    with hooks like these

    you put it into the curtain by sliding the pointy end upwards through the back the tape, then flip it over so the fat end is at the top. You then put the pointy bit through the hole in the bottom of the curtain rings. Normally best to use the top row on the back of the tape if hanging from a pole.

    Doh! Of course! My mind had gone completely blank and I just couldn't visualise how they would attatch as they were :o:rotfl:

    Thank you for that, just rang up OH and told him to get some of those hooks (along with the curtain poles)! :)

    ..Here's mine...... The plastic curtain hooks which u need to buy go on the white heading tape which then sit in the small holes of the metal rings that you can see in your picture.The white plastic curtain hooks are hidden by the top of the curtain,,hope this helps...

    ..Also as you can see i have used 14 white curtain plastic hooks that correspond to the metal loops...You may have more metal loops than me on each curtain so you need the same amount of nylon curtain hooks to attatch to those loops ,,you may have 20 or so it depends on the width or curtain how many you need......
