Measure the length of the curtain rod in place on the curtain rod holders to give you an accurate measurement of the area the curtains need to cover.

Take that measurement and divide it by eight. This is the minimum number of rings you want to use to hang the curtain. You can also take the length measurement and divide it by four to get the maximum number of rings you will need. The general rule is to place a ring every four to eight inches.

Determine the weight of the curtains. The weight of the fabric will play a factor in how many rings you need. The heavier the fabric, the more rings you should use. If the fabric is light, use fewer rings.
