Equipment
- Window
Ingredients
- Pleater hooks
- Rivta curtains
- Curtain clips
Instructions
- Start at one end, directly to the left of the first set of tabs. Place the first pleater hook wire through the loop on the bottom row. Count five loops over on the same row and add another pleater hook wire.
- Repeat for the other two hook wires.
- Once all four hooks are in place, go to the row above and place the first hook directly above the bottom one in place.
- Count over five loops to make sure they are staying in the corresponding loop in the section above. Once all the hooks are in place, go to the section above and repeat the same process. This will be your last set.
- Push the pleater hook up as high as you can.Since I’m doing five pleats per panel, I skipped the next tab and started the process again directly to the left of the next tab.
- Add remaining four hooks.
Notes
- You can really only put the pleater hook in one row at a time. Once you have all the hooks done in the row, you can start hooking the row above.
