Master Class
- Choosing the material for the manufacture of curtains, it is better to stay on the wallpaper for painting . Before you begin, measure the width and height of the window.
- Cut with a knife a strip of wallpaper of the necessary width, and along the length it should be 30-40 cm more than the height of the window.
- Turning the wallpaper on the wrong side, we put marks on both sides of the sheet at a distance of 3.5 cm from each other.
- By connecting the marks on both sides with the help of a ruler, carefully fold along the planned lines a sheet of wallpaper in the form of an accordion. Make sure that the width of each fold is the same. The last wrinkle should be bent inside the product.
- Now the hole punch makes holes in each fold exactly in the middle and, retreating 5 cm from each edge. Three pieces of tape are glued to the upper fold by an adhesive tape under exactly three rows of holes. After this, one must pass the tapes in turn to all the holes. On the middle band we put on a special fixative.
- It remains to glue our blinds with double-sided tape to the window and lift the latch to the height you need.
- The edges of ribbons can be decorated at your discretion. This will look like a curtain made of wallpaper, which we made with our own hands.
