I am keeping these, but I don't really need them as my curtains had inside loops that looked better when hung. Also my curtains are heavy and I don't know if these clips would hold them well if being used to open and shut. I had wooden blinds and my heavy drapes are more of a decorative feature - so they might work ok. I have other curtains I plan to hand that are thinner in a bedroom and I think these will work well with them which is why I decided to keep them.
