Original do-it-yourself blinds. How to make blinds with your own hands: step-by-step instructions with photos. The advantages of vertical blinds are

Blinds installed on windows are practically a curtain that not only protects the room from sun rays, but also a decoration of the room, perfectly complementing its interior.

Buying blinds in a store will not be cheap. But homemade blinds will not require large expenses - both material and time.

Today on the market there are very wide choose blinds made from a wide variety of materials.

To make the blinds fit more organically into the interior of the apartment, it is best to make them yourself. Making window blinds with your own hands is quite simple. The huge advantage is the savings. Money. The easiest way to make homemade blinds is based on fabric, thin slats of wood or thick cardboard; the technology for their production is simple.

Products made from fabric are practically no worse than the magnificent curtains that can be purchased at the shopping center.

Fabric roller blinds

If you want to escape the scorching sun, then you should choose a denser fabric for blinds.

To make roller blinds yourself, you will need following materials and tool:

• pieces of fabric of the required color - 2 pcs.;
• strips of fabric for garters;
• rail round section 2 cm in diameter made of wood;
• a block of wood, measuring 2.5 x 2.5 cm;
• self-tapping screws;
• stapler;
• crosshead screwdriver;
• roulette;
• pencil;
• sewing accessories.

First of all, you need to accurately measure the dimensions of the window frame. To obtain the length of the canvas, add 10 cm to the internal height of the window, and 2 cm as a reserve. To obtain the width size, add 2 cm to the frame width.

To make the canvas, two pieces of fabric are folded together inside out and the edges are sewn on both sides. The sewn fabric is turned outward, the gap is sewn up and the fabric is smoothed.

For attaching the canvas to window frame a block of wood is used, one cm long less than the width of the blinds.

The stitched fabric is spread on the wrong side. At a distance of 5 cm from the top edge, a block is applied, covered with fabric, and the canvas is secured with a stapler.

To ensure that the unfolded fabric stretches well and folds neatly, a round strip is inserted into its lower edge. To do this, you need to make a pocket at the bottom. The lower edge of the fabric is folded over about three centimeters, its edge is stitched, the fabric is ironed, and a strip is inserted into the resulting pocket.

Cardboard blinds are suitable for offices and other non-residential premises.

To secure the blinds when rolled up, garters are sewn to them. They are made from strips of fabric about two centimeters wide. Their length should be 30 cm greater than the double length of the window opening. Strips of fabric are stitched along the long and short sides, then turned inside out and smoothed.

The made garters at the top of the curtain are attached to the beam with a stapler.

The canvas with a block and self-tapping screws is attached to the top of the window frame, the fabric blinds are ready for use.

Wooden slate blinds

Blinds made from wooden slats are very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing; they decorate the window opening and fit well into the interior of the room.

Wood products have long term services, do not require special care and are environmentally friendly.

To make them from wood, you must have:

1. Thin strips of wood about 40 mm wide, 4 mm thick and a length equal to the width of the window.
2. Strong thread.
3. Electric drill.
4. Self-tapping screws.
5. Stain and varnish.

Wooden blinds have a long service life and do not require careful maintenance.

First of all, you need to take measurements of the window and its sketch. For the canvas covering the window, you need to purchase thin strips of wood with a length equal to the width of the window opening. The number of slats should be such that when unfolded they cover the surface of the window. To do this, you need to divide the height of the window by the width of one plate, thus obtaining the required number of plates.

1. The prepared planks must be treated with fine sandpaper and covered with stain and varnish to give the desired color.
2. After the coating has completely dried, three holes with a diameter of about 2 mm are drilled in each plank. Two holes at the ends of the plank at the very edge. One hole in the center of the bar at the opposite edge.
3. Strong threads are inserted into the outer holes, 20 cm longer than the height of the window. A thread twice the height of the window is inserted into the central hole.
4. At the ends of the threads we securely fasten the bottom bar.
5. Then, knots are tied on the threads, at a distance of approximately 3.5 cm, larger than the holes in the slats. A second strip is hung on the thread, knots are tied again, and so on until a canvas equal to the height of the window is assembled.
6. Having collected all the canvas, you need to secure the side threads in the upper part of the window frame. Fasten the central thread at the top so that when it relaxes, they close or open slightly.
7. Care wooden blinds. Dust from the horizontal plates is removed with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner. If they are heavily soiled, you can wash them with soapy water, then wipe with a cloth and dry.

