I originally shared these damage free – renter friendly draperies at East Coast Creative, but I forgot to include a photo of what it looks like on the top, so I included one below!
I love draperies, but since we’re only here short term, I didn’t want to take the time to hang a rod (and fix it upon moving out) so I used 3M clear hooks for a temporary solution. They are fixed, so I can’t open and close them (easily), but there are translucent pull down shades, so it’s not needed here.
First I added a black tassel trim (purchased on ebay) to Ikea Lenda white panels (and added a hidden tab for a cafe rod for future use, tutorial here). I sewed, but permanent fabric glue is a great option for those without a sewing machine.
1. Measure desired height, place piece of painter’s tape.
2. Measure spacing. For my 54″ wide panel, I spaced mine 3″ apart.
3. Place 3M hooks according to directions on package.
4. With upholstery thread sew a couple of loops on the back of the panel. (confirm placement for height taking into account hook placement.
5. Hang your panels on the hooks!
These were SO easy and a perfect temporary solution!!
I have been thinking of how to do this for CT and this looks like the way! Thanks for sharing Sarah!
LOVE those!!! i want some tassel or pom pom curtains in my life.
I've never seen it done like that before- genius!
That's a great idea!
I have been looking for the perfect spot for a pom pom trim in my house. Love your curtains.
So smart!!
Such a brilliant idea. Love it! Also, that vignette with your office desk and the letter on the wall is just perfect. 🙂

I like the black and white chair… you are so talented and had amazing gift with your hands 🙂
Hi, This is a great idea! Do you mind if i repost on my company's facebook page?
Thank you : )
I've even seen someone take 3 of the large command hooks to suspend a copper pipe to use as a curtain rod. I probably wouldn't hang really heavy drapes but that way you could still open and close the curtains.
I Love this! Thanx for sharing 🙂
