Leveling drapery rods
To make sure long drapery rods are level I made a flexible water level with 1/2-in. clear plastic tubing filled with water and food coloring. Cap the ends with corks and fix one end at the desired height for a bracket and the other will register the same. Hold them together, and mark both high water marks. Then move to the location of the second bracket adjusting until it's equal again.
