• What can be cooked from squid: quick and tasty

    Anyone who has ever thought about the interior of their home has noticed how important accessories that combine utility and attractiveness play in it. Tiebacks for curtains are just such an attribute of the furnishings: using curtains with them will become more convenient, and the room will receive another bright touch. They can be made in the form of hard holders or soft fabric products attached to ready-made curtains. However, a more interesting option would be not to buy factory products, but to make them yourself. So you can match them to the design of a particular room and emphasize your taste and personality.

    Types of pickups and materials used

    These accessories have several functions:

    • first of all, they hold the curtains so that sunlight penetrates into the room;
    • decorative: making up an ensemble with curtains and lambrequins, they improve the overall appearance of the room;
    • they can visually change the shape of the window opening: when they are located in the upper third of the curtain, the window appears higher, and in the lower third, wider;
    • with their help, it also becomes possible to partially hide the old ugly window sill.

    Pickups are made in different versions.

    The holders must match the curtains themselves. The same (or contrasting color) fabric is used, the same decorative elements: fringe, tassels, cords, etc. The general style should also match.

    The appearance of this accessory depends on the style and materials of the curtains and the design of the room:

    • fabric hooks are suitable for classic curtains;
    • magnetic pickups will be good choice for light curtains, for example, tulle, lace, sewn from organza, and lace, braid, cords, ribbons, beads and beads, etc .;
    • monochromatic tiebacks are suitable for patterned curtains, while they can be additionally decorated with flowers, beads, embroidery, kanzashi-style decorations, etc.;
    • hard hooks are usually in the form of a buckle or ring and are more suitable for thicker curtains in more modern styles.

    With hand-made grabs, even ready-made curtains get a more personal and stylish look. At the same time, it is important to choose the right size so that the grip does not hold too tight or too loose. Then the fabric will drape beautifully.

    How to make a do-it-yourself curtain pickup - step-by-step instructions with a photo

    Here are some pretty interesting pickups. Some are more difficult to manufacture, while others do not even require sewing skills.

    Magnetic products

    Magnetic holders are convenient in that they do not require additional hooks on the wall - the curtains can be grabbed with them anywhere. Such accessories for curtains are made of fabric, with a cord, braid and other decorative elements.

    In the manufacture, such components are used here as:

    • fabric, cord or cable, beads - for the main part, which may be different;
    • magnets - 2 for each pickup;
    • hot glue and glue gun;
    • bows, ribbons, buttons, various metal decorative elements, shells or small flat stones in the case of a room in nautical style- to decorate the product.

    Magnets are sold at craft stores. The required size depends on the severity of the future pickup and the thickness of the curtains. The heavier the grab and the thicker the curtain, the more powerful (and, therefore, more) the magnet should be.

    Concise, convenient and simple - such features of this type of accessories are very attractive

    Step-by-step master class:

    1. A strong braid or cord of a suitable length is taken. If there is fabric left after sewing curtains, you can sew stripes from it.
    2. A magnet is attached to each end with hot glue (from the wrong side). First, you need to make sure that the magnets on one pickup will be attracted to each other, and not repelled.
    3. On the front side, if desired, the holders are additionally decorated. Beads, ribbons, braid are sewn on, embroidery is done. Small decorative elements are attached to the magnets.

    If it fits into the decor of the room, you can stick on rhinestones and sequins. Holders with quality artificial flowers sometimes look good.

    There are also more complex decoration options.

    From beads

    It is quite simple in execution, but stylish and effective option. In the manufacture, they use both beads, matched to the color and texture of the curtains, and just old unnecessary jewelry.

    For work you will need:

    • soft durable cord (better than rope weaving);
    • fishing line;
    • wire;
    • beads, beads, bugles, etc .;
    • scissors.

    Materials must be selected so that the grips are the same. Glass, wood, plastic, metal and other decorations can be used. Depending on this, the hooks are obtained in different styles.

    The combination of a decorative cord and color-matched beads looks quite impressive

    Step by step process:

    1. Cut off about 50 cm of wire or fishing line. It folds in half, and a central bead is put on it. The wire is twisted in several turns. An identical bead is strung at both ends. This is repeated several times. Then, by twisting, the ends of the wire are fastened.
    2. They are threaded through the cord and secured. It turns out a suspension. You need to make several of these, placing them at a short distance from each other. The same is repeated for the second curtain.
    3. In addition to the tassels, the cord is decorated with a braid. To do this, a long line is wrapped several times at the base of the cord and secured. Then beads and / or bugles are strung on it, close to the tone of the cord or in contrasting colors.
    4. The fishing line is wrapped around the cord, secured with threads of a suitable color. Then its end is attached in the same way as the beginning.

