How to make cotton drapes and curtains

The steps for making cotton drapes and curtains are as follows:

Measure the size. Firstly, measure the width of the window or wall. If only the window needs to be covered, add more than ten centimeters to the width of the window to make both sides of the curtain look more beautiful. If you need to cover the wall with cotton drapes and curtains, you need to measure the width of the wall.

Purchase fabric and yarn. Purchase fabric and yarn based on the width of the window or wall. Usually, the ratio of fabric to yarn is 1:2. For example, if the wall is 2.7 meters wide, you need to purchase 5.4 meters of fabric. If you need to make full wall cotton drapes and curtains, you should choose fabric with a fixed height of 2.8 meters.

Cut the fabric. Cut the fabric according to its pattern. Flower position refers to the position of the pattern on the fabric. When cutting, the length of the fabric needs to consider the fold ratio to ensure the crease effect of the cotton drapes and curtains.

Processing cloth tape. The total width of the tape is equal to the required number of meters of tape. Be careful not to sew the small opening of the hook tightly when purchasing. The width of the tape should match the width of the track or Roman pole.

Choose lace trim. Choose lace according to the color combination of the fabric and yarn. The length of lace is usually insufficient, for example, if a merchant claims 20 meters per board, it may actually only be 15 meters. Lace is usually used at the bottom of cotton drapes and curtains to enhance aesthetics.

Install tracks or Roman poles. The length of the track or Roman pole should match the length of the curtain box. If there is no curtain box, Roman poles can be used. The width of the track or Roman pole is chosen according to individual needs.

Install cotton drapes and curtains. When installing tracks or Roman poles, it is necessary to use an impact drill to drill holes on the wall and install expansion screws.

In addition, different curtain making methods can also be chosen according to personal preferences, such as patchwork cotton drapes and curtains, patchwork cotton drapes and curtains, lace cotton drapes and curtains, and patchwork cotton drapes and curtains.
