muslin curtains in the kitchen — Sheer curtains are made up of many long, straight threads.

Another fashion trend is hidden fasteners above the ceiling level. However, this option can only be used after renovation in the kitchen, when a special ceiling has been created for this.

How to make tulle with your own hands

Do-it-yourself kitchen tulle is quite simple to do, even a craftswoman with little experience can do it. The manufacturing procedure for the product is very simple:

The fabric is measured in length and width. The width is calculated by the formula - the length of the cornice, multiplied by the drapery factor by 1.5 - 2 times.The length of the pattern should take into account the final length of the tulle, and the 15 cm allowance for finishing the top and bottom edges.
After cutting, the fabric is first processed on the sides. To do this, you need to bend it using a cobweb and stitch it up. If necessary, ruffles are sewn on.
The hem is formed in a similar way.
At the end, the upper part is formed. It can simply be folded with a hot-melt spider web or decorated with curtain tape.
After that you can hang the tulle and enjoy the pleasant interior of the kitchen.

material for sewing — Many are not familiar with the technique of sewing tulle, although even a person who is ignorant of sewing curtains can make the simplest model. The main thing is to have at least a minimum of knowledge in the field of sewing art.

How to hang tulle correctly

It is better to use curtain tape for hanging the kitchen tulle. This will give the top edge a tight fit without sagging. In addition, the curtain tape contains ready-made loops, which are easy enough to fix on the hooks of the cornice.

It is necessary to start the tulle suspension from the edges. First, the two end corners are attached. Then the center is marked and the central part is hung. After that, the two halves are alternately suspended.

the complexity of the curtains on the hooks — Hanging curtains on hooks is quite difficult.

With curtains

If tulle is used in conjunction with heavy curtains, then first it is better to hang a light fabric, and then proceed to fastening a heavier material.

In this case, a cornice with two runners or two rods is used. The optimal fastening will be the suspension on the curtain tape of both canvases.

No curtains

Using tulle without curtains will create a softer and lighter atmosphere in the room. In this case, the list of options for attaching tulle will be wider:

On the rings.
On the eyelets.
On fabric loops.
On a classic curtain tape.

Fasteners for eyelets or rings are usually used in finished curtains. Attaching with wide fabric loops creates a light, rustic feel.

grommet curtains in the kitchen — The curtains on the eyelets are attached to the cornice with special holes.

On the curtains

An unusual way is to attach the tulle directly to the curtains. It is commonly used for French, horizontal drapery cascading curtains. The order of attachment here is as follows:

First, the drapery of a thin fabric is made.
Then a denser canvas is draped.
The canvases are fastened and hung on the cornice.

full width tulle — In the kitchen, tulle in the entire width of the opening is not always appropriate.

Care Tips

To keep the curtains beautiful for a long time, they must be removed and cleaned regularly. You can wash the tulle in a regular automatic machine. It is better to use a cloth bag for this. This will not damage the delicate fabric of the kitchen tulle.

Before washing, remove all hard and heavy parts, otherwise they may break or damage parts of the machine.

machine wash — The choice of the washing mode is important so as not to damage the material. If there is such a setting, then choose "delicate wash" or "silk". The "hand wash" mode at a temperature of 30 degrees is well suited, as well as the "pre-wash".

In no case should you squeeze the fabric, this will lead to its deformation. It is enough just to shake it several times, let it drain. You can hang a damp cloth - this way it will flatten itself out under its own weight.
