What you’ll need:
- Scissors
- Needle and thread
- Replacement cord
- Curtain track or rod
Step 1: Remove the old cord
Start by removing the curtain from the track or rod. Carefully untie or cut the knots securing the old cord to the curtain. Gently pull the cord out of the curtain, making sure to unwind it from any hooks or pulleys along the way.
Step 2: Measure and cut the new cord
Take the old cord and measure its length to determine the length of the replacement cord. Add a few extra inches for good measure. Use your scissors to cut the new cord to the desired length.
Step 3: Thread the new cord
Thread one end of the new cord through the first eyelet or loop on the curtain. Use the needle and thread to secure the end of the cord to the curtain, ensuring it won’t slip out. Thread the cord through each subsequent eyelet or loop until you reach the last one.
Step 4: Attach the cord to the track or rod
Once the cord is securely attached to the curtain, reattach the curtain to the track or rod. Make sure the cord is aligned properly with any pulleys or hooks. Carefully pull the cord to ensure smooth movement of the curtain along the track or rod.
Step 5: Secure the cord
Finally, tie a secure knot at the end of the cord to prevent it from slipping back through the eyelets or loops. Trim any excess cord if necessary.
