Curtain Screw Eyes

Screw Eyes For Roman Shades, Blinds and Cording.

If you’re looking for a small bit of hardware to hold shade cords in place, screw eyes might be just what you need. Screw eyes consist of a small threaded screw with a closed loop at one end. Designed to attach cording to wooden surfaces, these light-duty screws feature a securely closed loop that keeps cording in place. In drapery making, they’re most commonly used in the construction of blinds and shades, such as Roman, Austrian or balloon shades. Screw eyes are inserted into the shade mounting board or batten and the pull cording is threaded through the eyes to neatly and securely guide the cords to the cord lock. If you’re constructing custom Roman Shades, screw eyes are one of the drapery notions you’ll need—find them here to cross them off the list!
