Hi Katrina! I just used velcro command strips and attached one side to the part of the bracket, the screw goes through (there was overhang of the command strip, you can trim it!) and attach the other side directly to the wall. My daughters curtains have been hung like this for a year now. I’d say that is success. 😉 Good luck!
My daughter’s 1st birthday is coming up and I want to hang curtains for the back of the cake table (like a backdrop). Im renting a place so I can’t make holes but I also wanted to hang 2 picture frames over the curtains (haven’t purchased them yet) but they are made from hard plastic and it says it weighs 3 pounds. Do you think these velcro strips will hold?
Hi Alba. I would use hooks like these with a cafe (light weight) rod. Instead of hanging plastic frames from the rod, use extra command hooks (hidden behind curtain) for extra stability. Good luck!
I am moving to an independent living apartment next year and they have those long blinds on the sliding doors and she told me I could not put curtains over them. But I am going to try your no holes and put my shears up over them. I don’t understand why they say that. Betty
Good luck Betty!! I prefer hanging curtains higher and wider than those long blinds but if that doesn’t work, check out these brackets on amazon (affiliate link). They seem pretty cool! http://amzn.to/2vSznFa
As a traveling chef, every move required different rules and styles, so design began as a difficulty, and ended up an adventure. My simple solution to hanging curtain rods, make a loop out of appropriate ribbon or fabric, use push pins or upholstery Brads (very tiny pinholes) slip ends of rods into spaced loops. Easy up, easy down, sturdy support. Decorative.
You are a magician. Do your children go to a Japanese school? Are they learning Japanese? Hope so. It is 22 degrees here this morning. Brrrr.
I’m just happy I figured out a way around “no holes”. Now I have to display our pictures with no holes. Miss you!
How did you attach the curtain brackets to the command strips? That’s such a great idea!

I have the right bracket for the vertical blinds
Great!