    This piece of jewelry looks good with or without beaded tassels.

    There is also an easier option. A good curtain holder is made from old long beads. One end of it is thrown onto a special hook. Beads must be strung on a strong fishing line, as a regular thread will not support the weight of the curtain. You can also additionally decorate such a hold-up with old keys, pendants, etc.

    Thus, unnecessary jewelry turns into a useful accessory.

    From cord (macrame)

    Macrame is a type of knot weaving. Decorative napkins are often made using this technique, but hooks made in this style look original and elegant.

    Such hooks are woven from thick ropes.

    You will need:

    • jute, linen rope or thin rope of both natural tones and dyed - only 24 pieces of cord about 2.5 meters long, two or three colors are possible, in harmony with each other and with curtains;
    • a pillow for needles;
    • button to secure the pattern.

    This type of product requires the least types of materials.

    Step by step execution:

    1. Curtain holders are woven in flat knots. The cords are folded together and folded in half to find the midpoint of the lengths. It is attached to the pillow with pins. 5 flat knots are made from a third of the threads to either side (left or right). Then the pad is turned and the same number of knots are made, but in the opposite direction (that is, right or left).
    2. The knots are folded to form a loop. If weaving is made of threads different colors, the cords of the used color are hidden in the middle of the bundle, and two knots are made with pieces of a different color for fixing. For this, 8 cords are used.
    3. All cords are divided into three parts. Flat knots are braided from each part. For the extreme ones you need 7–8, and for the middle ones - 5–6 knots. Then they are connected together and fixed again with two knots. It turns out a link in the chain.
    4. Weaving continues to the desired length. At the end, it is fixed in the same way, with two flat knots. The ends of the cord can be left to create a beautiful brush. A button is sewn on. Its size should match the diameter of the first loop.

    It is not necessary to strictly adhere to the instructions. You can take more or less threads, then the grip will become thicker or narrower. When the number of nodes in the links changes, their size changes. The main thing is that the overall appearance of the product is in harmony with the curtain.

    This option will give the room an ethnic character.

    From fabric

    This option is suitable for curtains in classic style... Fabric grips are made in different shapes. Such crescent-shaped tie-backs drape the curtains beautifully. At the same time, the material is collected in beautiful folds and does not deform.

    • scissors;
    • threads;
    • glue;
    • beads (optional);
    • thin wire (also optional).

      • by magnetic holder;
      • tissue;
      • or hard.
    2. To make flowers, ribbons and fabric are cut into squares. The diagonal of such a square is slightly more than the length of the petal. For example, the dimensions can be 3x3, 5x5 cm, etc.
    3. The edges of the resulting squares are carefully processed with a lighter or a wood burning tool. So they will not crumble. Then these squares are folded according to the pattern and fastened with a thread.
    4. Flowers are made from the finished petals, also fastened with a thread. In their middle, you can stick a bead or rhinestone, make "stamens" from wire.

    • floss threads for face embroidery;
    • beads, buttons, etc .;
    • magnets for fasteners;
    • from the tools you need needles and scissors.

    2. Details need to be sewn with small neat stitches, leaving small holes. Then the parts are turned inside out and packed tightly. For convenience, the filler can be pushed into the hands and feet with Chinese chopsticks. After filling, the hole is closed with a blind seam (except for the neck). In order not to knock out the filler, it is better to use a needle-back seam. Then the parts are sewn together. Legs and arms should be symmetrical. It is advisable to turn the head to the side. Then the fairy will look into the room, and not hide her face in the curtain.
    3. Eyes (closed) and lips are embroidered on the finished face. Hair is made from threads. They are pulled through the head tissue and then cut to the desired length.
    4. The dress is made from ribbon and small pieces of fabric. For example, you can take two trapezoidal shapes. From above they are cut in a semicircle, and from below they are made wavy or remain straight. The pieces are applied to the toy and sewn together. Ribbon ties are attached at the top. The legs are either left barefoot or wrapped with tape so that they look like pointe shoes. You can make and sew on wings.
    5. For attachment to the hands, magnets are glued or ribbons are tied. Depending on the width of the curtain and the density of the fabric, you will need one or two fairies for each. In the latter case, the couple's hands are neatly sewn together.

    With a dress, hair and wings, she looks really magical.

If the large window is decorated with heavy curtains, the holder should easily accommodate the collected textiles. For light kitchen curtains, you will need a more modest pickup.

    The degree of desired lighting is taken into account. Holders that leave the curtain in a half-closed position contribute to good shading and are suitable for a bedroom or a room that faces the sun. A room on the north side, small in size, needs bright light, so the holder is selected with the ability to select the curtain as much as possible.

