The Curtain Shim: More Than Just a Curtain Holder
The Curtain Shim is engineered to fit seamlessly between your window frame and blinds, allowing you to hang curtains with ease. However, its potential doesn’t stop there. Here are some alternative uses for The Curtain Shim:
Tapestries: Transform your wall decor by using The Curtain Shim to hang beautiful tapestries. Simply slide the shim between the frame and the tapestry to create a stunning focal point in your room.

Fairy Lights: Create a magical atmosphere by hanging fairy lights. The Curtain Shim can hold the lights in place, allowing you to outline windows or create whimsical designs around your home.

Drying Herbs: If you enjoy cooking with fresh herbs, use The Curtain Shim to hang bundles of herbs for drying. This not only saves space but also adds a rustic charm to your kitchen.
The Plant Shim: Elevate Your Green Space
The Plant Shim is designed to securely hold your indoor plants, making it easy to display them in any room. But just like The Curtain Shim (but can hold items up to 8 lbs), it offers a range of creative applications:
Hanging Artwork: Use The Plant Shim to hang lightweight artwork or framed photos. This allows you to create an art gallery feel without the need for nails or damaging your walls.

Seasonal Decorations: Whether it’s festive ornaments during the holidays or seasonal wreaths, The Plant Shim can help you easily swap out decorations throughout the year.
Organizing Tools: If you have a small workspace, use The Plant Shim to hang tools or supplies. This keeps your area tidy and ensures that everything is within reach.
