Drapery Panels with Rings
Drapery panels hang casually from rings and a coordinating decorative pole mounted near the ceiling. A full lining made fabric like Waverly Glosheen Antique helps protect the fabric from the sun providing a longer life for the drapery and plenty of fullness allows for privacy and light control when needed.
Tips and Creative Alternatives
- To achieve accurate results every time, mount all the rods prior to cutting and sewing the panels.
- For mounting, choose traditional drapery pins and rings or easy-to-use clip-on rings.
- For greater hold, consider using wall anchors with your hardware.
- Before you shop, measure window width and length, as well as each window separately as they may differ slightly in size and distance from the ceiling.
Materials
- 54 inch wide decorator fabric
- drapery lining
- stiffener such as buckram or any style pleater tape, 4 inches wide
- decorative pole and rings
- drapery pins or clip on rings (Use single point drapery pins when using rings that feature a stationary metal jump ring. Eliminate drapery pins entirely when using clip-on rings.)
- mounting hardware (often included with pole)
- all purpose thread
Read instructions thoroughly to determine yardages and rod lengths.
Tools
- sewing machine and iron
- straight pins and scissors
- yardstick and pencil
