We chose a cabinet knob with a satin nickle finish, but you can choose knobs with a different look to fit your decor. Just follow the step-by-step instructions to make your own DIY curtain rod. Using a drill bit the same size as your knob screw, drill into the center of each end of the dowel rod. For the Mandara Knob, we used a 1/8 in. drill bit. Make sure the drill is exactly in the center, otherwise your knob will not be centered when you put it on. Apply a generous coat of paint in the direction of the wood grain, using a foam paint brush. Don’t forget to paint the ends that you just drilled! You might need to apply two or more coats, depending on how rich you would like the color. We painted two coats with Behr Peaceful Night to achieve our beautiful blue color. To minimize the paint from wearing when opening and closing our curtains, we sealed our painted dowel rod with Rustoleum 2x Flat Matte Clear Paint. Allow the paint to dry before moving on to the next step.

The knobs we used came with standard screws. However, we used hanger bolts instead of the included hardware. Using plyers, screw the pointed end of the hanger bolt into the knob, and then screw your knobs into each end of your dowel rod. Tip: When selecting your knob, be sure and look at the profile of the knob. Once the final product is hung, this will be the most dominant feature of your hardware. We chose the Mandara knob based on the unique square finial and soft hourglass square base. We used about four feet of wire for each end of the dowel rod. Loosen one of your knobs enough to fit the wire end underneath the knob. While holding the wire in place under the knob, re-tighten it so that the base is flush with the end of the dowel and the wire is secure. Wrap the wire around the base of the knob. When wrapping, we tried to cover up the base of the knob before wrapping the dowel because the knob was just slightly smaller than the diameter of the dowel rod.

Once you’re done wrapping the wire, tuck and wrap the loose end around one strand of the wire so that it doesn’t come free and unwind.sai arpan curtains Now that your dowel rod is finished, it’s time to hang your dowel rod and curtains!84 shower curtain hookless If you don’t already have curtain brackets, you can pick them up at your local Home Depot store.curtains kunda park66 in. - 120 in. top down / bottom up plisse shadesCurtain Rod Kit in Brushed Nickel with Crackle Glass Sphere Finialcurtain rod finials target

A friend lent me his Ryobi 18 volt impact driver in which they just got it to put together some shelves from ikea. IT ONLY HAD one bit that came with it to screw in the screws, so I'm not sure if that's where my problem lies.

If the bit was too big. Not what you were looking for ? Ugh it wouldnt let me post Trying again.  This are the exact rod. Frankly, unless you're experienced using an impact driver they generally have far too much power to drive small screws and it's very easy to strip the head of the screw or over drive them.  They're also not the right tool to put  together RTA furniture (e.g., Ikea furniture).  A cordless drill offers much better control in "delicate" situations.  Drywall has very little holding power alone so you must hit the wood structure behind the drywall.  The framing of a window looks like this:Ideally you want your screws to hit the "header" above the window but as you can see it only extends so far beyond the edges of the windows, typically about 3".  If you want to position your brackets beyond the header, then you need to use hollow wall anchors.  There are quite a few hollow wall anchors on the market today and your selection will be based on the weight of the curtain rod and draperies  My personal choice is the classic "Molly" bolt which expands behind the wall in kind of a star shape.
