Don’t Throw Away Leftovers
You ordered 12 feet of track, but only needed to use 10 feet. You don't want to throw away extra track, so what do you do? Rest assured, you are not alone. Many of our curtain tracks come in pre-set length that you have to cut to fit your space, producing leftovers.
A lot of our customers find out that they have leftovers and contact us or consult our website for how to return the extra track. Unfortunately, we can't accept returns on these remnant sections of curtain track. Many customers then discover there are many uses for our curtain tracks beyond just hanging curtains. They are great to help organize your home or office.
With a little creativity, you, too, can find other uses for your leftover track, to make your purchase more economical.
Other Uses for Scrap Track:
- Hang your keys from a small cutoff piece of track.
- Install a piece of track over the door for hanging Christmas lights or swags.
- De-clutter your closet by hanging belts from a 2-foot track length hung in your closet.
- Two pieces of channel-to-channel track, spaced accordingly, can be used to hang wine glasses from their bases under a cabinet in your kitchen.
- Use tracks and hooks under a shelf to hang coffee mugs to free counter space in your kitchen
- Decorating under a ledge or bar is easy with leftover track and hooks.
- Place a 6-inch length of track upside down on a desk to create a business card rack.
ACCESSORIES Don't forget about extra accessories. Our hooks and clips also have dual purposes. Don't return unused carriers. They can be paired with extra curtain track for any of the uses above.
- If you have extra 7142 use them with bulldog clips (7115) to hang material from a piece of track. These can be used to hang holiday lights or swags inside.
