renter friendly apartment hack for hanging curtains

[@Xtine728]

Might want to put a thin strip of painters tape down first (they sell them in different widths). That 3m adhesive can rip off your ceiling paint easily.

[@ShayChris_]

Thanks for this hack!

[@sosaductive1289]

Hi is it called painters tape ? Thanks

[@FasikaJessica-t2m]

Will the adhesion be limited by the tape?

[@Magique88888]

Will it still stick well?

[@jessicaripko]

That 3m stuff rips off paint and whatever else is underneath 🙈 I used a small amount of it to hang my daughters baby monitor and it jacked up the wall.

[@justRoRo]

You're supposed to apply heat prior to removing (blow dryer)

[@breakfastwithl9904]

Ty! Your short is the only one that I found that answered the biggest question I had..."how heavy can the curtains be?"

[@SpringVinMoto]

No. Can’t be removed without damaging the finish of the ceiling

[@Makeuploveculture]

Awesome! I need to hang blackout curtains without holes because I’ve been trying since yesterday to put anchors and screws I. The wall and nothing is working to hang these curtains

[@lyndseymc]

It’s far less damaging to drill a few tiny holes you can patch later than to rip off a strip of latex paint that will never stop peeling.

[@calebwhite6173]

But it’s into concrete…

[@barbara75214]

TRUTH!!!

[@barbara75214]

​@calebwhite6173 But if the concrete is painted, the rail will pull the paint layer off. You can drill into concrete, which is better than having to resurface the ceiling!

[@Chillinbarb]

Where did you get the curtains

[@jennifercook115]

How do the hooks attach to the curtains?

[@fortheladies771]

Isn’t it gonna damage your ceiling l?

[@risenshineofficial]

Lifesaverrr❤

[@danab3861]

Ikea had a similar double track for sheers and solid curtains.

[@richardb6170]

[@Cleaning_mind]

[@-r3in]

[@rasstylediary2402]

Where did you get the curtains ?

[@ParisPaidInFull]

I want to know as well! 😢

[@elizacharles9977]

They have some on shien, thank me later!!!

[@emhprmex9259]

She said Amazon, but in Shein and Temu are cheaper.

[@e.dnorth]

this wouldn't work for my apartment i have the weird popcorn ceiling stuff

[@HeavymetalHylian]

I have popcorn ceiling 💀

[@farhatali2763]

Amazing

[@dianebaker5243]

Going to give that go 👍

[@DARK_AMBIGUOUS]

I might try it but I don't want to damage the paint

[@kevinmontoya7318]

Should have drilled, they sell concrete bits. And you would just run a standard mount

[@kevinmontoya7318]

Or just standard concrete screws, in which you can hide after the fact with some filler

[@Faith_Soprano]

I'd say this is more of a hack for people with extremely hard ceilings than for renters. This absolutely will damage your ceiling. However, if you have a ceiling that's very, very hard and can't be drilled with a regular drill, this is still a good hack, but only if you own the house/apartment and aren't worried about damage.

Shelby, when you're standing on a ladder, miles in the air next to a glass window, NEVER lean back. 🎄🎅🏽

[@scp8412]

DO NOT do this if you rent, it will destroy your ceiling pain and might get charged for repairs. Looks great through :D

[@veliciawilliams1018]

Great find.

[@etryone4779]

This is for someone who doesn’t care about damaging the ceiling of a rental property

[@Yulisourcing]

👍

[@mariathelibra9389]

SCAM! READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE PURCHASING!

[@thewaltersshow609]

I want to see the curtains in-person. Please Shelby!!!!!!!

[@leahgolden7242]

[@JoyFay]
