Little tools can make a big difference sometimes. Today I have an appointment to install some drapery wands on some draperies I installed last week. We installed drapery panels in two rooms, all on square rods with grommets in the drapery panels. My client and I agreed that all but the non-functioning panels should get drapery wands to minimize the handling of the fabric when drawing open and closed. As it turns out one week into suing her new draperies, she decided she wants to draw the one window because – heck, now she can! So off I go today to install two more wands. These little wizards can really improve the functionality of drapery panels and at the same time save the fabric from excess wear. I think wands are a MUST with grommet draperies because grommets tend to get a bit sticky on the rod. By applying push/pull action from the top of the panel, drapery wands help drapery panels on grommets or rings travel smoothly. Try it and let me know what you think!
