We propose to learn a few techniques manufacture of hand-made curtainsSo that you can at any time bring to the interior of the novelty bored without unnecessary spending.
plisse
The easiest-to-learn type of makeshift curtains - pleated. Although they are more like traditional blindsOnly without gaps. For their production, you will need to prepare a special crepe paper or solid pick wallpaper (best cope with the task of non-woven paintable).
Additional materials:
- wooden slats across the width of the window shutters;
- string or nylon cord;
- PVA glue (may be replaced by small nails);
- stationery tape.
For the manufacture of pleated curtains you want to cut your own hands from corrugated paper, two identical rectangles the size of the window. In the case when using smooth the wallpaper, on the formation of folds to be laid 30-40 cm margin length, and the very fabric before starting work to smooth inside out iron. Patterns of the need to break the nonwoven on both sides to the same lengths of 30-50 mm - on these points and make the folds, pleats, collecting them in a "harmonica".
To the upper edges of the curtains attach wooden slats. If you choose curtains fixing nails, under the bonnet should put a decorative or just wide washers. In the case of an adhesive preform better placed under the press for a few hours.
After that you can mark and make holes in the folds of the pleats and the upper rails. For this fit a thick awl, but it is better to use a hole punch. Through these breakdowns in webs stretched nylon cord and is discharged through the holes or the response ring on a horizontal rail. The further course of work will depend on your design ideas.
- If this is the standard curtains, blinds just made with his own hands, at the bottom of quite beautiful tie knots or disguise their beads, pendants, tassels. At the top ends of the filaments are bundled together and transferred to one side - with their help you can lift the curtain and even leave them in the open position when the construction provide some fixative. However, for such a delicate material such loads are extremely undesirable.
- At high and narrow windows will look more interesting pleated paper, made in the form festoons. For this corrugated blank need only steal a single central filament rigidly fixing it at both ends hosts (further their better glue). Curtains made with their own hands, should get a bomber. After this will only put together the free edges of "bunching" in the manner of a fan and fix the bureaucratic tape.
patterned curtains
To manufacture these curtains with his hands need the same set of materials, and pleated, plus board and a lot of candle wax or paraffin. The solid mass was melted in a water bath and is applied with a brush on the cardboard sheets. To prepared based immediately applied patterned wallpaper coating sheets up - do need a very fast until paraffin not stiffened so that cut paper blanks advance. If the wallpaper does not stick over the whole area at once - it does not matter, after all bonding elements can pass an iron. In the same way reverse side is coated and cardboard.
The resulting preform is a bilateral panel for assembling blinds type blinds, but you can go ahead and cut out these different figures: circles, stars, hearts. After that, the strands of desired length recruit their own hands garlands of individual elements. And in order to improve the light-transmitting ability curtains therebetween can use small spacers (beads or fine suspension assemblies). Finished thread fastened to the base, for which again take the appropriate size strips with holes for fasteners. Tying garlands on the rail, coat with glue and nodules after drying hang curtains in the kitchen.