Thick cardboard blinds

To make cardboard blinds you will need:

• a piece of thick cardboard larger than the window opening;
• a long ruler or even strip;
• electric drill;
• sharp knife;
• screws;
• large needle;
• paper clips or bobby pins.

1. The window is measured and 50 cm is added to its height.
2. The size of the folds of the canvas is taken equal to half the depth of the window. If the window is 10 cm deep, then the size of the folds will be 5 cm. Horizontal lines 5 cm wide are drawn on the prepared sheet. A ruler is applied to the lines, and the lines are pressed with the blunt side so as not to damage the cardboard.
3. The sheet is folded along the extruded lines and turned over to the reverse side.
4. On the other side, the same markings are applied and the lines are extruded with the blunt side of a knife. A sheet of cardboard is folded like a fan, and zigzag edges of the canvas are obtained.
5. The resulting fan is compressed tightly, through holes are drilled along its edges, passing through all the folds. Strong twine is threaded into the resulting holes. Loops are made at the upper and lower ends of the twine.
6. Two screws are screwed into the upper and lower parts of the frame, and
7. the canvas is attached to them.
8. Excess folds are removed using hairpins or paper clips.

Blinds made in this way are best used in non-residential premises.

Blinds installed on the window visually expand the space of the room, they reliably protect the room from the sun and decorate the room . Do-it-yourself products allow you to save a decent amount in the family budget.

It is not always convenient to use curtains. In some cases, blinds are more practical and convenient. They make it possible not only to protect yourself from immodest glances in the evenings, but also to regulate the level of illumination during the day by turning the slats (plates). We will talk about how to install blinds on plastic windows in this publication.

Designs and installation methods

There are two types of blinds for windows - vertical and horizontal. Vertical slats are usually made of plastic or special dense fabric, cut into strips 10-15 cm wide. Less commonly, you can find slats made of aluminum or synthetic threads.

The slats of horizontal blinds come in plastic, wood and metal. Regardless of the type and material, they consist of a cornice and slats. Cornice - plastic or aluminum profile U-shaped section in which the controls are located and from which the lamellas are suspended. Lamels are horizontal or vertical stripes/plates that actually cover the opening. In order to be able to open and close the blinds, there are controls - chains or threads.

In horizontal models there is also a control rod associated with rotating mechanism. By rotating the rod, the angle of inclination of the lamellas is changed. This is how you can change the amount of light and the “degree of transparency” of the window. If the slats are placed vertically (almost), they completely block the view. When positioned horizontally, they hardly interfere with the view, but there are many other positions.

The device of horizontal and vertical blinds

When installing blinds, you need to attach the cornice. To fix it, the kit includes specially designed brackets. These brackets are attached to the window or wall, and the cornice is simply put on them (until it clicks).

There are several ways to install blinds on sash windows:

You will have to decide on the method of installing the blinds before purchasing: the size of the canvas depends on this. So the type of installation must be chosen before taking measurements.

We take measurements

You need to decide on the type of blinds (horizontal, vertical) and the method of installing them (on a wall, on a ceiling, in a sash window, in a window opening) before purchasing. And even before you start measuring. Because under different way installation required different sizes. Only with correct measurements will it be easy to install blinds on plastic windows.

Another important point: Each window must be measured separately. Sometimes it just seems like they are absolutely the same. Believe me, there is a difference. You also need to write down the measurement results and sign which specific window you measured and which sash it is. Accurate and detailed records will help avoid confusion during purchase and installation.

In the window opening

Though appearance products are different, when measuring there is no difference between horizontal and vertical models. If you are going to install blinds in a window opening, you need to subtract 2 cm from its width on each side. You can subtract 1-3 cm from the height of the opening. Such gaps are needed so that the canvas hangs freely in the opening and the lower edge of the slats does not rub against the window sill.

