How to make rolled curtains yourself

The interior decor implies the need to decorate the window. If purchased ready-made options did not come up, you can make rolled curtains with your own hands. They are not so difficult to make them, but in the absence of experience in such work, you should take the master class.

Advantages and features of rolled curtains

Basic structural elements: roller, woven material. In the expanded position, the curtains completely close the windows. To raise the material, the roller hidden in a special pocket is used, which is wounded fabric. Such a device allows you to control the intensity of the lighting of the room.

Other advantages:

• Versatility, since such curtains can be used in rooms of different targets and style directions;
• The ability to install on a frame of the window made from any material (wooden, plastic window blocks);
• Rolled curtains are successfully combined with curtains.

Considering that the basis of the design is woven material, a wide selection of shades and patterns is offered.

Rivan and Roman: main differences

Both variants are similar to external characteristics, but only partially, since when lifting the material of the Roman counterpart, horizontally oriented folds are formed. The fabric assembly is performed by its screed using cords hidden from the back.

Rolled systems neatly screwed up on special rods, and they are easier to make them easier

Finished roll-curtains are collected in the like roller. In this case, the fabric is winding up on a bar, which is located in the upper part of the design in this embodiment, and can also be hidden by the box.

Roman systems rise using cords (chains) and form horizontal wave-folds.

To make rolled curtains with their own hands, a slightly different design is taken as the basis: the roller is located at the bottom of the canvas. And the assembly of the material every time to open the windows will have to be performed. For fixing the roller, garters are used, fixed in the upper part of the canvas.

What to take into account when choosing a material?

The main element of the design is a woven fabric. The choice of matter is very wide, we will have to consider options that are different in color, pattern, density, qualities and fabric properties. Any master class begins with the preparation of the material.

Main criteria when choosing:

1. Tissue density - will provide the desired level of indoor shaders. The thinner of the canvas, the brighter will be in the room when the roll-curtains are lowered. If the windows overlook the southwestern side, it is recommended to make the main focus on this quality of the web.
2. Method of drawing / pattern on fabric. You can find both one-sided and bilateral matter. When choosing, you should pay attention to the fabric with a bilateral pattern, since the Street Roll-curtains will be noticeable. However, this is greater in the first floors of apartment buildings.
3. The antistatic properties of the material will reduce the intensity of the blade dusting. As a result, the construction of the design will need to be performed less often.
4. If you choose a fabric with reflective properties, the microclimate of the room will improve in the hot season.

You should not choose a tone of wallpaper: so the windows are alive with the walls. It is desirable that the shade of the curtains harmonize with the color of the furniture upholstery.

It happens that the search did not give results, and the suitable fabric was not found. For example, the materials of interest are characterized by a small density, and the drawing will apply only on the one hand. From this situation, the yield is - you can make rolled blinds with your own hands from a double canvase. The fabric in this case is located on both sides.

Preparation: Removing measurements

There are several options for installing such structures:

• Over the window opening;
• In the opening;
• On the frame of the window.

Four installation methods: on the sash (realizable only on the opened parts of the windows), inside the window opening, on the wall and ceiling

If we take the master class as the basis, then one of the initial stages is to remove measurements. Making measurements should be done, guided by the installation method of the curtain.

The length of the canvas folds from several values: the height of the surface coated (frame or opening) + 15 cm per pocket + 2 cm on the processing of the edge. The width, again, corresponds to the sizes of the surface coated (frame or window opening), the same 2 cm are added to this value, which are discharged to the processing of sections of the material.

Tool preparation

When the question is solved, how to make rolled curtains, you need to take into account differences in the mechanisms of the purchase and self-made product.

Basic materials, as well as a tool for work:

• Sewing machine;
• Furniture stapler;
• Wooden planks, 2 pcs.;
• Metal corner;
• Woven material;
• Tapes for fastening;
• Decor elements.

There are several ways to attach ribbons, for example, they are tied up with a roll or use buttons.

Step-by-step instruction manufacturing curtains

The master class will allow consistently to work on the sewing and installation of the design made on plastic or wooden windows. First of all, the material must be cut out in accordance with previously produced measurements.

Scheme and sizes Roll tissue curtains

Step 1: Trimming material

If one-sided fabric is selected, two patterns are prepared to be set. First, both cut slices are connected to each other with a corresponding stitch. Moreover, the front side must be inside.

Step 2: Stitching and pattern fabric

The canvas turns out, as a result, the pattern will be outside. Now you need to firm the open area on the typewriter.

Master Class: Step-by-step instruction manufacturing curtains

The master class allows you to cover all the parts in the manufacture of a curtain, in particular, an important nuance is taken into account: with the purpose of weighting the design of the book, a wooden plank is attached. To do this, the canvas should be shot down, having previously turned the edge of the fabric. Plank is inserted into the resulting pocket.

Step 3: Mounting curtains on the base of the cornice

To secure the sound to the base (wooden rail), you need to straighten it on the horizontal surface. There is a planet on top, then the prepared canvas is unitely rocked around this basis.

The finished option is to be mounted with brackets or glue to the eaves, then twist into the roller with pickups and everything is ready.

For fastening, a furniture stapler is used. Garters can be sewed at the tissue processing.

If the most simple master class was selected, it is allowed to mount the ribbons through the same stapler. Their length should exceed the size of the canvas by 15-20 cm.

This will make the tape from the bottom under the roller when assembling the curtains. If you wish, you can envisage the fastening of the tapes on the buttons, then a little smaller stock of the material is taken.

Step 4: Installation of construction in the window opening

It remains to establish a design in the window opening. For this, metal corners are used. They are fixed with self-drawing to the wall in the opening or directly on the frame.

Then the curtain is installed, the mount is based on the corners. Thanks to the step-by-step instructions, you can create rolled curtains of the desired design and colors yourself.
