NEW Grommet Tape
for Pole Draperies

Beautiful Sheer Grommet Top Draperies!
  • Sew on the tape.
  • Cut out fabric in back grommets (incorporated in the tape).
  • Snap on the front decorative rings (sold separately).
  • SAVE mountains of time.
  • Easy, No-Fail system!
  • Avoid the hours of installing individual grommets only to find headings sagging or the grommet pleats uneven. You'll be amazed at the difference!
  • There are no grommets to punch. The back grommets are incorporated in the tape.
  • No measuring, the grommets are spaced evenly.
  • No headings that sag. The tape is also a stiffener.
  • No unsightly squeezed folds. Sharp retaining spacers prevent folds from being squeezed.
  • Beautiful - Front, Snap on Rings (sold separately) come in 8 different finishes, 6 metal and 2 colors. 
  • Grommets are waterproof, rust proof, light weight, and washable!


  • Beautiful Blue Grommet Top Draperies! The Grommet Tape with the Back Grommet Rings incorporated in it, comes in Two Sizes that fit most popular drapery poles:
    • Large: 1-5/8" ID (Inside Diameter opening) Grommets in 3-1/8" width Tape, or
    • Small: 3/4" ID Grommets in 2-3/8" width Tape.
    The 100% Washable Poly Tape has the Back Grommet Rings built into it that are evenly spaced in the Tape at approximately 8 grommets per yard. Plastic spacers built into the back of the Grommet Tape System allows the finished Grommet Drapery Panel to form beautiful shape retaining folds on the front side.

    Front Decorative Rings are sold separately (see pricing below). They snap into the Grommets on the front side of the Tape. They come in 8 different finishes (see below). Their smooth plastic material does not scratch the paint or finish of your drapery hardware. They are Rust Proof because they are NOT metal, but a light-weight plastic that moves easier, and thus are washable.

    "I was amazed at the easy way this is used to make the Grommet look in the draperies I wanted. I have made them before with the individual grommets and boy, what a hassle! This tape takes all the hassle work out of it. I saved so much time and frustration. It was worth every penny I paid for it!"  S Zimmerman, Chicago IL



    Sew Grommet Tape (with back rings) onto the back top of your finished drapery panel.


    "By the way, the tape is wonderful! It makes up easy, and the curtains hang beautifully." D Roth, Marblehead MA

    Cut out fabric within the back grommet on the tape with scissors or small rotary cutter, or use optional Grommet Cutting Tool Set (see below).

    Snap on the front Decorative Rings to the front of the drapery panel by hand. This will help prevent fraying and will anchor the fabric securely, including delicate sheers.
