The scoop
Posting on TikTok, Brittany (@naturallybritty) shared a DIY tutorial for upgrading your home curtains, giving them a more grand appearance.

In the tutorial, Brittany shows you how to use toilet rolls to give your curtains a more luxurious look by using them in between the curtain eyelets to keep the fabric more spaced out.
All you need to do is take the curtains down and thread the rolls onto the curtain pole in between the eyelets and behind the fabric so that they can't be seen once the curtains are hung. This simple trick stops the curtains from bunching together and gives a more grand appearance to any window.