Please note that you can install blinds on plastic windows “into the opening” not flush with the edge of the opening, but deeper - near the glass itself or by stepping back 5 or more centimeters from the edge. If the opening has a trapezoidal shape, the height/width of the opening will be smaller for the glass, so we take careful measurements. And also, in this case, it is better to put marks for installation when measuring. Then you will know exactly where you will need to install blinds on plastic windows so that their dimensions fit perfectly.

On the ceiling or wall

Here the measurements depend on your desires. The length of the blinds can be up to the floor or just up to the window sill. Moreover, depending on the chosen type of installation, the slats can cover the window sill or not. So the length is whatever you like.

This is wall mounting. When mounted on the ceiling, the length will increase, but how much is up to you

The width of the blinds with this installation method is wider than the window opening. How much wider depends on your desire, but the minimum offset is 5 cm on each side. But if the window is in the same plane as the wall surface, you will need additional brackets, which are not included in the package: the slats must be placed at a distance of at least 5 cm from the glass surface so that they do not interfere with opening the doors for ventilation.

On the doors

When installing blinds on a multi-leaf window, there are two options - install one device on each sash or order one long one for the entire window. Usually the first option is chosen - it makes it possible to open and close the shutters with the blinds lowered. If you choose this installation method, you will need to measure each sash and record the results. The doors may be different, so be careful.

The width of the blinds when installed on the shutters is taken to be 3 cm wider than the glass. When hanging, the lamellas overlap the profile by 1.5 cm. This is convenient and does not interfere with opening/closing windows. The length depends on the location of the fastener, but usually it is 5 cm longer than the height of the glass.

Once again we draw your attention: we measure each sash!

How to install blinds on plastic windows: attach to a wall or window opening

The first step is to apply markings. We install brackets in the cornice. We place them on the right and left so that they do not interfere with the operation of the blinds. The installation height depends on the selected product length.

We attach the curtains, mark with a pencil on the wall the places for installing fasteners in the brackets. If we mount horizontal blinds(they are light and create almost no load), it is enough to install one screw/dowel. Vertical ones are heavier, so you need to install all the fasteners from the kit.

There is a second way. At the selected level using building level draw a horizontal line, try to avoid tilting - this will affect the blinds (skew). Place the bottom of the bracket against this line and use a pencil to mark the holes for drilling. If the length of the cornice is more than 2 m, an additional bracket is required to increase the rigidity of the structure, which is attached in the middle.

When attaching to brick or concrete, drill holes in the wall or ceiling at the marked points. A drill or a hammer drill - whoever has what is available. The diameter of the drill depends on the size of the dowels. They usually come included, but you can supply your own.

We insert spacer dowels into the finished holes and carefully hammer them in with a hammer. We install the brackets, fasten them with screws or nails (if dowel-nails are used). We install the cornice on the brackets, insert the plugs on the sides. For horizontal blinds, attach a rod (handle) to control the swing mechanism. To do this, install a special hook (included) directly into the mechanism itself, and attach the tip of the rod to this hook.

Installation of horizontal blinds on PVC window sashes

With this installation method, the blinds are attached with small self-tapping screws (included in the kit) to the window profile. They must be installed so that they do not interfere with the handle turning. Be careful: if you drill too close to the bead, you can damage the glass unit. Therefore, in this case, correct measurements are very important.

Installation step by step

The procedure is as follows:

Having to drill holes in a window frame can be intimidating, but it's no big deal. In case of incorrectly made holes, the unsuccessful ones can be filled with sealant. White silicone, not acrylic (acrylic quickly turns yellow). The performance of the windows will not be affected. What can be dangerous is getting into a double glazed window. Then it may crack. But this is not fatal either - it can be replaced, although it will not be cheap.

We install the lower clamps

But that is not all. To finally install horizontal blinds on plastic windows, you need to drill a couple more holes for the clamps (also called anti-wind). These are additional fastenings at the bottom of the opening window sash. The lower edge of the blinds is tucked into them. They do this so that when ventilating, the blinds do not hang down, dangle in the wind, or knock over objects on the windowsill.

