{mallie} in order to install the drapes, youwill need three simple items: 1. a drill, preferable with a hex gun drillhead tip 2. a philips screwdriver3. a tape measure {steve} i have asked our co-designer mallieto go ahead and show you how easy it is to put these up. so we are going to start withour very first bracket which is called the bottom bracket of the scroll which is mountedfrom 4 to 6 inches away from the top corner of the window. now that we have mounted the bottom bracketof the scroll, we are now going to go ahead and mount the top bracket of the scroll whichis located 10 inches above the window in an
angled position. the brackets are usually mounted 48 inches abovethe floor. {mallie} our patented wire design allows easyinstallation of our exquisite diy drapery panels. to begin, simply remove the nuts onthe back of the scroll and pull out the wire. our exquisite ready to install drapes comewith a pocket already sewn in. so all you have to do is simply slide the wire throughand gather the drapery fabric to the top of the wire. so now that i’ve got the drape on to mypatented drapery hardware wire, i’m going
to place it on the back of the scroll andtake the nuts that i removed from before and screw them back on and tighten them into place. the next step is to take your bracket andyour philips screwdriver and loosen the screw so that the extension screw comes out. thenplace it onto the back of the drapery scroll and tighten it then do the same with the otherone. ok, so now i have put everything onto theback of the scroll and mounted all of the screws. this is what it looks like when itis done and the drapery fabric is attached and it looks great. you might want to go aheadand adjust it a little bit so it looks nice and even and this is ready to be put up.
so now i’m ready to go ahead and mount thedrapery hardware scroll onto the brackets. i left the brackets a little loose and i willgo ahead and tighten them later. you now just go ahead and take them and slip them intothe brackets and push it back. and it’s is simple as that. so now my drapes are up and i’m going togo ahead and create a drop. i will show you how to do that. you simply grab each pleatwith your hand and move your hand upward. then you take the fabric and place it behindthe drapery holdback. now you are going to want to organize it a little bit so it looksin order. and that will create an amazing drop for the curtains.
