Pleasures with Making a Beaded Curtain

If you try to look around your home, perhaps you can find many types of beads. They are probably remnants of damaged necklaces, earrings and bracelets, or excesses from your child's school project. Anyway, you can actually create a beaded curtain out of those loose beads.

On your vacant time - while the baby is asleep or the kids are at school - you can perform some creative work. Making a beaded curtain is simple; you only need a thread or string, beads, curtain rod, curtain rod brackets, eye hooks, a ruler and a pencil. With these ready, begin by measuring the length of a doorway or window where you want the curtain to be placed. Mark the rod with a pencil where the eyehooks must be placed and screw in the hooks accordingly. Next, cut the length of the string into several pieces at least two inches longer than your desired curtain length so you have room for tying ends. Tie a knot at one end of the string - this will be the bottom end of the curtain strand. Thread the beads into the string, and once the line is full, tie a knot to secure the beads. Attach each beaded string or curtain strand onto the eyehooks connected to the rod. Once there are enough curtain strands on the rod, install the curtain and the brackets appropriately on the doorway or window.

Beaded curtains are great to conceal spaces or surfaces; they are also used to replace wood doors and fabric curtains. They separate rooms with just the right mix of privacy and openness. If you make your own, it will automatically induce an ambience full of colour and character, as well as uniqueness.
