Have looked for similar to no avail, so am at this point 'n time am actually contemplating on making my own out of electrical conduit. As my curtain heading will be using eyelet rings with two single hooks (to create a wave style); a half decent projection is also required which these appear to have.

I tried to google them, them but maybe they aren't being made? I did find many metal ones for you.Unfortunately I changed drapes/hardware some years ago, so can’t remember exactly how my husband mounted them- but the mount really was not visible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-87826070127393990392013-06-26T09:56:27.385-04:002013-06-26T09:56:27.385-04:00This is all so beautiful.

Easy peasy sewing.. coincidentally, my new set of drapes for the upstairs hall was delivered on Friday, but they made me cry.. <br />The seamstress cut them an inch too short, didn’t use a blind stitch anywhere on the curtain, and didn’t even bother cutting the selvedges off!<br />Why didn’t I sew them myself??? Because I wanted goblet pleats and was afraid to tackle them with this very expensive yardage..<br />She rocks at slipcovers, but clearly not at drapes.And they were so expensive..I wound up sewing trim along the front edge, and luckily, the bottom is hidden behind the sofa.<br />That’s when I wished I had a ‘Betsy’ friend to give her hell. <br />DoloresAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-52564420617316100742013-06-25T16:03:16.017-04:002013-06-25T16:03:16.017-04:00Gorgeous!
