Material requirements

The most important point when creating curtains for a bath is the right material choice. It is subject to rather strict requirements:

  • it must be waterproof ( and even better - water repellent).After all, the curtain is installed in the immediate vicinity of the bath and is designed to protect the floor, walls and furniture in the bathroom from water droplets.
  • should be undemanding in care. The bath curtain is in constant contact with water, soap and other cosmetic products, so it inevitably creates stains. Therefore, the material should be chosen so that it well tolerates regular cleaning using a variety of detergents.
  • should be such that you can work with it yourself, using the tools and appliances that you have at home( for example, you can sew fabric blinds at home, but for working with glass you will need professional equipment).

screen

Curtain made of waterproof fabric can not only be a story on the ledge and partition off her bath, but also use it as a screen under the bath.

Pros

This product will have a lot of advantages:

  • Curtains will cost you much less than plastic, and even more so, plasterboard or glass screen for a bath. If you are limited in means, it is better to buy a piece of quality waterproof cloth of beautiful coloring than to be satisfied with a faded plastic partition.
  • Hanging the curtain under the tub will not be difficult even for those who do not have the slightest experience in repair. While to install the screen you may need the help of a professional.
  • Curtain does not need special care, it is enough to wipe it from time to time, and once in several months to wash on hands or in a washing machine.
  • Unlike rigid screens, the curtain can be hung under any bath, regardless of the shape or size of the plumbing fixture.
  • Curtain provides easy access under the bath. If there is a need for repairing plumbing or cleaning under the bathroom, the curtain can simply be pushed into the corner or completely removed from the hinges - it will take less than a minute.

Tailoring technology

To sew a blind for a bath under your own hands, you will need:

  • a piece of waterproof cloth;
  • measuring tape or sartorial meter;
  • scissors;
  • cornice( or wire, clothesline, etc.);
  • sewing machine.

Steps:

  • First you need to determine the dimensions of the future product. To do this, we measure the space under the bathroom and cut out a piece of cloth of the appropriate size, making a length of a few centimeters. If the fabric "creeps" along the cutting line, you need to bend the edges and stitch them on the sewing machine.
  • Nashiem loops on the top edge of the product. The size of the loops depends on the method of attaching the curtains. For the eaves it is necessary to make loops more, and for the rope the smallest loops are enough.
  • We fix the cornice under the tub or we pull the rope, after fixing the screws in the wall. Another option is to glue a sticky stick to the tub with Velcro, and sew on the curtain itself.
  • Now you can hang the curtain in place.

It turned out a convenient and original alternative to the screen for a bath!

Decoupage on plastic curtains

Decorating in the technique of decoupage can be almost any piece of interior, including a plastic curtain for the bath:

  • First, the entire surface of the curtain should be painted with acrylic paint. Choose color according to the overall color design of the bathroom and the selected image. Wait for the paint to dry.
  • Then prepare decoupage cards: cut out or gently tear pictures and moisten them with water.
  • Mix PVA glue with water and primer the surface of the curtain with the resulting solution.
  • While the glue is not dry, put decoupage cards on the blind and level them, smoothing from the center to the edges.
  • If the images are too strong in the background, shade them with any colors( you can use gouache or watercolor).
  • The result should be fixed with a varnish. The more layers of varnish you impose, the better, but there must be at least three.
