Abstract

A curtain closure device for securing a pair of curtains in a closed and secure position. The curtain closure device includes a clip having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side can secure to a first curtain and the second side can simultaneously secure to a second curtain. Each side of the clip includes a pressure member having a pair of slots substantially parallel to one another and an opening disposed along a respective side of the clip to receive an edge of the respective curtain therein. The pressure members can apply a force towards a cross member of the clip to retain the curtains in a secured position. In some embodiments, the clip is transparent to prevent obstruction of the design of the curtain.
