My wife looked everywhere for curtain weights but couldn't find any that weighed. I stumbled upon these hoop weights while looking for something different and immediately thought they would make great curtain weights. They do! They are supplied on lanes with 8 or 10 weights per lane. You can either glue the entire strip onto the curtain or cut it to the thickness you want. You can get them from 1/4 oz. up to 1 ounce. per weight giving you as much pulling power as you need to straighten your curtains. Love her!
