Roman blinds - a more sophisticated version of the blinds - can be purchased in commerce, where the offer is varied and affordable and can be made by you what you need materials and tools: roulette, chalk for sewing needles, machine sewing needles, compass, smirgher, attach / rope, fabric and tape with attendance (the width blinds). The product obtained should have the following characteristics: to be attached to a stave above the window can be stretched over it and folded horizontal creases or folds are obtained through a system of ropes passing through rings, behind blinds and creases in the right of a thin wooden slats, made in behind it. Crease size is variable depending on the number of slats used - with as many slats are, the more folds are smaller, but you need some more material. Calculate the size of material required, measuring the total surface area to be covered, add hem (top, bottom, side) and supplement tube (clothing or cover shingles, those that form between the folds), and multiplying the number of slats.
So, to start the job:
- Measure, chalk and tivurile side coaseti them to the car;
- Turn the top of the material, as if you put Hardeners coaseti curtains and the mesh (the one that sticks) of the band with attendance on top of blinds (coaseti along the strip edges);
- Measured and marked with a needle many places where you put slats (the length of the material);
- Measure the circumference sipcii so you can calculate the dimensions of the tube;
- For each tube do with these signs and calculate the Curtain material required by the circumference sipcii;
- Fixed lines and fasten needle guide tubes so be on the back material;
- sew along the lines set needle, using a seam right - will result in "cover" for the slats;
- sew a seam on the back material;
flock - coaseti hand rings on each tube, at equal distances towards the edges (wider blinds require one row of rings in addition, in the middle). If slats bow after you installed blinds added rings and strings.
- Itroduceti attach / rope through the ring and secure it with one node to ring down - it must be sufficiently long that it can be handled easily
- Cut slats tunnel and required seam size - slightly shorter than the final width blinds
- Polished heads slats (with skin) and insert them in the Curtain
- Screw rings clip on the bottom of sipcii to be fixed above the window - place them at a distance equal to that of rows of rings on Curtain.
- Paste from the hooks (the one that sticks) of the band with attendance on the stave - if the blinds is too heavy, stitched belt with attendance.
- Unite the two sides of the strip with attendance (one on the stave with the Curtain)
- Insert strings with rings attached blinds the slats (clip rings, as I called). Strings must reach blinds side, so that it can be handled
- Finally, there will remain only to mount above the window blinds
