To make the house more comfortable, most of the owners make out the windows with curtains. They also perform a practical function: they protect the room from bright sunlight and dust. You can strengthen them in different ways, including - on the rings. Such fasteners are easy to use and are not difficult to install.
Eyelets on the curtains look stylish and original.

Making curtains using rings has been used for a long time and is considered to be a fairly simple and inexpensive way. Some time ago, the curtains hung on the rings, which were put on the eaves and moved freely along the bar. The fabric was attached to the hooks, which were part of the product. If they were not, the material had to be sewn by hand.
Eaves with rings and clothespins for fabric
Currently, the curtains on the rings are used, but they look modern and aesthetically pleasing.
This type of curtains compares favorably with all the others by the presence of loops or rings, due to which they cling to the eaves and are tightly fixed
Today, rings for curtains, as the eyelets are called otherwise, continue to be used in the design. They are fundamentally different from simple plastic or metal rings, to which the curtain was sewn.
Fastenings are usually round-shaped, made of plastic or metal, but can be decorated under wood, leather
Curtain eyelets are products made of metal, wood or high-quality plastic. They are installed in pre-prepared holes located in the upper part of the curtain. Their fundamental difference is that they can have a different external configuration, but their interior is always round: it is convenient to put a curtain on the eaves.
Today the market offers curtains with ready-made mounts of different sizes. Various models are presented to the consumer:
There may be interesting options in the form of a steering wheel, dolphins, flower or cloud
Holders, depending on the material, have their pros and cons.
Cringles simultaneously fix the fabric and draw it out, thanks to which the curtain becomes the decoration of the hall
Eyelet for imitation eyelets
One of the ways to strengthen the rings on the fabric is the use of special accessories - a cringing tape made of a capronized material, onto which hot melt glue is applied. The curtain tape adds extra rigidity to the fabric and is installed along the top edge of the canvas. The sizes and color are different, so it can be used to mount eyelets in various formats.
If organza or other light tissue is used for work, a special transparent tape must be used.
It is easy to apply to the fabric: it is sufficient to heat it so that the adhesive properties are manifested.
A curtain with grommets will decorate the room, and for durable fixing you will need a tape. There are two types of this product on the market:
Translucent cringing adhesive tape with one-sided thermal layer
Semitransparent tape for curtains with double-layer thermo-layer and textile coating
Attention! With all the ease of installation of the grommet, you need to be careful and monitor the degree of melting glue. When overheated, the adhesive mass will melt and leak through the fabric, leaving spots that will be very difficult to remove.
You can buy everything you need to make fixtures in specialized stores, and many home craftsmen install them by hand.
The curtains on the grommets and tulle on the grommets decorate the room, giving it a well-groomed and cozy look.
To independently install the rings on the curtains, you must follow these guidelines.
Necessary materials and tools for sewing curtains
We choose the grommets of a suitable size, such that their inner bore diameter is 1.5-2 cm larger than the diameter of the cornice
Cut out the fabric, adding 12 cm: 10 cm for the upper hem and 2 cm for the bottom
Fold the top edge inward by 10 cm, glue the grommet tape inside the fold that has formed, and iron it
We make podgib of 1 cm and we stitch the top edge
Properly and beautifully we lay out our grommets - from the upper edge of the curtain to the grommet of 2-4 cm, between the centers of the grommet - 15-22 cm
When marking the fabric should be considered the possibility of its displacement
We plot with a pencil on the inner diameter of the grommet the place for the hole
Carefully cut the holes in the fabric 2 mm wider than the intended line.
Take one part of the grommet and place it under the curtain
We cover the second part of the ring and firmly press with your fingers until it clicks
After the marking is made and the holes are cut, you can safely install the mounting rings themselves
Important! Placing curtains and tulle on the grommet should be at such a distance that the fabric does not sag. Their number must be even.
The depth of the folds of the curtains depends on the intervals between the rings, the recommended average distance is from 15 to 22 centimeters.
Photos and videos with descriptions and tips for installing rings can be found on the Internet.
The finished result is a curtain with eyelets to the nursery for a girl.
For several reasons, the grommets may not be installed on curtains, but they can be imitated if the curtain is made of thin fabric.
To do this, you need a grommet that is attached to the fabric in the usual way, but with gaps. They are used as loops through which the eaves can be passed. Curtain tape with the effect of eyelets successfully replaces the ring. The bar will be closed with the upper part of the curtains, the fabric is going to beautiful folds.
Work on the implementation of imitation does not take much time.
It is easy to remove such curtain, it maneuvers well on the eaves, falls into elegant vertical folds, and also looks good in any room.
Ready curtains on the grommet make the room more comfortable. There are other advantages that this method of curtain installation has:
As a disadvantage, there is a requirement to carefully measure the distance for fastening with clamps.
Customer reviews also note that not all rings are equipped with a full set of fasteners. If there are hooks on the rings, the owners will have to sew the loops themselves.
