Today offers a lot of options ready curtains and tulle. But sometimes the windows have custom sizes and configurations. Or the design of the finished textile does not match the interior. It so happens that the family budget does not allow to buy expensive curtains with multilayer fabrics. For all these cases, there is one universal solution - individual tailoring. Make the assembly with his own hands is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. But it is necessary to know how to calculate the tulle and curtains on the window.

Window Decoration tulle: types of assembly
Tulle, a gathered, it looks elegant and air. Previously, every crease had to be done manually. Now to achieve a uniform and beautiful assembly is very simple - you need to buy a special tape for curtains.
Curtain tape can accurately distribute the folds across the width of curtains
Curtain tape is a strip of fabric with missing cords therethrough. Sew the ribbon to the web and styanuv laces, can make beautiful folds in the material. Mounted on special textile loops on the tape, which cling to the hooks. Transparent webbing for buying light transparent textures such as organza, mesh, in rare cases - Kristalon, veil. Opaque tape dense to x / w basis, intended to drape and opaque tissue.
For net curtains suitable transparent curtain tape
Important! Opaque tapes made of natural cotton. When washing it can be hooked up to 10-15% of its length. Therefore, it is necessary to take stock of and before sewing iron to iron in the "Stripping".
Different models of the tape will help to make different kinds of material to build.
- Uniform. produced waves with even "columns" with contraction braid cords. Another name - "pencil".
A simple "pencil" assembly
- Pouffe. Second name "wafer" because the bulk pattern similar to the relief of the famous dessert.

- "The cup", "liqueur glass." All of these names are used for beautiful goblet pleats.

- Bantovaya. It creates a uniform box pleat on the canvas. Manually, without the tape, make them quite difficult, especially for beginners.

- "Crow's feet". Triple tucks evenly distributed over the cloth.
This assembly is shaped like crow's feet
If the planned set of tissue for a particular splendor folds, it is necessary to know the coefficient of assembly tulle. It will help in calculating the square footage that is needed for a particular draperies.
assembly factor
assembly factor (COP) - a value that helps determine how much you need to dial the width of the fabric. In fact, this allowance on the waves and the coat-tails, and it determines how lush they will eventually.
assembly coefficient depends on the type of the folds formed on the cloth drapes
Before you calculate the tulle on the window width, it is necessary to find out what will be the COP. To do this, you need to know two values:
- The length of the cornice.
- tape model.
Meters width calculated by the simple formula:
The amount of tissue = k x length cornice
Where k - a build ratio (filling). For different types of assembly, which forms a band, it will be different:
- pencil - k=2,5-3.
- puffs - k = 1,5 – 2,5.
- "Crow's feet" - k = 2.
- Goblet, bantovaya - k = 2,5-3.
Note! On the packaging of curtain tapes must be specified by the COP. Typically, the median ratio = 1: 2.5. It is suitable for virtually any curtains design options.
Knowing the COP, we can only calculate the right amount of tissue. If, for example, k = 1,5, and the eave length - 275 cm, then sew curtains need to dial 375 cm (3.75 meter) tissue (1.5 x 250 cm = 375 cm).
Important. When calculating allowances must be added to the side seams. Typically, add 6 cm, 3 cm at each side seam.
Processing side curtains cut
In our example, a width of 3.75 m need to add 6 cm to the side seams. Total fabric width is 3 m 81 cm.
How many meters of tulle you need on the window three meters?
Often housewives concerned about this question. Popularity dilemma is easy to explain - such width is the most common and is considered standard. In this case, the width may vary from 4.5 m to 9 m. Naturally, in the first case, the material will form a small uniform wave, the second - plush, fluffy tails.
Important! The measurement window width is not frame or aperture, and the length of the cornice. Without consideration of the decorative elements, such as knobs on the sides of the bar.
On the cornice, measure exactly the part on which will go hooks - the working length of the cornice
As a rule, if the cornice 3 meters, how much you need to take tulle, depends on the type of assembly. If the rod length is 3 meters, then the calculation is made by the same formula as that given above. First, you need to determine the order which will be used tapes. Accordingly, there will be known KS, which is required to calculate the width of the material for sewing curtains.
So, we find out how much tulle need a window of 3 meters. Assume braid chosen large goblet pleats, k = 2,5.
3 x 2,5 m (COP) = 7.5 m + 6 cm (lateral hem allowances) = 7.56 m.
That is, in the three-meter window goblet pleats need 7 meters 56 cm tulle.
It is also necessary to take into account the frequency of the folds, because they can be placed with a different pitch
Calculation of tulle on the cornice: degree of filling
To calculate the material along the length of the eaves, it is necessary to know what the content. This is one of the most important criteria in the calculation. From it depends on how magnificently will look like the curtains in the end. The filling can be of three types:
- Small. The minimum allowable level. Designers recommend to type of material is not less than 1: 1.5. That is, when the window width of 3 m minimum amount of fabric to sew - 3 m. X 1.5 = 4.5 m If we take fewer organza or veils, the appearance of the product will be more than modest.
Tulle assembly with a ratio of 1: 1.5
- Average. The best is the set of fabric 1: 2. For a given value on the window three meters will need 6 meters of material. Average content - the most common variant. It allows you to make beautiful drape using a tightening lace and small folds.
Tulle assembly with a ratio of 1: 2
- Full. The most beautiful luxurious stuffing - 1: 3. It looks rich, allows you to make any fancy folds. At the 3-meter length needed 9 meters (3 m x 3 m = 9). But such an option is not suitable for a material with a large pattern or embroidery. Rich hangings hide the beauty of design.

