We decorate our house
A very good choice in this case would bebead curtains made by hand. They look beautiful in window or interior openings and niches, attracting attention with their lightness and elegance. Swaying, they fascinate with their translucency, and in dim lighting they have a truly magical look! So if you still have doubts, then listen to the opinion of experts: making bead curtains by hand is not difficult, and you will get real pleasure from the creative process.
Where to begin?
So, what do you need to get started?Take a cord 2 to 3 m long and no more than 3 mm thick, otherwise it will be too wide to string beads on. Alternatively, you can also use a nylon thread or a narrow ribbon. In addition, we will need the beads themselves, and their size and the material they are made of (plastic, glass or wood) are determined by you, depending on the chosen style of your interior. We will need a cord with a small allowance in length if we make knots on our future curtains. These knots will separate the beads strung on the cord and create an additional decorative pattern. You can easily calculate how many centimeters of cord you can use for knots by measuring the height of your room or the interior opening in which the curtains will be located. Before you start working, draw a plan of your future product, think over the main details of its location and fastening. It is better to start assembling our curtains from the lower end, where you need to hang a decorative weight so that the cords with beads do not get tangled and hang evenly. The cords can be decorated with separating knots, and the beads can be secured with crimps, which, like the beads, can be purchased at a jewelry hardware store. Correctly selected parts will allow you to make beaded curtains with your own hands so that the result is a real work of decorative art.
Enjoy the result
The collected threads can be hung separately so thattake a good look at the finished item. You can immediately evaluate the pattern and appearance of the decoration and adjust some details, if necessary. It is also recommended to use glass beads or other similar details as additional decorative elements for such curtains. The main thing is that the thread with decorations looks natural and harmonious, because you are not making an ordinary curtain, but a decoration that will be noticed. You can fix the finished curtains using a cornice or a special clamping device. Pay attention to the fact that the threads are securely held in the fasteners. Agree that if you make curtains from beads with your own hands, but at the same time parts of this decoration constantly fall out of the fasteners onto the floor, then this will spoil the whole impression of your work. Perhaps you should think about also making a clamping device with your own hands. When your creation is ready and in place, you can fully enjoy the results of your labor. A stylish product, unlike what is sold in the store, not only decorates your home, but also brings warmth and comfort to it. And every time you remember how you worked on its production, you will feel a sense of satisfaction from a job well done.
