Lets start at the beginning:

Step ladders: Make sure that a steady pair of steps are not too short, so that you achieve more. The arms will drop of before you taken your first lesson, like curtains hanging. Not too big that you can not easily reached the window, without throwing out the side to hang curtains in the balance.

Curtain hooks for standard pencil pleat curtain tape

Curtain hooks make Againsafely before you start thinking that you have enough of the right kind of curtain hooks

Light curtain is well equipped with standard plastic hooks.

Moderate use nylon curtain hooks, is stronger than plastic. They will flex without breaking.

Heavy curtains use nickel-metal hooks, they are a little tricky to handle all of them together holding a box. Like the Chinese puzzle I had as a child.

Curtain hooks for curtains bucram top

Youhave the so-called "pin hook", just because they have a sharp pin that has pierced through the tissue and bucram on the back of the curtain header. This kind of position is looking for the best curtains. As always, the best of all possibilities, costs a bit more.

An extra pair of hands

If you learn how large or heavy curtains, it is very useful to have hanging around someone to hold the ground under the weight of the curtain. So you canhang the curtain on your track or rod with ease.

How many hooks do you need?

Good for standard curtains with pencil pleat tape is a hook every 4th Pocket required.

For bucram headed curtains you will receive 1 must-have for every wrinkle or cup and for any purpose.

Preparing your bucram conducted prior to hanging curtains.

The good news, other than putting in the PIN they occurred Hook 1 / 2 inches from the top of your curtain. There is noprepping to do. You just have to learn how to hang curtains and dress them properly.

You prepping your pencil pleat curtains before hanging:

Start standard pencil pleat curtains, you have to gather the ribbon at the top of your curtains. They do this by using the 3 cables from the back of the curtain tape. To start dragging up the cable from both ends of the curtain tape and tie them firmly in a knot.

There are 2 reasons forthis

1st It sounds to pull the rope completely out of the band (not a good start when learning, such as curtains hang).

2nd It keeps the cords together at the end that you pull out the cords to gather your curtain.

Then you go to pull the cable. Simply head for the purchase of curtains. Take a series of knotted ropes and hooks over a doorknob or other fixed object. Then with one hand holding the curtain tape and start using the other handpull the tape off the door handle. You begin to see the location of folds of the curtain.

How far you have curtains?

First, consider what half the width of the track or rod action. Take your length is 100 cm long. You half to 50 inches, then add to 2 inches, so your curtains meet comfortably in the middle when hanging. Thus, the finished width you collect any of your children's curtains 52 inches. The more you learn howCurtains, hanging is the more second nature.

Before you hang curtains ... Stop and check!

Before your curtain, you should put your curtain on a table or on the floor and check the accumulated width was hanging Start is about right. Then, when the close, then pull the belt a little. If the general will gather in the band a little more.

What about the excess cord?

Finally, sorting out that all the excess cable and evening until the wrinkles in theTie. DO NOT Cut the cords! The best solution is to bundle the cord by wrapping them around all your fingers then do a slip-knot around the bundle. So you can in the future, to change the header band should want.

After the strings turn out to be sorted through the curtain. You need to look at the lines and try it yourself. Just do it in about this time, because to move when you come around the wrinkles, they are still hanging a little.

Last job before hanging yourCurtains

All most there, before you have your curtain, the curtain hanging hook to put the bags on the back of the tape. On most standard pencil pleat tape, there are 3 pockets upper, middle and bottom.

Like curtains hanging from a rod or pole

When hanging from a rod or stick your curtain hooks set in the upper pocket. Also note the number of rings on your rod or pole. This determines the number of hooks you into the curtainTie. The rule of thumb: You use less hook on a rod or pole to track than on a curtain. On a line a hook laid each 4th Pocket and on a rod or ror every 6 to 8 pockets.

Hanging from a track?

If you hung a curtain track curtain hooks come in the middle or bottom pocket bag. This allows to cover the curtain, when the track closed. To decide which bag to use to try one and see what looks like hang your curtains. If yourthen do very much, the other curtain. If not happy, move the curtain hooks to adjust upwards or downwards.

The 1 Step in the hanging

Many people say you should always first your curtains hang from the ends of the line or rod and the work in the middle. I do not agree, I say, you should always start from the middle and towards the outside to the ends. The reason I advise you to do so, because if you

too many sailors on the track, or too many rings onyour rod, you can quite simply remove it from the ends of the track or rod. Where to start if you are from outside in the middle of the surplus gliders or rings in the middle of the track or rod locked. Important that you unhang your curtains to remove them. Not much more now and get the basics of how to have hanging curtains.

Why do some advise to start from the middle?

The reason is corded on lines and poles, but especially the kind. They have so-calledOverlapping arms. These are short arms of metal or plastic bottles with holes in the last couple of curtain hooks on the leading edge of each pair of curtains (edges) meet in the middle of the window. Theses overlapping arms will allow a curtain to go and the other curtain overlap of 2 or 3 inches. To give you total privacy.

So, what is the big problem?

And where is the problem? The problem is that these weapons are not very strong. This means that when you start tohang a medium to heavy curtains. Above all, without someone carrying the weight they sag and twist or break completely.

Avoid the problem!