There are some nuances that may affect the calculations:
- Density. The denser the material, the smaller should be filled. Otherwise, the room will get a little light. Conversely, the thinner and more transparent texture, the more content you need to choose.
Tulle is so dense that can greatly delay the sunlight
- Picture. If the material is not solid, and with a large figure, the COP should be small. With too much filled with flowers, butterflies and patterns simply can not be addressed, they will disappear in the lush coattails.

Choosing curtains size
Now you need to determine how to choose the size of the curtains and tulle. That is, to find out what should be the size of curtains at a certain width of the translucent curtains. Drape curtain has a more dense structure. Accordingly, the COP is less than that of a light veil and make k = 1,5-2.
The greater the build ratio, the more luxuriant folds are on the drapes
Calculate the required amount of material for the dense curtain that draped poorly because the rough texture.
Length cornice - 3 m.
COP = 1.5.
Allowances - 6 cm.
Number of drape material: 300 cm x 1.5 cm = 450 + 6 cm (allowance) = 456 cm or 56 cm 4 m.
As a result, you get the drapery, as in the photo
If the texture a little softer, lighter, allows you to make beautiful drape, the COP can choose more - k = 2. Then the calculation would look like this:
Length cornice - 3 m.
CC = 2.
Allowances - 6 cm.
Number of drape material: 300 cm x 2 cm + = 600 6 cm (allowance) = 606 cm or 6 cm to 6 meters.

Examples of different coefficient collectedness
In addition to the tape, there are several other options for window decoration textiles for sewing. Choosing one of them, it is also important to take into account the COP.
- On the eyelets. Canvas fabric strung on a rod using a special metal or plastic rings mounted on the upper edge. Often this option is used to drape the balcony windows. Curtains on the grommet do not interfere with the door open, as they are easy in one motion to set aside. Curtain eyelets at best to choose k = 2.

- Hinged. This design curtains looks good in modern interiors. The canvas is mounted on a bar with the help of textile loops. They can repeat the print of the base web or different contrast can be solid or made out in the form of laces, k = 1,5-2.

Before the fabric on the dial window curtains, curtains, or drapes, it determines a fill factor view webbing, textile design features and accurately measure the length of the eaves. Knowing these parameters, make a beautiful window textiles is not difficult. Examples of the photo window curtains with different COP will help you choose the right option that will appeal to the whole family.
