How do I Add Cardboard to a Pocket Curtain Rod?
- 1). Measure the width and height of the pocket opening in your pocket curtain.
- 2). Cut a long strip of heavy cardboard, 1/4-inch smaller than both the height and width measurement. If your height is 2 inches, cut the cardboard to 1 3/4 inches.
- 3). Lay the cardboard strip flat and with the curtain rod on top of it, parallel to it.
- 4). Tape the curtain rod in place at both ends and in the middle.
- 5). Slide the cardboard covered curtain rod into the pocket opening at the top of the curtain.
- 6). Hang the curtain rod the same way you would hang it without the cardboard insert. Follow the manufacturer's directions.
