Types of curtains
Depending on the material, the curtains are divided into:
- tissue
- plastic.
Fissure curtains allow fantasies to raise the full program. First, it is associated with an abundance of various materials, secondly, make the curtains for the bathroom simply simply, which allows not only to save, but also to get the most optimal solution that fully complies with your taste preferences.
Fabric curtains are divided into:
- simple
- combined
- sophisticated
- with decorative elements.
Simple curtains are products for which only one type of fabric is used. Combined consist of several different tissues. Complex curtains include various feldochki, pleate, etc. Curtains with decorative elements can be made according to any of the above technologies, but they are distinguished by the presence of certain decorative elements (embroidery, drawing, etc.).
Plastic curtains are much easier than fabric. This is the usual cut of a material that is decorated with stickers or patterns. It is advisable to use it only when you want to perform work as quickly and not too bother with sewing. Modern flexible plastic is a wide variety of shades and degrees of transparency, so suitable for any interior.
Preparatory work
Before entering the manufacture of curtains, you must perform several preliminary action:
- think up the design,
- select the material
- fasten
- check out the sewing equipment.
The external design of the curtain is quite important, since this is one of those subjects of Deco, which immediately rushes into the eyes. Options may be two:
- key,
- contrast.
The tonality assumes that the curtain will be combined with the total colors. At the same time, it does not have to fully match the color. Only individual drawings will be allocated, but they should fall into tone the rest of the interior items. This option is most often found, as it is a win-win.
The game of contrasts is that the color of the curtain is selected directly opposite to the cafél. At the same time, it is important that in addition to the curtains there are other brightly distinguished objects. It can be furniture or individual elements, for example, tile in the form of a picture. The contrast version is more like an amateur, since its goal is to be shuffled and for everyday use this design will most likely begin to annoy.
If you stopped on the plastic, then everything is simple, but to the choice of fabric it is necessary to come carefully. The first thing to pay attention to is moisture. It will be quite a lot, therefore thick tissues are not allowed. They will be constantly wet and very heavy, which will quickly lead the fastening. Thin natural fabrics are also not suitable for the curtain, they will become a moisture collector, from which the puddles will constantly flow.
Based on this, attention should be stopped exclusively on synthetic tissues. There are no limitations here and everything depends exclusively from imagination.
It's not easy enough to sew curtains for the bathroom, they still need to be consolidated. Fastenings are installed in advance. The mechanism consists of:
- guide strip (usually round galvanized pipe),
- two locks,
- set of screws with dowels.
On the necessary height, the holes under the dowel are drilled in the wall and fixators are attached. Then the guide bar is inserted into them and fixed with the help of crimp bolts.
In practice, it often happens that our performances differ from how the thing will look in life. Therefore, the height of the curtain is better to check and play in advance so that then it was not to redo it.
Frequently enough, especially in shower cabins, you need an angular curtain for the bathroom. It is essentially no different from the usual. The only one should choose not directly, but a semicircular guide bar.
Completes the preparatory work checking the sewing machine. It is better to make it before buying a material, as if there is a sufficiently serious breakage, it may be easier to take another material or change the design, instead of buying a new sewing unit or give it to repair.
How to make curtains for a plastic bath?
Finished plastic curtains are represented in the richest assortment and, nevertheless, they are satisfied not all. The choice of material is due to its practicality, but external design, as a rule, leaves much to be desired. Consider some interesting decisions. Make a choice will help the photo of the bathroom curtains.
Option 1 - decorate the finished curtain.
Plastic superbly interacts with any varieties of molecular glue, therefore, the most simple curtain is bought in the store, which is brought to mind at home.
Dressing methods are quite a lot:
- applique
- decoupage,
- mosaic,
- fresco.
Applique involves sticking various plastic elements. It can be:
- flowers,
- animals,
- abstract pictures.
Although this is the easiest solution, it looks quite original.
The technology of decoupage on plastic is one of the most complex, but, and the most spectacular. To do this, you will need high-quality white acrylic. The work is done like this:
- roll out the curtain on a flat surface (to pre-lay newspapers or film so that nothing is blocked),
- paint her paint and wait until complete drying,
- while the paint dries, prepare decoupage cards,
- process the painted surface is well diluted with water plow glue (should be liquid like water),
- impose decoupable cards and wait until the drawing is absorbed and dry,
- art Deco at will,
- open moisture-resistant varnish (minimum three times).
Mosaics are collected from pieces of colored glass, which are fixed with glue. Externally, it looks very original, but the work is quite painstaking, in addition, it is necessary to try 3-4 different glue, since the properties that are not always indicated on the label coincide with real possibilities.
The fresco is performed using decoupage technology, only the present drawing is applied instead of ready-made cards. Suitable only for those who really know how to draw. One of the varieties of this area is art graffiti. Aerosol mixtures allow you to do without applying the pre-layer acrylic, and draw directly on plastic, but this work should be trusted only by professionals. If you use car enamel, you do not need to open the picture with varnish.
Option 2 - We make the curtain yourself.
For this you will need:
- rivets
- construction knife,
- rule
- flexible plastic sheets.
In fact, the material is quite popular in industry, as stable to any chemical impact. Therefore, it is not necessary to buy it in stores, but on manufacturers and store stores. It is worth noting that there is not only a standard white translucent shade, but also absolutely the whole color gamut, from gently blue, to the zhugua orange.
Typically, products are sold to rolls and is not cut off, however cost a roll will be slightly more expensive than the simplest finished curtains, but it will be possible to spend several experiments if something will not work from the first time. It is important to take a cloth with a thickness of no more than 4 mm, otherwise the curtains will not be collected.
The work is performed as follows:
- roll the roll
- trim curtains in size
- cut off the loop strip (10 cm width),
- cut the strip on separate smooth loops,
- with rivets, fasten them from above the curtains.
If there is a desire for additional decoration, then all the options described above are suitable.
How to make a bathroom curtains from a fabric?
As in the case of plastic, two options are also two:
- with additional elements
- normal.
Conventional curtains are made literally in a couple of hours. When buying you will already be cut off the cuts of the desired length (it is important to choose a canvas that is suitable in width to do not cut anything). And then it remains:
- to stroke the Iron matter so that there are no folds,
- start side face
- put a loop
- secure the weightlifier below (if the fabric does not have it).
As a weighting agent, the curtains itself are used either, either make a fold in which any material is hiding, providing tension curtains (wooden chips, sand). Naturally, they are even without a weighting agent, but then the lower edges of the curtains are quickly rubbed and come into disrepair, moreover, it is impossible to make beautiful Falda.
Curtains with additional elements are made at exactly the same scheme, the exception that Ryushi or any other decorations are sewn to the material. Such openwork curtains are suitable for bathrooms made in noble light blue colors, where furniture from stone prevails in the interior.
In the event that you do not want to make the loops and use the mounting rings, the holes in the tissue should be processed correctly. To avoid breaks and stretching, they must be searched, or manually cross. The procedure is extremely complex and long, so the simpler version is to buy special accessories. Metal rings are inserted into the holes and squeezed with pliers. It is important that the holes themselves are made by a special tool. If there is no work at hand, then the holes are better to burn (nail or screw), but in no case can not cut into a knife or scissors, as it will hurt the tissue.
