I need an easy CHEAP way to drape sheer curtains over a set of 3 windows which are already covered by blinds. Its just to beautify them since its in a small sunroom. I'd love to do it without rods, maybe using inexpensive FINIALS. I found sheers for $5 each & don't want to spend more. Pinterest just doesn't have answers, probably bc I'm being so cheap haha! THANKS everyone!

These three windows are very close together, and this picture turned out really dark. Sorry! 😎

    The finials can be put on the ends and in the middle above your windows and curtains draped over. Another idea is to space finials over the windows, use clamp curtain rods to hold sheers and enjoy.

    I used large command wall hooks in my dining room to hange sheer curtains! When I was younger, I cut out a wood piece to hang them on. I used soft pine board, jig saw, graphite paper to trace the pattern and something in your house that could resemble it or draw your own! The dollar stores may have a curtain holder. Some stores have different things used for tie backs! Good luck!

    Drapery finials are end pieces that either screw into or on to the ends of the rods to keep the fabric from slipping off the end. Finials are too small and the circumference does not project enough to allow wrapping fabric around so that it holds in place.

    If you are wanting to install sheers that are static (do not open and close entirely) panels or swags, then what you want in way of hardware is drapery medallions, rosettes or swag brackets. These pieces come in a variety of styles , but as they are designed for very specific purposes, to purchase new, they are not inexpensive.


    The first picture below shows drapery rod finials. The second, shell medallions, the third, rosettes, and the forth, swag loop brackets.
