I use 9 rings per panel. It’s the perfect look. Curtain clips are great for DIYers. I just bought 6 bolts of linen fabrics and made my own curtains. I have two story arched windows, so I had to make my own if I didn’t want to spend a thousand bucks on custom ones. Since I’m not great at sewing the clips really made the process doable. Love the curtains! Your window looks amazing!
Love this! I’ve used inexpensive velvet curtains for years in all of my bedrooms (I flipped houses for a decade and so I staged many a room; also, my mom had a window treatments business while I was growing up so I was practically raised in fabric stores - kicking & screaming at the time but now I appreciate the foundation it gave me without having to study for it). I totally agree - velvet panels can look way more expensive than they actually are, especially when they are heavy and lined as yours are. Another tip is to hang them high & wide. Doesn’t work the same on bay windows but on a regular, straight window - hang them to the outside of your trim work (so that the inside edge of your curtain panel when in the opened position just covers the outside of the window frame trim- ie hide the edge of the wood trim but allow your window to be largely visible when the panels are fully pushed to the sides). And hang the rod high - about 2/3 or 3/4 of the way between the top of the window and your ceiling or crown moulding. You can go even higher if you wish, just leave a few inches below the moulding. This tricks the eye into thinking the room is bigger - wider wall and taller ceiling - all of which helps make a room look more expensive 😊
Thank you for the tips! Recently I was looking through a magazine and noticed the curtains raised high like you mentioned and decided to redo all the windows in my house. I just got my last set of curtains this past week and I’m so excited to see how this will turn out. I’m so not a handy person, my dad used to be that for me, but sadly he passed away.😓 The only thing I’m dreading, is that I keep thinking I’m going to mess things up trying to move my curtain rods up higher. Since I don’t know what the heck I’m doing. Haha🫣😅
Omg I can’t believe I just bought the exact same curtains on amazon $70 cad each in ivory and searched how to hang with curtains rings and found this lovely video! Thank you!!
Great tip! And yeah I agree with you those velvet curtains look very elegant, however, the problem is you cannot wash them at home you can only take them to the dry cleaners and that’s expensive.
That’s a great idea. I recently used a shower curtain with black rings in my dining room and they looked amazing! I took a 3rd shower curtain, cut it and attached it with Velcro at the bottom to extend the curtains to the floor. It looked great and you never would have known the difference!
I use pretty and inexpensive shower curtains, some with matching hangers, for my basic window curtains. They're easily washable and can be backed with clear or translucent plastic shower curtains in winter to block window drafts and keep the heat in the room.
Wow, Leslie! Such a beautiful kitchen you have created with these curtains. They make your room look so classy, elegant and expensive!! And thank you so MUCH for your amazing tutorial!! OMG, you don’t understand how much this is going to help me AND save me time! Not to mention save my brain cells!!😅 Right before I watched your video, I watched one that had me trying to do math to get these rings perfectly spaced out. I was thinking, okay maybe I don’t need to redo my whole house with these NEW curtains that I ALREADY purchased!!🫣🥴🤦🏼♀️ So so so SUPER glad I came across your channel!! Subscribe immediately. I’m all about ease and simplicity for everything!! And you did just that. As soon as you said “I don’t have time to be doing all that measuring, that’s 30-45 minutes of my life that I can’t get back…”! I knew I had made a friend for LIFE. 😂haha😂
It's true though!!!😂 I was losing my mind trying to figure out how to measure the rings to space them accurately. I'm never, ever looking back!!! Glad my video was able to help you. ☺ TFW and Happy Spring! 🌺
Thank you! I just bought green velvet curtains that are so soft but maybe not as thick as yours. The pleats are floppy so I’ll get the clips and hope they look like yours .
I’m late to this party, but the velvet curtains are a sure thang! I love them in my home as well! Great tips!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I wish I could get the hours I spent measuring back! 🧐🤨🤣😂🤣 Sometimes the common sense ain’t so common. 🤪😜
OMG. Google knows I've spent the last 10 days looking at curtains online. You popped right into my feed from Daddy Google, lol. I see this is few years back so I won't find your deal now, but I have been trying to decide how to hang them so thanks for your demonstration. Those rings look fabulous.
Thanks for the great tip..I have to redo mine mine are linen & thick the back looks just like yours..I really appreciate your help thank you never used those rings before & I really like them..Thanks
Thank you! I am getting hidden tab curtains but want to put them on rings as I need to open and close them often. I just could not visualize the rings and tabs together... thank you!
Yours looks so nice! Everytime I try rings and clips, it looks terrible. I attach the clip, and the ring opening faces forward, instead of being sideways, so the rings on the rod are sitting wonky.
I ordered the rods from Amazon. I believe they were from the Better Homes & Garden brand. They're specifically made for bay windows and were fairly easy to install. Hope this helps and TFW!
I know this is an older video, but do you remember length of curtains? Standard 84" too short for my home, tall ceilings/tall windows. Thank you! Your curtains are elegant.
Can you tell me how you joined the two rods at the corners. I have a similar space at about a 45degree angle so a finial would be in the way. Thanks for the tips!
Hi Leslie, I recently came across your video. Love it very much. I do have a quick question does your drapes keep unclipping? I've tried 3 different brands clips current clips I paid almost $20 per pack from Bed bath and beyond. Currently 3 clips have detach from my drapes and I'm getting so annoyed just looking at the whole thing
They're just a basic 1 inch rod I ordered from Amazon., I believe it was the Better Homes and Gardens brand for bay windows. The corner connectors were included in the hardware.
Clip the clips behind the curtain, on the tab or tape, and they’ll look even better! 👍
How???
I appreciate how clear your directions are. Thanks for a wonderful video!!

