    Hi, as the title says,where is it possible to buy these in or around Dublin please?
    I have curtains that dont hang right and I am looking for these to put in the 4 corners to give them a nice clean straight edge.
    If anyone has any ideas who sells them I'd appreciate it!

    Thanks

    A few years ago I got some in Hickey's fabric shop curtain section in Henry Street, Dublin 1.
    You could also try Duffy's in North Earl Street or WM Trimmings in Capel Street.
    Maybe give them a ring first to check.

    Online, everything is sold online. Tried Amazon? Tried actual pennies?

    Could you use some of the weights that anglers put on their lines? Are they called sinkers?

    An alternative to the penny weights is to get a piece of lead, cut into squares & cover with lining fabric.. then insert into the corners of the curtains.
