What is the trick to hanging curtains with clip rings? »

bepsf There's no trick - You clip the clips, run the rod through the rings and hang the rod on it's bracket.

Alison Hodgson Thanks, Lily. It reminded me of a vintage tablecloth I had, but this one is even prettier. Great idea book; it was almost community service.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Lily Gahagan to Thinking Spring: Blossoming Branches
If cherry blossoms aren't blooming yet in your area, try a print with their likeness on it instead. This simple curtain panel is easy to make and brings a bit of spring indoors. Hang using a wire and clips, and it's all set.
Smith's mid-century modern office chair in burnt orange complements a desk freshened with new paint. Her vintage dogwood blossom tablecloth is repurposed as a curtain to welcome spring.
added by Erin Lang Norris to Take it Easy: Summer Camp Style
Casual drapes. This sweet vintage tablecloth-turned-curtain hums a tune of casual cool, perfect for breezy summer days. A simple wire strung with clips keeps the laid back feeling close at hand. This summer, switch out your roller blinds for something like this.
... or use just one to add a touch of vintage flair to a desk, nightstand or dresser.
A mid-century office chair. What a great juxtaposition between this burnt-orange chair and the romantic floral curtains with white desk. That hint of an unexpected retro chair gives the whole setup a splash of pizzazz.
added by Melissa Alvarado Sierra to Easy Living: 10 Cheap and Chic Decorating Ideas
4. Unearth great style from restored and used items. In this room, a tablecloth was turned into a breezy curtain and an old desk was given new life with a fresh coat of paint. Well-worn items, like this office chair, can end up looking more chic than their new and expensive counterparts.
added by Lisa Frederick to Create a Home Office on a Shoestring
As sweet and nostalgic as a childhood homework desk, this space has roomy drawer storage that offsets the need for shelving. I love that the curtain can be closed against distractions or pulled aside for moments when a little extra sunshine or daydreaming is called for.
added by Amy Renea to Defining Your Style: Just Love
This photo says it all. Clear cut furniture, bright white, pop of orange, beautifully patterned, but light curtains. THIS is my style. The addition of those blues makes sense. I've been spray-painting cans and bottles in a lighter shade of that turquoise for weeks now.
This sweet curtain is actually a tablecloth. Put that stack of linens taking up space in your kitchen to good use, or show off that darling vintage tablecloth you found at the flea market.
added by Kelly Porter to Your Home: Vintage Color
Here, a vintage metal chair adds a pop of radiant red to this workspace. You can find vintage office chairs at your local thrift store or on eBay.
