How to Use a Tassel Tieback

A tassel tieback is cable or braided trim that hooks into a window frame in which it could be looped to pull it back decoratively. One facet of the cable ends at a fancy tassel, while the other side ends at a loop that slips allowing the cable to encircle the curtain that is accumulated and hold it in place. Tassel tiebacks metallic floss or fabrics complement silk, damask, velvet or brocade drapes in an official room. More quirky materials, such as twine and burlap, are acceptable for casual curtains and rooms.

Hang drapes or the curtains then experiment with pulling them back to see where to grab them up to create a frame around the window that is open. Mark the place on one side of the window frame.

Measure the distance from the ground to the place you marked on one side of wall socket or the window frame. Mark exactly the same height on the side of the window.

Screw a open cup hook into every mark. If the hook is being screwed by you into the wall, attempt to do it in the wall stud to get extra security. Screw it into the side of the framework where the hole will be noticeable if you eliminate the tieback, if attaching the hook into the window frame.

A loop of a little or the braid attached metal or fabric loop on the tieback. So the weight of the curtain will pull from its curve the hook must face away from the window. The tieback attaches to the hook in approximately the midpoint; the looped end is at nearest or the back to the window. The tasseled end can be found in the front or farthest.

Collect the curtain loosely and wrap the loop-end of the tieback about the tassel-end about it and it one way the other way. Slip the loop on the tassel, arranging it to break on top of the tassel. Adjust the drape and the tassel and do exactly the same for the curtain.
