Mischievous curtain for a summer residence and at home

I want to update the interior, add colors and not spend a lot of money on this ?! There is an exit! The decoration of any room will be a bright and original curtain or a self-sewn curtain. The unusual design and ease of execution available even to a child will allow you to quickly and with great interest "refresh" any interior. Such a curtain will serve as a real decoration for a country house. For its manufacture you will need: 1) fabric (cotton, calico, crepe satin); 2) scissors; 3) templates; 4) sewing machine; 5) sewing needles for fastening the material; 6) a pencil for fabric or soap. Have you cooked? Let's get started!
1. First you need to prepare a template. Start with a simple - circle, small diameter. In the future, you can cut butterflies, stars, hearts and more.
It is important if you decide on more complex figures, then do not rush to do too many blanks. Perhaps it would be better to make several butterflies or stars on the curtain than the entire curtain of them.
2. Take a small flap and fold it several times, so that its height does not exceed the height of the template. Fasten the fabric with sewing needles and outline the pattern with a fabric pencil. It is important if you prepare workpieces from satin crepe, or other slippery, very thin or dense material, then fold the flap several times is not worth it. Better to tinker with cutting for longer than to spoil all the material at a time!
3. Cut the workpiece. A little trick to prevent the edges of the fabric from spreading, and your workpieces not too showing flaws in the form of irregularities when cutting, use scissors with a zigzag blade. It will look very original!
4. Now we sew the blanks into ribbons on a sewing machine. The length of the tape is the length of your curtains. Remember, the evenness and clarity of the line is not important here, and a slight bend will give additional “torsion” in weight. Remember to make a loop for each tape if you do not have a ceiling cornice. It is not necessary to fasten the tapes together, since all the irregularities when stitching will be striking, in extreme cases, you can stitch together several rows closest to the loop.
Well, our curtain is ready! The color of the material, as you can see, can be any, but creativity will depend only on your imagination. The main thing is that such curtains are simple in execution, which means that they can be used for specific events. For example, New Year, Valentine's Day, birthday and more.
