Drapery rings work by connecting the curtain to the curtain rod, allowing it to be easily opened and closed. They achieve this connection through a combination of the ring itself and drapery pins.
Understanding Drapery Rings
Here's a breakdown of how standard drapery rings function:
- Ring Design: Most drapery rings are full circles.
- Eyelet: They feature a small metal loop at the bottom, also known as an eye or eyelet.
- Drapery Pins: These rings are used with drapery pins, which have a sharp end.
- Attachment: The sharp end of the drapery pin is inserted into the top hem or pleat of the drapery.
- Connection: The drapery pin is then hooked onto the metal loop (eyelet) on the curtain ring.
In essence, the drapery rings slide along the curtain rod, carrying the curtains with them, thanks to the secure connection established by the drapery pins.
