How to make curtains of threads with your own hands?
Before starting to work, you must first decide on the design of the future product, which will decorate the interior of your house.
You should take into account the thickness of the material from which you will make curtains, its structure and texture. Depending on where you will hang the curtain( window or opening), its shape will also depend.
If desired, you can even create a picture on the curtains, which will become an extraordinary element of your apartment and give it a twist.
Modern muslin can combine different colors. These can be contrasting combinations or more tranquil options.
You can combine colors not consistently, but make multi-layered curtains, when through one layer the thread looks through the second one. The layer of thread can be made of different lengths for greater clarity.
It is also possible to combine in one product threads of different texture or density. So do not just multilayered compositions, but lambrequins from the muslin.
These lambrequins can have a smooth edge or a decorative cutout, for example, asymmetric.
Often, thread curtains adorn lambrequins and from ordinary fabric, which also looks very unusual.
When you are determined what curtains you will be doing, you need to calculate the amount of material for work. First of all, it is necessary to determine at what distance the threads will be attached.
If you need a thick curtain on the window, then the threads are fastened densely, if it is a curtain on the opening, then it is better in that case to make it less often.
If you use thin threads, the distance between them will be approximately 2 to 5 mm. The length of the cornice should be divided by the distance between the threads and multiplied by the length of the product to the floor.
Now centimeters are translated into meters and get the right amount of skeins. It is better to count the threads with a margin, since then they can simply be cut at the bottom to the desired length.
