Question:

How do you tie back curtains without a wall to screw into?

I have a front room that is more like a three seasons room and it has windows across three of the walls with no break in between. I have sheers on the outside and chocolate brown on the inside for privacy. In the warmer months Id like to tie back the curtains to allow more light in but there isnt a place I can screw traditional tie backs into? I need more of a free hanging tie back, looking for ideas because I can figure out how to make it.

Answer:

How about one of those sucker-type bathroom hooks? They're a lot better these days and come in a variety of styles - a towel-ring for example, could be adapted to stick to the window at the side.
You could use a light weight band or cord, and just pin it to the back of your curtain. You'll then have the curtain gathering in the center of the window.
Sew a small round plastic circle or curtain ring fairly high up on the outside edge of each panel. Then you can get a piece of rope with tassels or a decorative end-piece to loop through the little circle and tie off around the curtain.
Tie Back Curtains Without Hooks
here are 3 methods you can use all are inexpensive solutions . 1 as you have continues windows make up some tie backs that will fit like this right end and middle end tie together. middle end right and right window tie together . then the right end and the left end single curtains a single tie back each with a string attached then allow it to be a hooked on to the stop ends so effectively you have one curtain then two then two again then one. hope you can understand what i am saying there . 2/ get some stick on hooks and the use your tie backs the traditional way. 3/ putting stop ends on the ends of each pair of curtains on the rail but behind the last runner using some string attach to the tie back and the stop end you can decide how long the string is so it gives you a pulled back drape effect . sorry if this sounds complicated but its really not i have done this myself very effectively
