blackout curtains for bedroom production steps
The steps for making blackout curtains for bedroom are as follows:
Prepare materials. Choose suitable curtain materials, including unbleached gauze, tailoring pins, needles and thread, thin cards, large wooden boards or sheets of white paper, dyes, synthetic sponge or rubber, and selected impressions.
Measure the size. Measure the size of the window, including its width and height, and consider the fold ratio of the curtains. It is generally recommended to purchase fabric in a ratio of 1:1.8 or 1:2. If you need to cover the wall, measure the width of the wall.
Cut the fabric. Cut the fabric according to the window size and fold ratio, leaving an appropriate margin during cutting to fold the edges at the bottom and both sides of the curtain. At the same time, make a deeper rolled edge at the top of the curtain to thread the curtain lines.
Dye patterns. Lay fabric on wooden boards or white paper, use sponges like rubber and dye to print patterns on the fabric, and pay attention to keeping the fabric clean and the patterns clear during the printing process.
Sew edges. Align the edges of two pieces of fabric, sew them with fine stitches, and wrap and fix them with silk thread every certain distance (such as three stitches) to create multiple circular structures, making the curtains more sturdy.
Install tracks or Roman poles. Choose the appropriate track or Roman pole according to the size of the window or wall, and install it on the wall. If necessary, lace or other decorative elements can also be added.
Inspection and installation. After completing all the steps, check the integrity and aesthetics of the curtains to ensure that all threads are cut clean, then hang them up and adjust them to the appropriate height and position.
These steps cover the entire process from material preparation to the final installation of curtains and can be adjusted according to personal preferences and needs.
