What Is Curtain Tape and How Does It Work?

It is a special type of fabric tape to make DIY curtains. Most fabric tape is made from cotton, though some include a polyester blend. This fabric tape is often referred to as curtain lining tape as it fits atop the curtain fabric and is sewn into place. Each tape will have loops or pockets that help attach the curtain fabric to a rod – or any type of curtain hanging system above.

As the tape is sewn across the top edge of the curtain fabric, it helps to cover up any unsightly seams while maintaining a practical feature. Combining your tape with curtain eyelets or hooks brings the whole thing together. This special fabric tape also helps the curtain fabric bunch up and gather in a neat pleat when they’re opened and kept to the side. It’s what helps your DIY curtains look more professional and well-cut!

Types Of Curtain Headers

Just as there are different types of curtain fabrics, there are various tapes available. Each has something unique about it and they’re available in different materials.

Pencil Pleat Tape For Curtains

If you prefer to give your curtains a cutting-edge look. Then we recommend bunching the drape material and hems in a circular pattern. With our pencil pleat tape. A pencil pleat looks best on curtains in a long length down to the floor. They are special tape and cords to pull the fabric into cylindrical shapes. It looks like a row of pencils, hence the name.

Ideally, you don’t want your curtains to be overshadowed by the tape. You need something that blends into the lining and doesn’t take up much space. Our 3″ curtain tape is capable of providing an even pleat across all curtain weights. This subtle tape blends into your curtains while taking their design to the next level.

Eyelets for Curtains

Eyelets offer a modern touch to your curtains and are ideal for contemporary homes. These metal rings are slid onto your curtain pole and come in various finishes, such as silver, chrome, or brass, to complement your décor. Once installed, your curtains will display soft, uniform pleats.

For a professional look, eyelets are typically reinforced with buckram to add stiffness. If you’re crafting the curtains on your own, you can purchase a kit that includes special heading tape and either metal or plastic rings. It’s important to note that eyelets are compatible only with curtain poles and are not suitable for bay windows or for use with valances or pelmets.

Wave for Curtains

Wave headings require a specialised pole or track and are perfect for modern homes. This elegant style creates a gentle, rippling effect and is particularly striking in rooms with large glass walls or expansive windows. The design allows the curtains to stack back neatly, maximising natural light entry. Additionally, this tape is versatile, working well in spaces like sliding doors or taller windows to enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
