouselove  3 года назад

      Yes, this is the Ryobi drill you mentioned. We've found it to be strong enough for most jobs, except for instances where a hammer drill (like for masonry) is needed or when stirring batches of tile thinset. Then we use a corded drill.

    How do you know what size anchor

    • @younghouselove
      @younghouselove  Год назад

      We were using screws and anchors that came with the curtains, but you can also find sets that are sold together for a perfect match.

  • @jkbc
    @jkbc 3 года назад

    I think she can explain better than him LOL. Would you tell us the size of the cardboard? my window look almost exactly like that, same distance to the ceiling. I had to bring my curtain rod from the old house to the new house so I don't have that anchor nail anymore. How do I pick the right size of the anchor?

  • @preetbrar4861

    Thanks for the tip, dont we need to find stud ?

    • @younghouselove
      @younghouselove  3 года назад

      Nope! Your curtain rod should come with anchors that you can use to hang right into drywall. That will give you the flexibility to put the rod wherever you want.

      With the ceilings and windows not being perfectly level due to the age of the house, this was a safer way to make sure they related to each window exactly how we wanted.

  • @servant5948
    @servant5948 4 года назад

    The template is a cool little trick, but you need to make a new one everytime you need a different size location to mark. There is a new tool on the market that solves this problem, called the Rody Precision Corner.
