I have been so sick and tired of never being able to easily open\/close the curtains that go across our rather large windows because the rings get \u00a0hung up on those telescoping rod humps. I searched all over Pinterest and the web to find a solution. I found two: 1) I could make my hubby cut out all new custom length rods (not going to happen) or 2) try this special teflon tape<\/a>. While the tape has gotten pretty good reviews and would probably be a better option for wooden rods, I just couldn’t wait any longer so I thought I’d give regular ol’ tape a try on our metal rods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Clean curtain rod so it’s free of dirt\/dust (that took the longest part for me, ha!)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Get out some good sticking clear packing tape.<\/li>\n
  3. Wrap it securely but *lightly* around the section with the hump – meaning, you want the tape to stay, but you don’t want to press it into the hump…use it to make a “ramp” over the hump.<\/li>\n
  4. Open and close your curtains ’til your heart’s content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I don’t know how long this will last, but for now, I am one happy camper being able to use my curtains they way they were intended!!! You’re welcome \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