Wish you were in Atlanta. We could definitely do business!

Thank you !!! Love it 💕
Can't hear ya!
Going to keep watching and turn on captions. :)
Yours looks so nice! Everytime I try rings and clips, it looks terrible. I attach the clip, and the ring opening faces forward, instead of being sideways, so the rings on the rod are sitting wonky.
Glad I could help!
It looks amazing! Thank you!
Yep, avoid Grommet Curtains. Rings and Clips really do give a way better classic look instantly.
How did you install the rods? My kitchen nook is shaped like that , and I’m not sure how to install rods to fit the semi square shape.
I ordered the rods from Amazon. I believe they were from the Better Homes & Garden brand. They're specifically made for bay windows and were fairly easy to install. Hope this helps and TFW!
Just what I was looking for! Thank you for such a great video!
Glad it was helpful!
👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thanks for your helpful video.
You are welcome
What kind of rods did you use to turn the corner?
Maybe I missed where you mentioned, but where did you buy the panels in the video? They look awesome!
Hi, Jessica...Birch Lane. TFW!
Where did you find velvet lined drapes? Bought mine at Pottery Barn $140 per panel..

@@LiveItUpLeslie I ❤️these curtains and your idea for hanging. Can you please give the full description of these curtains.
Amazon got mines from there.
I know this is an older video, but do you remember length of curtains? Standard 84" too short for my home, tall ceilings/tall windows. Thank you! Your curtains are elegant.
Yes I do! I believed these are 96 inches.
@@LiveItUpLeslie Thanks for the measurement.
You should tell everyone where you got your curtains and the rings
I know this video is posted 3 years ago but thanks you save my life. I am going to hang my curtains with a clean look
Glad I could help!
Can you tell me how you joined the two rods at the corners. I have a similar space at about a 45degree angle so a finial would be in the way. Thanks for the tips!
We used an L Type pipe fitting and spray painted it. Attached it with a regular curtain rod hanger.
Hello, where’d you get your curtains from
Where did you get your curtians from amd what are they called
Blessings Sister Queen! Is it well of the rods over the width of the curtain significantly? I ordered the wrong size.
Where did you buy the curtain and what is the name and maker
Beautiful! I would have chose
Silver hooks to match the curtains.
Yes! Thank you!
Where did you buy the wonderful drapes.

Is there a link for the curtains?
Hi Leslie, I recently came across your video. Love it very much. I do have a quick question does your drapes keep unclipping? I've tried 3 different brands clips current clips I paid almost $20 per pack from Bed bath and beyond. Currently 3 clips have detach from my drapes and I'm getting so annoyed just looking at the whole thing
No, they don't. The curtain rings are very heavy. I got them from Amazon in bronze.
Thank you very much ！
Welcome!
What kind of rodes did you use, did you use rode connector for the corners
They're just a basic 1 inch rod I ordered from Amazon., I believe it was the Better Homes and Gardens brand for bay windows. The corner connectors were included in the hardware.
@@LiveItUpLeslie thank you!
How many rings did you use for each panel ?
where did u buy your curtains and the rings?? what size are the rings?? thanks
Amazon
Where did you get your curtain rods from?

How do you get the wrinkles out of velvet?
Ok where did you get your curtains from?
Joss and Main
How many rings total did you use on one 50" panel? Thank you!
I used all of them that came in the box I ordered from Amazon.
How did you get them to fall straight down?
Beautiful. Where did you get them?

Where did you find your curtain rods and how are they joined together?
Amazon. Search for Bay window curtain rods.
