# How to Make Cafe Curtain Rod Brackets
The brackets that hold up cafe curtains on their rods are actually grommets. Grommets are metal circles installed onto the fabric that act as a support system by which rings can be installed without tearing the fabric. With cafe curtains, the grommets are typically very small and as inconspicuous as possible.
