Question

How do I keep the scarf from falling off rod?

Gavin Donnelly

Community Answer

You can pin the back part and the front part together, or loop it around the rod to hold it in place. You can also tie knots at the corners.

You can install scarf hooks that protrude out past the vertical blind so that you can hang a scarf in front of it.

Question

How do I hang a scarf over curtains

Gavin Donnelly

Community Answer

The best way would be to install scarf hooks above the window frame and the curtain rod, just make sure they stick out far enough that you can drape the scarf in front of the existing curtains.

Question

How do I measure how much curtain material I will need?

Community Answer

Measure the length of all of your windows, multiply by three, or more, depending on how full you wish the look to be. You can also get very creative with how long you want the curtains or drapes to be. They can pool on the floor or have a more finished, trim look.

Question

How do I drape two window scarves over three windows?

Californiaproud

Community Answer

Try putting the scarves together lengthwise, attach them, then fold in half and cut. Drape each side equally over the windows by either draping over existing rods, or, buy new rods and hang just above the existing rods to create a curtain effect.

Question

I have to cover Traverse rods, this is just temporary. How is the best way to cover these rods.

Gavin Donnelly

Community Answer

Try to drape a window scarf from the corner of each rod and let it hand down naturally. You can tie the corners on to secure it in place.

Question

What type of hooks work best when hanging the window scarves?

Community Answer

I found that using the hooks that can be purchased for bathrooms, to hang on walls for towels, robes etc. worked great, especially because some are actually 2 hooks on one piece, which is really handy.
