Through the holes gently put a string in the top of the curtains, his tie a solid knot and fixed with double-sided tape. The tape should be stuck over the entire width of the leaf: thus the curtain will be fixed to the frame or in the window opening.

In this case you will need another piece of ribbon or cord for the blinds. Through the holes put a string, output end on the front side, the canvas blinds spread. The lower ends of the cord are supplied with clamps. Lifting the curtains just enough to pull the latch up to close the window – the latch is lowered on the cord down.