Don't hang out...

We install the clamps like this: we try it on, pulling the blinds down a little, mark the fastening points, drill holes, and install. We tuck the bottom bar into the installed clamps. Now, even with a draft or an open shutter, the blinds will not dangle. The only thing you need to watch out for during installation is not to get caught in the glazing bead (this is a long strip that runs along the glass unit and holds it in place). It is necessary to drill a hole in the frame itself, stepping back at least 1 cm from the edge. Otherwise there are no problems.

No drilling

There is also a way to install blinds on plastic windows without drilling the frame. This method is only available for those blinds that are hung on opening sashes. In this case, they are simply hung on plastic mounts/brackets, which are placed on the frame from above. To prevent them from moving, a strip of double-sided tape is attached to the back of the bracket. Taking off protective film, it can be glued (but not fixed).

These L-shaped plastic brackets are not included, but can be purchased at a store or company that sells horizontal blinds. This method is convenient by simply dismantling the blinds, which is convenient if they need to be repaired or washed.

Assembly of vertical blinds

Vertical blinds are installed exactly as described above. The difference is that the slats are installed after the cornice (the guide along which the runners move) has been secured. For convenience, before attaching the slats, you can use an adjustment cord to turn the sliders so that the slots in them are perpendicular to the cornice. Next, we simply snap the slats into the runners, inserting the strip until it clicks. So, we fasten all the slats one by one.

If the slats are made of fabric, then after installing them do not forget to insert the lower weight. Next, we attach the lower connecting chain to the lamellas.

The installation of vertical blinds is complete.

Fabric, accessories, tools

Before making your own fabric blinds, House master will prepare everything you need to work and obtain a high-quality result, so as not to be distracted by searching for what you need during the creative process. For fabric curtains, whatever they are, you will need:

• Fabric in the following quantities: + width for the hem + width for the necessary sewn-in fittings (if they are needed for the design of the blinds) + decorative length, for example for folds.
• Threads for sewing blinds.
• Durable cord for arranging a rotating device. Depending on the design of the blinds, the cord may require 3-4 lengths compared to the length of the fabric, so it is better to buy the cord with a reserve.
• Tools - pliers, thick needle.
• Accessories - rings, hangers, runners for slats.
• Liquid Nails.
• Double-sided and single-sided tape.
• Long ruler.
• Pencil.

All this is necessary to make protection and decoration for windows. For a specific model, one or another fittings and fasteners will be required. It is convenient to use special kits for making blinds, sold in specialized stores.

How simple!

The easiest way to make blinds with your own hands from fabric is to sew a Roman blind. Although this version of the light-protective design may be different - with or without lamellas, with various types along the window opening - inside, outside or along the frame. But it is precisely this variation of making blinds with your own hands from fabric that will step by step help even those who have never done anything like this in their lives.

Calculation of fabric for Roman blinds

If you correctly approach the preliminary stage of any work - calculating the material, building the structure, carefully planning all stages, then the result will only please you. The same applies to making fabric blinds with your own hands.

The master class should begin with the calculation required quantity fabrics. It is done simply - the estimated height and width of the blinds + 2 centimeters for hemming the edges on the right and left, as well as on top. You need to add 10 centimeters to the bottom, since a weighting bar must be inserted into the bottom fold. You can also provide a larger flap on top if you plan to make the curtain one piece along with the cornice. You will also need a backing fabric. It is calculated as follows: the height and width of the light protection + 2 centimeters per hem on all sides. If knitting needles are supposed to be sewn into each fold as a weighting agent, then the length of the reverse side should be increased as follows: multiply the number of folds by twice the thickness of the knitting needle plus a centimeter for the loose fit.

Beauty in the folds

Blinds with vertical folds will look very impressive if there are exactly the right number of folds - no more, no less. Craftsmen who manufacture such decorative window draperies advise choosing the number of folds from 5 to 9. If you take fewer folds, the blinds will be too rustic, and large quantity folds will make the window too conspicuous. Since the folds must be at the same distance from one another, the calculation is made by simple division - the height of the opening is divided by the selected number of folds. The result is the height of one fold.

