More recently, in every house there was a sufficient number of silver CD. They recorded the music, movies and games. Today, this "rarity" almost no one uses it. A drive deposits remained. Do not rush to throw away. Each disk drill two holes: the upper and lower portions and fasten them together by means of staples.

A similar version of the stoppers from wine curtains. Of course, to save the desired number have long enough. But if you tell us about your plans to numerous friends and relatives, perhaps they will come to your aid. You can not just connect the plugs with each other, and add wooden beads between them.
This will make the design more interesting and plastic.

- "Textile curtains" of the tapes.
Perfect for a country house - unusual design of the tapes of different textures and colors. By the way, not necessarily to buy special tape, simply cut the unnecessary web (tablecloths, sheets, curtains) on the tape of a certain width and length. Are attached individually to tape "ledge", a role which uses a conventional stick or cane. Tape glued, strapped on buttons, tied or fastened in some other way.

At the beginning of the cord becomes a node and strung bead, followed by tube, then back bead and so on until the desired length. For a change between elements, place decorative details, such as butterflies out of paper or snowflakes.

- Buttons.
Probably, every housewife has a treasured box, which holds the buttons. Typically, these boxes are not small in size, because the buttons accumulates very, very much. So, you can, as they say, "kill two birds with one stone": to reduce the number of buttons lying dead weight and build interesting design. To do this, the buttons randomly strung on a strong fishing line. If desired, such "drapes" Uni made.

Nice and simple
If you consider yourself a conservative in matters of registration of the window space, then create from the usual material curtains - normal tissue. First of all, do not be afraid to start production of curtains with his hands. In fact, even if you are not a professional, to build the line on the machine in the cellar. For the first line followed by the second, third and so on. And now I notice the results.
It's not as difficult as it may seem at first glance.
Of course, much depends on the model chosen. For example, "Grandma's curtains" does not even require the presence of a pattern, just enough to make sure the marks on the canvas. And in order to create a true masterpiece with lambrequins and ties better to take master classes and detailed instructions. For complex designs will also require certain skills. But as they say, Down and Out the trouble started!
Move from elementary to more complex is never too late.
Tools and materials
No matter what kind of model you choose to take, a set of tools virtually unchanged. So, to create a masterpiece for the window decoration is required:
- scissors;
- centimeter and a ruler;
- mold;
- tailor's chalk;
- pins;
- seam ripper (in case something goes wrong);
- thimble.
When the material is collected, we begin to work.
And, of course, a sewing machine.
Curtain variants for different rooms
Kitchen
This is perhaps the best option for beginners handy people. Common today, curtains in the "granny style" require minimal skills. In addition, as soon as the curtains, the model does not require a major financial investment and effort.
If there is a desire to complicate the design and sew two separate shutter and another covering the upper half of the window.
The simplest option - one painting.
It needs only two measurements: length and width. To get a nice drape, the width multiplied by one and a half or two, depending on how "thick" drape you want to get a result.
For these curtains will suit a variety of fabrics: linen, cotton, batiste, as well as the sacking or organza.
Those who do not have much experience in the manufacture of curtains, better use of fabric, easy to handle, for example, cotton.
The colors chosen at your discretion. Prefer single-colored canvas and then supplement it with braid and applications. Or take a material with a pattern (it is better if the print is small), and is rounded off by means of laces or satin tape in tone.
By the way, the "grandmother's window" today actually looks quite modern. Smartly designed interior makes it possible to make the kitchen not only stylish but also functional, which is also important.
Bedroom
Besides the beauty and style of the curtains in the bedroom is still required and sufficient protection from sunlight. Therefore, choosing a model for tailoring, pay particular attention to functionality.
This factor must be considered when choosing fabrics.
The most convenient option for the bedroom - two curtains to the floor and delicate tulle. And again, only need two parameters: length and width.
First treated fabric on the sides, and then "make out" the upper and lower part.
Do not forget to carefully proutyuzhivat stitched seats. Then to sew the top of a special tape that will allow the canvas to keep the shape. We put fabric on the cornice.
Living room
Hall - a special place in every home. Therefore, it would be desirable to design windows not only made a lasting impression on the guests, but also create a special atmosphere.
Depending on the style of interior decoration, curtains can be very different.
If you allow the overall design concept, the curtains can be "harvested" from the individual fragments of the same texture of the fabric, but different colors (patchwork). Or it may be the web in the "abstraction" style. Drapes of fabric remnants complement the style of country music. Finally, two standard blade holders can be fixed in an unusual form.
Flight of fancy has not been canceled.
How to upgrade the old curtains
And it so happens that completely change the design of the window do not want to, but in the form in which it exists, the window a little fed up. What to do? Flick of the wrist turn a favorite curtains in a creative option.