    Method four

    Pickups in the form of soft toys will become a bright decoration of the children's room. There are several use cases. The stuffed toy can be wall-mounted. Sew a ribbon with a loop on one paw, and a button on the other. When the curtain needs to be fixed, the toy will seem to hang on the curtain.

    The second option is that no wall mounting is required. It is convenient for light toys that will not slide down, but additional fixation on textiles with threads will not hurt. Animals with long legs look interesting, which do not need additional decoration with a ribbon.

    When creating an interior in a romantic style, where the curtains are made of light flowing fabrics, holders made of silk and nylon ribbons will be an appropriate addition. Tie-ups with ruffles in the form of tutu skirts, decorated with mesh bows, will organically fit here.

    Gently bending around the canvas, the holder perfectly drapes the curtain, leaving no creases and bends on it

    An ethnic interior or a country-style room will be complemented by holders with embroidery or knitted elements.

    Holders with magnets are the best for decorating curtains that are not too dense. The accessory looks like a fabric strip or lace, the ends of which are connected by two decorative magnets.

    To give the lambrequins waviness, the magnets are placed several in a row

    Holders in the form of large hairpins or door handles look no less impressive. They can be made in a simple laconic design and not stand out against the background of curtains, or be a real work of art.

    Devices with figures of butterflies and birds frozen for a moment will bring notes of freshness and lightness to the room

    There are more than a dozen options for holders on sale. Wanting to create a single ensemble of room decoration, the main thing when choosing an accessory is to use motives that resonate with furniture decor and the decoration of pillows and blankets.

    Curtain Holders Manufacturing Techniques

    Tiebacks for curtains, like any accessories, can be purchased at the store, or made on your own. Making curtain hooks with your own hands is a great opportunity to embody the most unexpected ideas, revealing your creative potential.

    Grips from discs

    The original accessory can be made from computer disks. To do this, a circle with a diameter of 1-1.5 cm less than the outer edge is drawn on the disk with the help of a compass.

    You can cut a circle using clerical scissors or a file.

    The ring formed during the sawing process will act as a blank for the future holder. Removing burrs from the ring will help to clean the surface with a file or fine-grained sandpaper.

    To decorate the ring, it is wrapped with a satin ribbon.

    You can use satin ribbons with a width of 5 to 12 mm. Before the start of braiding, so that the edges of the tape do not bloom, they are singed with a lighted match. You can fix the ends of the tape with hot glue and "moment".

    Ready-made flowers, rhinestones, sparkles or beads can act as a decoration of the circle.

    When wrapping and tightening the tape tightly, a uniform pattern should be formed, maintaining the same distance between the strips.

    You can use a regular knitting needle or a wooden sushi stick to attach the clip.

    To use such a clamp, you need to stretch a circle at the place of fixing the curtain, and start a knitting needle from the back. Thanks to this, the disc fixed with a spoke will not slip on the fabric.

    Holders from soft toys

    Such accessories are perfect for decorating children's rooms. The principle of the pick-up is that the toy will wrap its paws around the canvas, giving it the desired position.

    To create a functional decoration, it is best to use small toys with long legs or tails: monkeys, crocodiles, seahorses

    To fix the toy on the canvas, you can sew auxiliary elements to it: loops, buttons or laces.

    A loop of a rubber band is sewn onto one paw of the toy, a button of the corresponding size is sewn on the second.

    Compositions of pairs of animals that wrap around the curtain on both sides look interesting, as if climbing up it to the ceiling.

    Magnetic catches

    To make an accessory you will need:

    • paired number of magnets;
    • a piece of fabric or tape for connecting elements;
    • additional decorative ornaments.

    Choice decorative ornaments limited only by the preferences of the master: dry leaves, textile flowers, beads, rhinestones, key rings

    To sew a strip for curtains with your own hands, it will do simplest pattern details: rectangle 30 cm long and 12 cm wide. If desired, the corners of the rectangle can be rounded.

    Important! When transferring the paper pattern to the canvas, do not forget to leave 1 cm from the edge for allowances.

    The tape or the selected piece of fabric should be made of dense material. Thanks to this, the product will retain its shape under the weight of the suspended fabric.

    To give the product more rigidity, a plastic strip or a piece of non-woven fabric can be placed inside between the pieces of fabric

    Having joined the edges of the two patterns, the workpiece is sewn on the wrong side. After that, turn it onto the front side. With the help of hot glue, magnets are fixed to it.

    You can decorate the magnets using a cut of fabric, wrapping them from the outside and fixing them with PVA glue

    Attention! Keep in mind that if the magnets have the same poles, then when connected, they will repel each other. The situation can be corrected by turning one of the magnets 180 °.

    By using magnetic clips, it is easy to make the curtains more visible and expressive, and the interior design is lively and elegant.