How can we avoid that hang in the middle of the line or rod and working conditions abroad. Quite simple really, if you have 2 hooks in the arm overlap then count in the 3rd Hooks and hook to go in this first real glider or ring. End of the 1st 2nd curtain hooks and hang only in space. They continue to dependCurtain goes from the center outwards. It's like hanging curtains, my way (at best, of course, "Wink")

Then, when the ends of the track or rod reached (the disposal of surplus gliders or rings). Go back to the middle and hook in the last curtain hooks into the arms overlap. To avoid putting too much weight on them.

Well, I hope you've picked a few "tips on" hang like curtains. This is only the first stage. Next, the "Dressing is" theYour curtains.

Make Simple Curtains and Valance for any Window

For a quick set of curtains and a valance is something that you can do, even if you do not have much experience sewing. It's just a matter of thinking through the process and for the calculation of the required material and knowing how to use a sewing machine too.

Tools needed: calculator, pencil and paper, tape measure, yard stick, pins, scissors, iron, thread and sewing machine.

Decide what color or pattern will work best with your room décor now. Going to the fabric store is always amy time's most fun, I think my imagination open and get swatches of fabrics (and prices) will see the first time, are what all my options. Take swatches home and start to eliminate by next large parts of the already decorated room (couch, chairs, tables, walls, etc.). Once you have decided on your fabric start measuring.

To measure material to decide how long you will be the valance. Where you are the curtains at the window? Will you do them caféStyle or halfway down the window? Maybe you only want a small gap between the valance and curtain, use your imagination, draw a sketch from the window and get some placements, to see what looks good.

If you (make these decisions, actions in the upper reference point to the top of window, top of rod) down to where the valance to end. Add additional 7 "for the upper and lower edge of this (you will be by 3" for top hem, the staff and go 4) "for the bottom hem.Suppose you want your valance to 10 long, add 7 "for the federal government and you have 17". Now measure for your bottom curtains. The same applies here, measure from top reference point (where your curtains will start) to just under below or above the sill. Add the 7 "to this length. Example: 32 "bottom curtain length is 7" = 39 ". Write down everything. Molding for the width measurement in a window from outside to outside. Depending on how" full "you want the curtains to bethe deciding factor on how much material you buy. Normal fullness recommendation would be twice the width of the window, or at least half again as much. We become "basic", let's say a normal window is 36 "on X 60" length. That means you must not forget to calculate double the width of the valance and curtains, but the curtains are split down the middle. Most material will run 36 "- 44" (regular material) to 60 "(drapery & upholstery material) in width. If youa web width of 36 "- 44", it will be easier to use simply doubled the width. If there is a wide cut a little off the ends if necessary.

Now it is time to go to get your material! Take your Swatch, sketch and measurements with you! I would recommend a fabric that is easily shaped, with (cotton, cloth, work, etc.). Do you have to store your materials, sales staff assist you in calculating the amount, and provide you with all details, especially if it's a design a certain way or hasnap. Should in most cases, 3-3 ½ m more than enough for each window.

Pre-wash the material if you choose. If you do not pre-wash material and wash the curtains later expecting them to have the same length, you will be surprised! If you've already washed your material, take it out of dryer, fold in half, wrong side out (if we may say), as previously from the camp of the screw, and place it on your surface and smooth it out ( table, floor, etc.). Do the same for all widths of material, which ismake it easier to handle. You can contact with iron.

Time to mark the fabric and cut! Your material is now created () not many wrinkles. You should get a straight line at the top of your scale. Mark a straight line with a pencil in the upper (darker when material is the spring for work or even chalk if you have it). Eyeball to ensure it to, it looks even sometimes the chemical product is not cut so it's up to you. This will be your starting reference point (thisis a cut line) for you. Get your calculations for the length of each: valance and curtain. Now measure from the straight line down for valance length needed, this twice, because it must be for fullness (unless 60 "width fabric) be doubled. Make a mark. Repeat the folding process in the middle and on the edge. Now put on your yardstick from brand to brand and draw a line (this is also a section line). Do the same for curtains. Each curtain side gets its own track(unless) 60 "width fabric. Grab a couple of pins and pin just inside the edges and lines of each section highlighted. Cut along lines. They should cut 4 pieces, 2 for the valance and 2 for each curtain on this side.

Went back to Mark, this time on the right side of the fabric. Open your pieces right side of the material on, put them straight, with a pencil, lightly mark 3 "from the bottom straight to the top of each piece, make several marks. Use scale to connect brandsa straight line. Do the same on the bottom, 4 "up from straight edge. Mark 1" on both side edges of each piece. Select all the pieces. Ensure that all brands are readily placed on the outside of the fabric, but dark enough so you can see them. Volant sewing together two pieces, making it a long piece. Press seam flat. Fold under side edges of all pieces turning under ½ "twice (is 1" all together, pencil line should be on outside edges), press & stitch along inside folded edge. Pressup hems to inside resources to all selected rows. Fold them under ½ of width and press again. Stitch along that folded edge on the inside. Holding fabric, as you surely do not constitute material pile stitch. You should have a 2 "hem for each piece and a 1 ½" for top hem covenant have to curtain rods with foil. Be sure to backstitch when they start, embroidery and sewing step to the end of coming out.

Viola, there you have it! This procedure should onlytakes about 1 ½ hours. Insert the rod through the upper station of the curtains. Put up valance and curtains.
