Custom magnetic curtain tiebacks let a curtain brand or home-décor seller add a matching accessory to its range without designing hardware from scratch. The tieback holds the curtain open, and its decorative ends carry the look of the collection. This guide covers the main tieback styles, the details to decide, and how to plan an OEM order.
How a magnetic tieback works
A magnetic tieback is a cord, string of beads or ring with a magnet hidden in each end piece. It is wrapped around the gathered curtain and the two ends snap together. There are no hooks to fix and no holes to drill, and the tieback can be moved up or down in seconds.
Common tieback styles
- Cord with ball ends. A twisted or braided cord with round ends, often in colors matched to the curtain.
- Cord with decorative ends. Marble-effect, square or other shaped ends for a more distinctive look.
- Pearl tiebacks. Strings of pearls with small magnetic clasps, used for sheers and lighter curtains.
- Wooden rings. A ring that opens at the joint and closes with magnets, for natural and minimalist interiors.

What to decide for custom magnetic curtain tiebacks
- Style. Cord, pearl or ring, and the shape of the end pieces.
- Color. Cord color and end-piece finish, matched to your curtain collection.
- Length. Longer tiebacks suit heavier or wider curtains; shorter ones suit sheers. Measure the gathered curtain you plan to sell them with.
- Holding. The ends must stay closed around the curtain. Test samples with your heaviest curtain.
- Packaging. Single or pair packs, retail bags or boxes, and your label.
- Quantity and timing. Standard styles in standard colors have no minimum order; custom colors, finishes and packaging are quoted per project.
Tiebacks and closures together
Many curtain ranges need both: tiebacks to hold the curtain open in the day, and closure magnets to keep the panels together at night. Offering both as a set gives the customer a complete solution. Our push-pin e clip-on curtain magnets close the light gap, and the tiebacks handle the open position.
Sampling and approval
Ask for samples of two or three styles, fit them to your curtains, and check how they look and hold. Approve the color against a physical sample, not only a photo, and keep one approved sample as the reference for production.
