I found an extra package of clips at Michaels (Recollections Hanging Clips).

I liked the hanging fabric a lot, but the weight of the fabric became an issue with even a small metal rod. I'm always on the hunt for better and less expensive. I ordered some cheaper hanging clips. In the photo of the clips & fabric the upper one is the Recollections and the bottom one was the cheaper. The cheaper are just that - cheaper. They are flimsy and hard to work with.

So then, I read in a blog where a lady went to her local Lowes Hardware Store and purchased metal conduit covering pole and used it to hang her curtains. To make a long story short, I purchased a long pole for under $2. My husband cut it the length I needed and we hung them on the wall. I found some clip rings in the curtain/drapes dept. of my local Wal-Mart (Mainstays brushed nickel finish). Two packages of 7 cost about $9. The clips are stronger, so you can clip 2-3 pieces. The pole is super sturdy, so no bending and it's all inexpensive.
Hope this helps & sorry for the belated response!
