# How to Insert Clips Into Pinch-Pleated Drapes
Pinch-pleated drapes are known for their elegant, sophisticated appeal. Often made of weightier, more luxurious fabric than curtains, these drapes may be lined with cotton, linen or polyester. They may also be backed with light-blocking or heat-insulating material. Pinch-pleated drapes may be attached to rods via hooks or ring clips. Hooks can be easily inserted into the center of each pleat. Ring clips can be attached two ways.
