What is tulle on eyelets

Tulle has been used for window decoration for a very long time. Today, tulle on eyelets is more and more often chosen as decoration. Despite the fact that tulle is a very delicate fabric, it is practical and can be dyed in any color.

The material can be natural (cotton, wool) and artificial (polyester). The undoubted advantage of the fabric is that it does not wrinkle and does not need to be ironed after washing.

There are several types of tulle:

• muslin and mesh - most often chosen for the kitchen.

This fabric in combination with eyelets will be a wonderful decoration for any room. In this case, eyelets play the main role, because it is the rings that give the fabric a unique look.

In any case, the window will look stylish and harmonious. Therefore, tulle on eyelets is a universal option for transforming a window in any room.

Eyelets are rings located in the upper part of the tulle, which are strung on a cornice bar. They consist of two halves, which are connected into one piece along the edge of the hole. Thanks to the rings, the hole acquires a round shape and is reliably protected from abrasion.

For the first time, such rings began to be used in the maritime business, they were necessary for attaching the rigging to the sail, later they began to be used when sewing clothes, parachutes, tents and other products. For curtains, eyelets began to be used more than 50 years ago and in recent years their popularity has only grown.

Minuses

Having made the decision to sew the tulle on the eyelets on your own, it is worth considering that this will take a long time. This can be called the only drawback of such mounts.

Varieties of eyelets

The buyer can choose from 3 types of eyelets:

• metal;
• wooden;
• plastic.

The most durable are metal products, but there is one caveat: the metal can oxidize during washing, which negatively affects the appearance of the product. The fabric itself can get dirty with rust, so it is recommended to remove the rings before washing.

Despite the environmental friendliness, wooden rings are not used as often. Compared to the above options, this material does not have very good characteristics. Wood eyelets are inferior in strength and deform when exposed to moisture.

Plastic eyelets are considered a universal option and they are the most affordable at a price. Their main difference from iron rings is that they do not corrode. Therefore, there is no need to take them off before washing the tulle. Plastic mounts are available in different shades, so there are no problems with choosing the right option.

The diameter of the rings varies from 1.5 to 5 cm. The shape of the rings is generally round, but products of oval or square shape can be found. On sale you can find bushings in the form of animals, snowflakes. However, it is not always possible to find such specimens.

The color scheme can be different, but most often white, gray, black, brown are chosen. Shades imitating wood or precious metal are also popular.

• Plastic. The most affordable option. There are a variety of shades on sale, so the buyer can always choose the most suitable cornice for the room. However, it does not differ in strength, so it is better to choose a plastic cornice for light curtains in the kitchen. The material can deform from high humidity and temperature extremes.
• Metal. The combination of a metal curtain rod and metal eyelets can be called the most ideal. It is most appropriate to choose such a cornice in the hall. Its dimensions are much wider than the window, so the tulle will not look pinched.
• Wood. For a nursery, this is the best option. The wood cornice is combined with different rings: wood, metal or plastic.
