Sun bleaching is the main reasoning you line curtains but also structural. You want the curtains stiff enough to hold pleats. They're your curtain so do whatever you want, I'll never know!!! ;)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349687071580858191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261219.post-60608343544708184162017-04-17T22:44:00.526-06:002017-04-17T22:44:00.526-06:00If the backside of my material is plain , do I nee...If the backside of my material is plain , do I need a liner ?

So I am thinking of using 3m sticky hooks like the ones used for wreaths. They have them with a metal hook, that I will use as the o ring for the cord. Also going to use hooks for the rod at top on the same.

But thinking I may be able to attach the ring screws into a sturdy but narrow piece of wood. Then attach them to the door with 3M adhesive hook pads. Also want to attach the magnetic rod with the adhesive pads - just a bit higher than the rings as you demonstrated. Hope it works. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your expertise!Ninashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18371923648179469841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261219.post-60255630392470803052014-11-11T19:38:12.911-07:002014-11-11T19:38:12.911-07:00Nicely done - and the end result looks great!