This calculation option is most suitable if the folds will be rigidly attached to plastic slats. If this option is chosen, then you can use old horizontal blinds. If the folds are supposed to be soft, then old blinds are not needed, and the drapery of the raised fabric is formed freely. If you look at the fabric blinds you created yourself, photos of which are presented below, you can understand how folds are formed on such curtains.

Design process

You can sew blinds from fabric with your own hands by starting step-by-step work. First you need to measure the area of ​​the window on which the blinds will be placed. For example, if the blinds must protrude along the walls, then it is necessary to provide the width of such protrusions on both sides of the window opening. Having measured required quantity face fabric, you should sweep the folds along the right and left sides, at the top and a wide turn at the bottom, into which the weight strip will fit. It is best made from a wooden block - it is light enough not to damage the entire structure, including the cornice.

Now on the wrong side, baste the hems on all sides in exactly the same way. Mark equal distances for the folds.

• If you need to insert knitting needles, then the pockets for them should be stitched on a machine or stitched by hand.
• If lamellas from old horizontal ones are used, then they are carefully glued along the markings. By the way, in this way you can get a full-fledged structure by removing unnecessary slats from old blinds, spreading the remaining ones to the required distance, while maintaining the guide cords of the entire structure. The slats are glued carefully, without touching the places where the cords pass, for their free movement.

Lifting mechanism

Why are blinds interesting as a means of protecting windows? Your way of working. After all, when unfolded, they completely or partially block the view, and when folded, they take up very little space. This effect is obtained due to lifting or rotating (if we are talking about vertical design) mechanism. It seems that this is something complicated, but in fact everything ingenious is, as always, simple. Two or three cords are passed freely through special rings evenly spaced on the panel. At the top they also pass through rings attached to the cornice and are connected into a single cord equipped with a suspension.

• If you sew fabric blinds with your own hands from start to finish, only from scrap materials, then the mechanism for lifting the folds will be elementary and will require an additional locking device in the form of hooks next to the blinds - on the wall, window opening, on the window frame. You will need to attach a cord with a suspension to these hooks so that the blinds do not open.
• If old blinds or a special purchased mechanism are used, then nothing additional is needed, since all the locking elements are already inside the cornice.

Final assembly

So, two panels are ready. If you have experience sewing on a machine, you can immediately insert the knitting needles and sew the panels with a seam along the very edge. You can connect the front and back parts, leaving space for the knitting needles, then turn the curtain out, iron it thoroughly and only then insert the knitting needles and the weight bar. In this case, the holes for all the parts can be carefully sewn up by hand.

• Then, according to the markings, the rings are manually sewn under the cords, capturing both the front and back panels.
• Now you can pass the cords through the rings, carefully securing them to the lower rings.
• Screw special threaded rings into wooden cornice and pass the cords through them, gradually moving from one to another.
• If provided, hide this block with a cloth using Velcro tape. If this option was missed, then the curtain fabric along the edge is attached to the block using a construction stapler.
• Provide all two or three cords with a bead weight at some distance.
• secure.

Caring for blinds

Do-it-yourself fabric blinds are convenient due to their practicality. Especially if they have Velcro tape (Velcro tape) attached to the cornice. They can be easily removed and, without removing the knitting needles and weights, can be wiped off from dust simply with your hands; when suspended, such blinds will straighten out, and with the help of a steamer they can easily be brought into ideal condition right in the air, without damaging the knitting needles and the weighting bar.

The only point: if the blinds are made from colored cotton or linen fabric that is prone to shrinkage, then it is best to wash the fabric before use. hot water to check for shedding and give her the opportunity to “sit down”. Good luck!

Blinds have always been the most convenient and practical option curtains, however, are not affordable for everyone. If you want to save money and get a truly unique item, you can make your own blinds from scrap materials. The advantage of homemade blinds is the ability to design them in any style, combining various materials, as well as a significantly lower cost compared to analogues in stores.
