In one among our elective categories we were asked to make some furniture that we might use in our homes.

An acquaintance of mine determined to form a lampshade, while I am stuck to the concept of creating a little low table.

However then apparently I would have to drop the concept as I am not that adept in carpentry.

Therefore I decided to ask my mom concerning it and he or she smilingly told me that she could facilitate me create my own Roman Blinds.

I asked her why Roman Blinds?

She told me that blinds are terribly simple to make. Alternative than it's one thing that one can be terribly inventive in. Apart from being trendy and chic in design it's additionally terribly affordable.

It is terribly simple she said all you would like to own are the following:

For the material you'll would like Strips of picket or plastic dowelling (1.25" or 3cms less than the blind's width). With this you'll be able to opt for from a number of colors and designs. My mom selected to own a light inexperienced color she told me that the color green makes one feel at peace.

The subsequent thing that you'd need for the liner are little plastic rings (0.5" 125mm diameter approx). this is often to create the neat folds in the blinds and would enable it to be hoisted upwards.

For the wire my mom chose to have a nylon cord (three lengths every one being 1.5 * length of blind + width of blind). This is those used to raise the curtain and where the rings will be attached.

Velcro (touch and close fastening) or ornamental pins.

Wooden Batten approx 1 inch (2.5cms) square. To secure the blinds on the wall (but after all we tend to don't would like that as I am submitting this to my class)

Eventually we have a tendency to were able to form the Blinds and I was in a position to submit it to my class.

I got a sensible grade and also a thought to making my own Roman Blinds. Right currently I create lots of Roman blinds but with pop art styles from Andy Warhols to Picasso.
