Hanging Curtains the Easy Way

If you’ve ever hung curtains before you know how much of a pain they can be. Trying to evenly line everything up is no easy task. I have found that the easiest, fail proof way to hang curtains is by creating a template.

I originally got this idea from Ever After Blueprint and have loved how easy it made hanging curtains in my home I just had to share.

It is so easy! First, take a piece of cardboard and cut it into an “L” shape so that it fits around the corner of the window. Then mark with a pencil where you want to drill the holes for the rods. (I recommend hanging them as high as possible because it makes the room look taller.)Then simply drill through the cardboard to make the holes in the wall.

For the other side of the window you just flip the template over and it makes the holes placed the exact same distance from the window as the other side.

Here is a photo of the finished product!

This tip has saved me so much time and frustration. I hope it helps you too!
