Doors between different rooms of an apartment are not always convenient. There are other ways to separate the hallway from the room or kitchen. This can be, for example, a curtain - and it is not at all necessary to sew it from heavy velvet. A variety of materials are suitable for an original curtain, from beads and linen threads to old felt-tip pens.
Folk style curtain
The interior largely depends on draperies - curtains, furniture covers, etc. Therefore, the curtain on the door should be in harmony with other objects. For a room in a folklore style, for example, an original curtain with a bright pattern is suitable. You can make it from burlap. For work you will need: - burlap; - bright thick cotton or woolen threads; - sharp scissors; - a large needle with a wide eye. The hoop for this curtain is not necessary, but if there is a suitable size wooden frame, the fabric can be stretched. Draw a rectangle on the piece of burlap. Its dimensions are equal to the size of the curtain, plus 5 cm for the drawstring. There is no need to leave an allowance below, the curtain will be with brushes. Measure the length of the brushes along the longitudinal thread and pull out the transverse threads to the mark. To make the brushes, divide the fringe into equal tufts. Insert a needle with bright thread at the hem, wrap the first bundle, secure with a couple of stitches. Do the rest of the brushes in the same way. The curtain can be completely embroidered with various stitches; it is very easy to do this on sackcloth. Applique made of bright fabric will also look good. As for the top edge, fold it over to the right side and sew with a decorative stitch like a stalk or goat. Thread the cord and hang your curtain. Such a curtain will harmonize very well with unbleached linen napkins, twine vases, etc.
It is convenient to draw with a ballpoint pen along a long ruler.
Don't throw away old markers
A curtain for a nursery can be made with your own hands from old multi-colored felt-tip pens. You need to pick up markers of the same thickness. Cut off the ends of the markers to make the straws. Remove the contents, wash the tubes thoroughly. You will also need a few large wooden beads or strips to attach to the bottom. Such a curtain can be made immediately on the door. Attach a cord, tie several ropes of the same length to it (10 centimeters longer than the opening). String felt-tip pens on each rope. Tie wooden balls or plates to the lower ends so that the tubes do not slide off. The curtain is ready.
For such a curtain, colored synthetic twine, with which boxes are tied in the markets, is most suitable.
Curtain of kinder surprises
Sometimes it is a pity to throw away yellow testicles from kinder surprises, but they accumulate quickly. A curtain for a nursery can also be made of them. As in the previous case, tie a cord in the doorway and attach the ropes to it, only in this case they should be thinner. Pierce the eggs from both sides - top and bottom. It is better to do this with a hot awl or knitting needle. String them on strings. You can not tie anything from below, a thick knot will be enough.
