how does one close the curtains?

I'm not quite sure what you mean? But I'll take a stab at it.Look at your window, how wide is it? Take one curtain,pull in the curtain strings on the curtain tape, until you have half the window width, or just a little over. Tie the strings in a neat little bow at side and do the same with the other curtain.Make sure the gathering at the top is nice and even, put your curtain hooks on, and attach to track. Draw curtains closed when reqiured.
