How to Hang a Bead Curtain

If you're looking to add a bohemian touch to your decor, divide a room, cover a window or simply add some privacy, beaded curtains are an inexpensive and simple solution. Whether you have a beaded curtain with a slip for a curtain rod or one already equipped with a rod and two eyelets for hanging, you'll have your curtain up in minutes with a few basic supplies.

Beaded curtain
Tension rod
Pencil
2 cup hooks

Instructions

- 1
  Examine your beaded curtain to determine how it should be hung. Most beaded curtains either have a rod pocket running along the top or a stiff rod with two eyelets.
- 2
  Find a tension rod with small enough to slip through the rod pocket at the top of your curtain. String the rod through the pocket.
- 3
  Twist the rod until it's short enough to fit within the door or window frame where you want to mount the curtain. Position it at the height you want the top of the curtain to be, and twist the rod until it sits snugly between the two sides of the frame.

  Position your beaded curtain with a rod and eyelets against the door or window frame where you want to install it. Lightly mark the location of the two eyelets with a pencil.

  Screw a cup hook into the frame on each marked spot. Slip one eyelet onto each hook to hang the curtain.
