Using these curtain tiebacks is super easy. You can either directly tie them onto your curtains or use hooks for a more secure attachment. They're great for medium - thick, thin, and string curtains. When using them as door or wall hangers, just find a suitable place to hang. As for maintenance, gently dust them regularly to keep them clean. Since the color might be a bit different from the picture due to lighting, don't be surprised if you notice a slight variation. That's just normal and doesn't affect the beauty of these tiebacks.
