Drapery Tiebacks - Getting Creative And Saving Money

By:


Drapery tiebacks are a nice supplement to traditional curtain holdbacks. They are extremely functional, and offer a wide range of styling and customization options. Their only drawback is their slight lack in durability and longevity that are found with most other high-grade holdbacks and chain tiebacks. However, if you are a creative person at heart, and like saving money, then you can have a great deal of fun creating your own tiebacks.

The premise of this concept comes from the simple incorporation of curtain tiebacks. There are only a couple of specifics that you need to know prior to beginning your project.

- Know your curtain material

- Measure the length and width of the curtain

- Determine the strength of material needed for tieback

These are fairly simple steps, but very important in determining the strength of the material in which your tieback will need to be in order to function properly and hold the curtains. Heavier, larger curtains will of course require slightly stronger material such as rope or chains; whereas smaller lighter curtains can be held back by various fabric based tiebacks.

After you have determined the strength of the material you will need to conduct your tieback creation; depending on the material needed, you can find most functional pieces at any minor hardware or crafts store. Tiebacks can be made from anything; among the most popular for average size curtains are the use of various fabrics that are measured and cut to certain specifications.

This allows for immense customization and creativity; giving you an open canvass of creation. Some people enjoy taking this material and sowing on different designs from corresponding fabrics to form a pattern, or simply twisting two or three different pieces of fabric together producing a multitude of color schemes.

In terms of heavy-duty curtains, small chains and different types of rope function extremely well; both can be found at craft stores. In all, going the route of creating your own tiebacks gives you the opportunity to get creative, produce the exact type of tieback you are looking for to meld with your pre-existing theme, as well as save money.
