Hello,

Does anyone know where I can purchase these grips that go on the end of the shock cord holding back the curtains? It has lost its tension and I want to renew. However, I cannot find these pesky things anywhere.

Thanks.

Google cord crimp tubes. There are quite a lot to choose from but you might need a crimping pliers to fix. Good lick

You don't see the ends so there is a simple solution and adjustable if needs be.

The tiniest nylon cable ties will do the job too. White ones, obvs.

The metal of these crimps is quite soft. If you want to preserve the original appearance of the cords it’s easy to prise the crimp open and reuse it with new elastics, gently nipping it closed again with a pair of pliers.
