It turns out that fabric is not the only material for making curtains. In the presence of ingenuity, curtains with your own hands can be made of almost everything that comes into view.
For interior decoration, you can make curtains with your own hands from any available materials.
More recently, in every home there was a sufficient number of silver CDs. They recorded music, movies and games. Today, almost no one uses this “rarity”. And deposits of disks remained. Do not rush to throw away. Drill two holes in each disk: in the upper and lower parts, and fasten them together with staples. If you do not want to use paper clips, then connect them with thin, but strong rope or fishing line.
Place the finished “disc strips” above the window, or above the doorway.
A similar option, curtains of corks from wine. Of course, it will take a long time to save the necessary amount. But if you tell about your plans to numerous friends and relatives, they may come to your aid. It is possible not just to connect corks among themselves, but to add wooden beads between them.
This will make the structure more plastic and interesting.
"To accumulate" the right amount of such material will not be difficult. It is better if the traffic jams are colored, then the design fits perfectly into the interior of the nursery.
Such curtains are suitable for a country house, they draw up the verandas and doorways.
A great option for a country house - an unusual design of the tapes of different textures and colors. By the way, it is not necessary to buy special ribbons, just cut unnecessary cloths (tablecloths, sheets, curtains) into ribbons of a certain width and length. The ribbons are individually fastened to the “eaves”, in the role of which they use a regular stick or cane. Tapes are glued, fastened on buttons, tied or fastened in some other way.
In this case, everything is at the discretion of the hostess.
At first glance, this improvised material cannot be used for another purpose, but in capable hands even the tubes turn into a bright and stylish accessory. At the very beginning, a knot is made on the cord and a bead is strung, then there is a pipe, then again a bead and so on to the desired length. Place decorative details, such as paper butterflies or snowflakes, between the elements.
With the help of a cord and beads the tubes are attached to the eaves.
Available and beloved by many needlewomen material.Cutting out of it elements of different size and shape, and strung them on a fishing line.
We get spectacular and comfortable curtains from scrap materials.
Probably, every housewife has a treasured box in which buttons are stored. As a rule, such boxes are not small in size, since buttons accumulate very, very much. So, it is possible, as they say, “to kill two birds with one stone”: reduce the number of dead-lying buttons and build an interesting structure. To do this, buttons in random order are strung on a solid line. If desired, these "portieres" are made monotonous.
And if you want to add a positive, paint life with bright colors - make them colorful.
Today in stores for needlework offers a huge range of beads and other accessories. It is quite affordable and is intended for different purposes: from creating jewelry to making a special type of curtains. So, buying a sufficient number of beads of different size, shape and color (or, on the contrary, the same size and one color), string them on a fishing line.
Attach each finished "thread" to the eaves.
If you consider yourself a conservative in matters of window space design, then create curtains from the usual material - the usual fabric. First of all, do not be afraid to start making curtains with your own hands. In fact, even if you are not a professional, it will not be difficult to lay a line on a typewriter. The first line will be followed by the second, third and so on. And now the result is noticeable.
It is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance.
Of course, a lot depends on the chosen model. So, for example, "grandmother's curtains" will not require even the presence of a pattern, it is enough just to accurately make the markup on the canvas. And in order to create a real masterpiece with lambrequins and ties, it is better to use master classes and detailed instructions. Difficult structures will also require certain skills. But as they say, the first step is the hardest!
It’s never too late to go from basic to more complex.
No matter which model you decide to tackle, the toolkit is virtually unchanged. So, to create a masterpiece for window decoration you will need:
When the material is collected, proceed to work.
Well, of course, a sewing machine.
This is perhaps the most suitable option for beginner needlewomen. “Grandma style” curtains that are widespread today will require minimal professional skills. In addition, since the curtains are short, the model does not require serious financial investments and effort.
If you wish, complicate the design and sew two separate curtains and another one that covers the upper half of the window.
The simplest option is one canvas.
Only two measurements will be required: length and width. To get a beautiful drapery, the width is multiplied by one and a half or two, depending on how much “thick” drapery you want to get as a result.
For such curtains fit a variety of fabrics: linen, cotton, cambric, as well as burlap or organza.
Those who do not have much experience in the manufacture of curtains, it is better to use fabrics that are easy to process, such as cotton.
The color is chosen at your discretion. Prefer monochrome canvas and then complement it with braid and appliqués. Or take the material with a pattern (it is better if the print is small), and give the completed look with a lace or satin ribbon in tone.
By the way, in fact, the “grandmother’s window” today looks quite modern. Properly designed interior allows you to make the kitchen not just stylish, but also functional, which is also important.
In addition to the beauty and style of the curtains in the bedroom will also need sufficient protection from sunlight. Therefore, choosing a model for tailoring, pay special attention to functionality.
The same factor should be taken into account when choosing a fabric.
The most convenient option for a bedroom is two curtains to the floor and thin tulle. Again, only two parameters are required: length and width.
First we process the canvases on the sides, then “make out” the upper and lower parts.
Do not forget to carefully iron stitched places. After that, we attach a special tape to the upper part, which will allow the canvas to hold the shape. Put the canvas on the eaves.
The hall is a special place in every home. Therefore, I want the window decoration not only to make a lasting impression on the guests, but also to create a special atmosphere.
Depending on the style of the interior, the curtains can be very different.
If the overall design concept allows, the curtains can be “assembled” from separate fragments of fabric of the same texture, but of different colors (patchwork style). Or it can be paintings in the style of "abstraction". Curtains of fabric remnants complement the country style. Finally, two standard canvases can be fixed by holders in an unusual shape.
Flight of fantasy has not been canceled.
And it happens that you do not want to completely change the design of the window, but in the form in which it exists, the window is slightly fed up. What to do? With a flick of the wrist, turn your favorite curtains into a creative option.
The brighter and more amazing - the better.
It will add originality to your interior.
Your guests will appreciate the creative approach.
After such a simple “operation”, plain curtains will play with new colors.
Hinged curtains are a modern design solution.
The result was beautiful volumetric folds.
As they say, everything is in your hands. Looking for interesting solutions for your own interior - give free rein to your imagination. And do not hesitate to use familiar items for other purposes. Then the creative design of the window opening will be provided.
