I’ve put together my best tips for applying tape trim to these Amazon curtain panels! I did another pair of these last summer and after being so impressed by the outcome knew I’d be doing a second pair for our guest bedroom.
This pair of panels is $70 on Amazon and they have a pinch pleat header, the pleats are already well trained, they come with drapery pins, they’re blackout, and they even have a weight at the bottom to make sure they hang nicely! You can get them in multiple colors and lengths, but this pair is “white” and the ones in our bedroom are “natural.”
I ordered my trim from Etsy and have linked a collection of favorite trims in my stories (also on my LTK AND YOU CAN FIND ME BY SEARCHING “prepinyourstep”) if picking out trim seems overwhelming! Keep in mind that a wider trim may make it trickier to adhere to the pinch pleat but will make more of a statement. I wouldn’t choose anything wider than 3.5” and tend to base the curtain color on the background color of the trim to make them feel more cohesive and professional!
We use these with curtain rings and French return rods which I ordered from Amazon and have linked on my Amazon storefront.
Let me know any questions you have and be sure to send me a picture if you decide to try this method for adding trim to your curtains!
