Curtain pleat toilet roll hack
If you are like us and have eyelet or tab top curtains then you need to give this curtain pleat hack a go to get them hanging perfectly! I was so dubious that it would even work but it’s like magic. I have told so many people about the hack and everyone is amazed by it too, not only that but it takes seconds and is super easy.
What is the Curtain pleat hack?
In essence just pop a toilet roll tube behind every other pleat on the curtain pole (so it can’t be seen as it’s behind the curtain material)
You can cut the toilet rolls to size if you need to, or even try other things like plumbing insulation foam around the pole. It makes such a difference by giving a fullness to the section tops, as you can see below.
It works on all materials too, we put it into practice on our bedroom curtains when we did our bedroom makeover.

Now that is such a clever idea, I am now looking at my curtains and wondering if I could do it with mine.

This is such a clever idea – i will certainly be trying this (I bet the kids will actually throw the cardboard rolls away now I actually need them)

This might sound stupid but do the rolls not fall out when your opening and closing your curtains
Readyfreddiego
Nope, they stay in line and in place on the pole xxx

Can you open the curtains well? I love the light in during the day. But oh so tired of the ugly messy look when closed at nights. I love this idea. So much simpler than my thoughts. Just how does it look open?

I love this but how do you stop the rolls from moving and showing when you open them

Good afternoon. To be honest, I am surprised at this idea with toilet paper rolls, unexpectedly, but efficiently. Thank.
