Hanging curtains

I've never had to do this before and I can't even seem to find out from google!

Have pencil pleat curtains I want to hang from a pole.

What do I need to buy to attach it? Rings and something to clip the rings into?

So confused.

Our curtains are on a pole. We have rings with little bits hanging off them that you attach the curtain hooks to.

Like these.

Ah I get it, so they go in standard hooks.

Thanks Thanks

Ensure the outside threads are either sewn into the tape or if nor knot them. Get someone to hold one end whilst you pull the 3 cords and at the same time push the fabric to form the pencil pleats, . When you have got to just over the desired length ( half the length of the wall joints of the pole, wrap the cords around you fingers and secure buy wrapping the cords over the loop to secure. Count the number of rings you have and then work out how to space the hooks. For example 40 pencils pleats and 10 rings, secure a hook ever 4th pleat.
