Once the screen performed its present,practical purpose, she covered the ladies during dressing, used by puppeteers to hide actors-puppeteers or shared rooms. And now it is also a popular element of decor, which, if desired, you can make yourself.
Appointment
So, the most common division of the room by screenin small apartments, so the available space is used more rationally. And on a large scale, this element carries a purely decorative function, perfectly fitting into the interior. Designers supply their huge assortment to the market, and everyone can purchase a suitable option. But the screen for the room can be made and independently, from improvised materials. It can protect part of the space for a bedroom or living room, hide untidy areas, for example, batteries or an impartial angle from the workshop. And you can put a screen in the bathroom instead of a curtain, because it will look much more stylish, and also perform the function of protecting the room from moisture from the shower. However, in this article, you will learn how to make decorative curtains for a room.
Preparation
For its manufacture we will need absolutelya little: a wooden beam with a section of 4 * 4 cm, 3 meters of flax (you can use another fabric to choose from), acrylic black paint, putty for wood, 4 hinges for doors. And from tools - paint brushes, a grinding machine or sandpaper, a hammer and a screwdriver, a saw, screws and decorative nails, a measuring tape measure, as well as a ruler, a pencil, a sewing machine and scissors, that's all. Now go to the main stage: we make the screen itself for the room, or rather its frame. To do this, we need to saw off 6 pieces of timber length 180 cm, as well as 12 segments of 50 cm. Measurements are done using a tape measure, marking with a pencil along the edge of the ruler. Now we process all the surfaces of the bars with a grinding machine to absolute smoothness. To be faithful, you can walk with sandpaper "zero".
Frame
Now we collect our screen for the room.It will be 3 separate sections with short crosspieces 2 on the bottom and on top, and they will be fastened together by door hinges. Therefore, we make each section in turn: we have two bars strictly opposite each other at a distance of 50 cm. Then, after stepping off the top edge of 2 cm, we screw on the long self-tapping screws a short section to both bars. The next jumper is 20 cm lower. Now we also act with the back side (bottom) and with the remaining two sections. To achieve absolute smoothness of the surface of the tree to prevent injury to you or children, you need to put it on and then sand it with fine sandpaper. Now we paint the entire surface with black paint (you can change the gamma of your interior) and go to the final stage.
Shutdown
Manufactured screen for the room with their own handslooks much more advantageous and original purchase, but because it needs to be done carefully. After we have finished the frame, it remains only to cut the fabric and attach it to the wooden base. Here you need to follow the rule: 7 times measure, cut once. And so we cut out 3 rectangles measuring 172 * 58 cm. We bend all their edges thrice for 1 cm and on the machine we make the seams so that the fabric does not pour. Now we can only attach the panels to the frame, for this we use decorative nails, and collect all the sections in one construction. To do this, screw the door hinges to the screws on the level of the second short pieces of the beam from above and below. So, our decorative screen is ready! If desired, you can decorate it with embroidery, applique, painting on fabric, and for practicality - sew large pockets.
