How to make string curtains at home

To make string curtains at home, you have several options: beaded, crochet, or knotted. Here’s a guide on how to make each type:

Beaded Curtains:

• Measure the window or door where you plan to hang the curtain.
• Cut a wooden rod with a large diameter according to the measurement.
• Attach hooks to the wooden rod, drilling holes into the rod to attach the hooks firmly.
• Get beads and insert them into the string, tying the string’s tip to create a lump on the bead’s head to avoid uneven arrangement.
• Repeat the process until you reach the top of the string, then tie the beaded string to the wooden rod above the window or door frame.

Crochet Curtains:

• Choose a crochet pattern or create your own.
• Gather your materials, including a crochet hook, yarn, and a tapestry needle.
• Follow the pattern or your own design to create the curtain.
• Sew the individual crochet pieces together to form the curtain.

Knotted Curtains:

• Choose a macrame pattern or create your own.
• Gather your materials, including string, a dowel rod, and a lark’s head knot.
• Attach the strings to the dowel rod using a lark’s head knot.
• Follow the pattern or your own design to create the curtain.
• Tie the square knots and add half hitch loops as needed.
• Cut the strings to the desired length.

Remember to choose the type of string that suits your project. For beaded curtains, use a string thin enough to fit through the beads.

For macrame curtains, use 3ply twisted macrame string.
