When you do not need a cornice?

There are several types of curtains, the method of attaching which is very far from the classic:

• cassette;
• rolling;
• Roman.

Roman

Cornices in this case and are not expected. Especially popular are Roman curtains, they are known for a long time, and originally represented a canvas, the height of which was regulated with the help of special rings. There were no cornices in those days. Now, too, rings are used, but they differ from the ancients. Lifting the curtains has become much more convenient, but you do not need to push them apart, which means you do not need a round stick with rings or hooks.

Rolled and cassette

These curtains have much in common, including the fact that they are fastened directly to the wall or to the frame without any additional devices. Roller blinds are a canvas that is wound on a roller. They are raised and lowered using a special mechanism.

Important! The cassette has a box in which the cushion is hidden, that is, these are the same roller blinds with a closed mechanism. This dramatically reduces the amount of dust and reliably protects the mechanism from the effects of the environment and various damages.

Such curtains can be of different lengths, with folds and without them, but there is one common feature - a roller is fastened, and not a blind, that is again there is nothing to push apart.

When the cornice is needed?

There are situations when it is simply impossible to hang curtains without a ledge:

• if the curtains are made of very heavy fabric;
• if the curtains are in the floor;
• if the curtains must necessarily move apart.

Important! Much depends on the style of the room. For the classics, preference is given to heavy curtains with curtains, but minimalists may well be content with light roller blinds. For the kitchen in the Provencal style, light curtains on the line will suit, and Loft fans can afford any objects, if only they harmonize with each other.

Fastening on hooks

For Roman curtains, the point attachment is most suitable. The same option is good for light curtains, and even for some thick curtains. As for the Roman, they are often specially processed and do not need - many models already have ready-made hinges. But the curtains or dense curtains will have to be taken care of.

Materials for work

To hang such curtains without a ledge, you will need:

• hooks for clothing or curly holders;
• universal adhesive;
• measuring tape;
• pencil;
• braid;
• sewing machine.

There are two ways of pinpointing:

• with a rail;
• without rails.

Important! In the first case, a wooden rack is nailed parallel to the upper edge of the window in the first case, and hooks or holders are already on it. In the second method, the hooks are hung directly on the wall. If the curtains are heavy, the first option is more convenient, especially if you choose holders that are not glued, but are screwed or stuffed. On the dacha or balcony you can use hooks on the suckers.

Preparing the curtains

When you ask yourself what you can hang the curtains apart from the curtain rod, and after choosing the spot mount, first prepare the curtains. On the upper edge you need to sew neat loops.

Option 1:

1. Think about how far the hinges will be located.
2. Measure the width of the curtain.
3. Estimate, the length of the segment will be plotted on the edge an integer number of times.
4. At the top edge of the edge, set the appropriate distance and put a point or make a stitch.
5. Similarly, mark the rest.

1. Make a loop from the soutache right above the edge.
2. Sweep the entire suta, making loops in the places of marks, and then stitch.

Option 2

In this case, air loops are made of threads. The upper edge of the curtains is better to be cut first.

Work order to hang curtains without a ledge:

1. Mark the top edge in the same way as in the previous case.
2. Thread the thread and tie both ends into a knot at the end.
3. Right above the edge, make and fasten the air loop.
4. Sweep it with a stitch seam, tight stitches.
5. Do the same loops and where there are marks.

Mark the cornice

This procedure depends very much on whether or not the folds will be. Place under the hooks for Roman curtains can be marked immediately - the segments on the wall or the bar will be exactly the same as on the curtain itself. If you have curtains or usual hanging curtains, it's more convenient to do so:

1. Spread a straight line on the floor( you can lay the thread evenly, for example).
2. Spread the blind so that the top edge aligns with the line.
3. Fold the folds.
4. Make a mark on the line where the hinges are located.
5. Measure the distance between marks.

Important! If you are going to attach the hooks directly to the wall, it is also better to draw a straight line( for example, by level), and then mark it.

We hang the curtain

After you have all the layout, the rest will seem quite easy. If the hooks are with an adhesive layer, simply paste them on the wall or on the bar. Holders without such a layer are attached to universal adhesive.

Important! If necessary - you can use nails( there are holders in which holes are specially made for this purpose).

Advantages and disadvantages of point fixing:

• If the hooks sit tight enough, you can hang as many curtains as you like. For example, curtains, portieres on the sides, lambrequin - and all this she has the same mounts.
• Holders themselves can be very effective.
• In addition, this method of fastening allows you to beautifully decorate the window of the most bizarre shape, whether it be an arch or a porthole.

Important! As for the shortage, he is only one. You can not move the curtains apart.

Textile fastener

Despite the fact that the cornice remains the most popular way of fastening curtains, it still annoys many. Owners of some models have to constantly climb the window to fix the clamp or push apart the rings, which themselves do not want to move. If you do not like it all, try a contact textile clasp, which in everyday life is often referred to as Velcro, and in literature - Velcro tape.

If you have a question about how to hang curtains without curtains or curtains without curtains, this way of fixing is thought up specially for you.

Important! Velcro consists of two parts, one has eyelets on the other, hooks on the other. The advantage of this method is that the curtains can be hung any way - on the wall, and on the frame.

Cooking curtain

A curtain tape is attached to the curtain:

1. Sew the upper edge of the curtain with a stitching suture, stitches of medium length.
2. Place the blind on the floor.
3. In parallel with the upper edge, place the tape.
4. Place the assemblies by slightly pulling the outline.
5. Attach the tape to the back of the curtains, and then attach.

Fasten the second part of the Velcro

Do it better on a pre-planned line. It should go strictly horizontally, unless, of course, your creative intention suggests a different solution.

Important! The one who proposes to hang the curtains directly on the frame, there is no problem - the imaginary line goes strictly parallel to the upper edge of the frame. But on the wall you have to conduct a straight line - by level, tailor's meter or just a long rake.

By the way, you can fix the Velcro to the wooden bar if you need it. There are several mounting options:

• for universal adhesive;
• on nails;
• with self-tapping screws.

The glue does not hold very well, so the nails are preferable in this situation. When the tape with the loops takes their place, combine both parts of the Velcro and lightly press it down with your hand.

Important! Velcro is not the strongest fastening, so it's not worth using for long heavy curtains. This method is also not suitable for houses where there are climbing animals.
