Xiaobian teaches you five steps to make curtains.

Introduction: Curtains, as a kind of daily necessities, are indispensable to every family. Curtains are generally used in personal homes to keep warm or keep out the sun. But now the curtains are mostly used in some hotels or guesthouses, especially some hotels with large French windows, so the requirements for curtains are particularly important. So how are the curtains made? Today, Xiaobian will teach you how to make curtains, cultivate your hands-on ability and broaden your horizons.

What is a curtain?

A curtain, as its name implies, is a kind of curtain used in windows, and it is made of a wide range of materials, regardless of any substance. There are pure cloth, cotton and linen, metal and so on. Curtains have many functions, which are different in the south and the north. Curtains are mainly used for heat preservation in the north, because it is cold in winter in the north, so curtains and door curtains are needed to keep out the wind and rain. The function of curtains in the south is mainly to block the sun and adjust the brightness of indoor light. Because the temperature in the south is generally high, there is no need for curtain insulation.

It's not a troublesome thing to make curtains by yourself. On the contrary, it's a meaningful thing to make curtains by yourself. Not only can he make all kinds of colors and patterns according to his own ideas, but his own curtains can also greatly reduce the cost of curtains and save money. Next, Xiaobian will introduce the specific steps of production.

Curtain making steps:

1. The first step in curtain making is to choose satisfactory raw materials. You can choose cotton and linen or bamboo chips and so on. Here Xiaobian takes cloth curtains as an example to introduce them to you.

2. The second step in making curtains is to choose colors and patterns. Generally speaking, the colors of curtains are woven by themselves. We just need to cut it according to a certain pattern.

3. The next step is to consider the size of the curtain. The size of the curtain should be cut according to the size of the window. Generally speaking, the size of the curtain is a little larger than the window. It is best to completely block the window, otherwise it will not block the sun.

4. After completing the above steps, you need to determine the style of the curtain. We can design our favorite styles according to our hobbies. In my personal feeling, the style of curtains should not be too complicated as far as possible, but as simple and generous as possible.

5. After the above four steps, the curtain is basically finished, and only some follow-up work is needed.

Key points of making curtains by hand

1) Measurement: If you only need to cover the window, measure the width of the window and add a dozen centimeters to each side (so that the two sides are more beautiful). If you need to build a full wall, measure the width of your wall.

2) Buy cloth and yarn: Go to Jinqiao market and buy cloth and yarn at the ratio of 1: 1.8 (1: 2 is too wasteful, too many wrinkles are not good-looking, of course, you can buy more wrinkles if you like). For example, if the wall is 2.7 meters wide, buy 2.7×1.8=4.86 meters (just buy 5 meters, you can buy two 2.5 meters, which will save you from cutting back). Pay attention to the fact that if you want to cover the wall, you need to buy lace with a height of 2.8 meters (not much with a height of 2 meters)

3) According to the color matching of cloth and yarn, buy more boards, so as not to add enough. Note that the number of meters per board is insufficient. For example, the merchant claims to be 2 meters/board, but in fact it is only 15 meters. This is the guild regulations, so don't worry about it. It's worthless anyway. In addition, notice that the curtain that is opposite has four vertical edges and a bottom edge. There are also people who have two vertical edges in the middle without lace. Personally, I think lace at the bottom looks better.

4) cloth belt: the total width of the cloth and yarn you bought is the number of meters of cloth belt you need. Buy more, too Be careful not to sew the small opening of the hook when processing the cloth belt. Look at the curtains of a friend's house or ask the store that sells cloth belts.

5) Track or Roman pole: the length of the track is the length of the curtain box of the wall. There is no available Roman rod with curtain box installed, and the width is determined according to the needs. If you don't know how to install it, you can pretend that you just opened a curtain shop to purchase goods, and ask the store. Note: a)? If the bought track and Roman rod are a little longer, you can easily saw off the excess with a saw blade. B) If there is both cloth and yarn, two rails need to be installed. C)? If it is a bay window, you need to buy a curved rail. The price is similar.

6) window curtain: it is also very simple to look at the window curtain of other people's homes. You can use odd cloth or buy it separately. If you don't know, please consult the sewing master in Jinqiao market.

7) processing method: the four sides of the curtain need to be folded a little to prevent wire drawing. You can observe the finished curtains and how the sewing masters in Jinqiao market do it. By the way, you can also discuss with her secretly, and she will be happy to do some private work.

After the above five specific steps, a simple hand-made curtain is made, and we can hang the made curtain where we need it. The above is the content of curtain making, I hope it can help everyone!
