Curtain Rods for Dummies, Part IV - Wands

twisted curtain wand with a ring

Curtain rod wands, also called drapery wands or batons, are used to move curtains along a curtain rod.  They can attach to the curtain rod by a curtain rod ring or hook to a ring.  They come in different lengths, styles and finishes.

Made of Metal offers a round wand or a twisted wand with a hook or a ring.  They are finished to your choice or to match the rest of your curtain rod order.

What length of drapery wand should you purchase?  Our recommendation is for the wand to end around your shoulder (or the shoulder of the shortest person in your house that's going to using it).  So measure from the top of the curtain rod to your shoulder and round up to the nearest foot.
