Dritz 12ct Home Covered Lead Drapery Weights: Weighted Drapes & Curtain Embellishments for Weighting Curtains

It’s inexplicable why lead, a powerful neurotoxin, is used in these weights when all is needed is, any weight. I thought the lead was figurative, as in a ‘lead’ pencil which is graphite. Zinc or steel (or many other materials) are more than adequate and safe for these weights. There is no safe level of lead in the human body and handling the weights, which are not sealed or children playing with curtains (something I did when small) are inexcusable exposures. And surely these weights end up in the landfill when the curtains are disposed, where lead will seep into our groundwater.

The weight is a rectangle about the size of a quarter, pouched in a thin fabric that can be easily sewn or pinned to the drape, or dropped in the hem. These could also be used in a dress hem to help it lay to your preference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dritz Lead Drapery Weights work great on my curtain projects. I haven't progressed to dresses and other draperies, so I use these to help keep sewn curtains straight. The set includes 12 sewing tab covered drapery lead weights that can be used to weigh down curtains and reduce flaring at hems and side seams. You just simply hand tack these drapery lead weights to the inside of hems and seams. Really easy to use and very helpful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These drapery weights worked perfectly, and getting my drapes to hang properly. Without them, the drapes would not leave straight and wanted to fold under at the bottom these very quickly fix the problem in or not noticeable in the drapes. It was very easy to sell them in place and they are absolutely not noticeable now that they are in place. I don’t do a ton of sewing, so these were very easy for me to put in place with minimal effort. I highly recommend to give your drapery the finished look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these after I wash and drying my draperies!! I am horrible at using an iron. So I steam everything. I add them to the bottom after I hang them up and go crazy steaming. By the time I'm done the weight helps pull out all the wrinkles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these Lead Drapery Weights for my honest review. First off, they are small in size, but have a nice weight to them to hold drapes down in place. They are easy to put inside the drapes, and work well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The weights are made of high-quality lead material, which adds the perfect amount of weight to the bottom hem of the drapery. This weight ensures that the curtains hang straight and prevents them from billowing or flying around due to drafts or air movement. It helps achieve a neat and tailored appearance. Installation is a breeze with these drapery weights. They can be easily sewn into the hem of the curtains, providing a discreet and secure attachment. The small size of the weights allows them to blend seamlessly with various fabric types and colors.
