Want something really special...Then swag curtains like this are the business

"Swag curtains a trully stunning window treatment that looks so sophisticated. Yet are suprisingly simple."

Take a look at the stunning window treatment below. It took me three hours to fit and hang these swag curtains. They may look complicated, but are really simple to put together. All you need is a 3 inch (50mm) pole and a staple gun.

So what do you think ?

I'm sure you agree a stunning look to any room. Want to see how it all came together. Then take a look at the sketch below to see the component parts. I have also put a step by step guide to help you. Click image to see large picture.

Below is a sketch of the component parts of this window treatment. Two curtain panels and one swag panel. That's all there is to it.

All the curtain panels are pre sewn into their pleats. So simply fix into place and finally dress.

1. Take the left curtain panel,which is 2.5 inches longer than the right curtain panel. Lay the curtain panel lining side up. then wrap the top of the curtain over the pole and staple onto the right of your pole.

2. Next take the right curtain panel and lay lining side up. Then simply place the top of the curtain onto the right of your pole. Then staple into place. Both curtains are now stapled into place on your pole. One wrapped over and the other simply placed on top of the pole and stapled into place.

3. Then the swag spans between the curtains. One end of the swag fixes straight to the back of the pole (the wrap over end). Then the other end of your swag comes round to the front and then wraps over the pole and fixes over the back. You are stapling on top of where you fixed the top of your curtain panels.

4. Finally dressing the curtains back into the open position. Take a look at the sketch and see the little tabs a quarter up from the bottom hem. These are used to hook onto small tie back hooks fitted into the wall both sides of the window.
