Beaded curtains were extremely popular in the year 1960. Beads add inventive quality to a window or entrance. You should buy beaded curtains right from most of craft stores today but the options are limited and the price is reasonably pricey. However you can build your own special beaded curtains at home. It is extraordinarily easy and simple. You just need to gather the required materials, spend a while stringing beads and decorate your door or window.
In this piece you'll find an easy technique to make a beaded curtain. Decide on a design before you shop for the needed materials. You may well think to use multi-colored beads and prepare strands of beads into an exclusive design. Sketch your design on a paper to make it simple to pick the right beads. Materials and tools :
One ) Fishing line or robust thread
Tow ) a large amount of beads
Three ) Powerful curtain or dowel rod
Four ) Rod brackets
Five ) Eye hooks
Six ) Ruler and pencil
Seven ) Scissors Work instructions : first off, you've got to measure the window or entrance you need to cover. This is the ideal time to work out the right width of the rod. Employ a ruler to split the rod into equal quantities and mark it using pencil.
For a thick curtain, mark each half-inch or so. Then screw in the eye hooks at the marks. Cut fishing line or thread into chunks. Leave room for tying off ends about 2 inches longer than the length of your curtain measurement. Tie a knot at one end of the thread, this end will become the base of the curtain. Now you can start threading beads. Put the beads to the other end of the line. When you reached the required height, tie a knot at the other end. You have got to put the knot next to the last bead, and ensure you leave about 3 inches of thread available on top so you can make a loop. When you're finished threading the 1st strand, repeat the same process for the other strands. Then attach each beaded strand by putting the loops onto the eye hooks. Fix the rod brackets soundly above the window or entrance. Punctiliously put the finished curtain rod on the brackets. Now it is done.
