Measure the length of your curtains and allow between 5 and 15 cm for the hem at the bottom, depending on the length of your curtain and the thickness of the material used.
Hem the side and bottom hems of your curtains or use double-sided adhesive hemming tape.
Hang eyelet curtains straight onto your curtain rod or pole. If using this with header tape, gather the header tape evenly to the width of your window and place hooks at regular intervals to fasten on to the track or rod.
