1) I no longer have old curtains lying around idle. I'll show you how I adapted them on my site.
We went to Arkhyz for the May holidays and the first thing that attracted attention at the base was the hammock. We immediately felt like we were on vacation; we wanted to immediately lie down in it and rock.
We did just that in between having fun. But first you need to adapt to lying on it so as not to roll over. This incredibly comfortable item is designed for relaxation. I definitely decided to make myself a similar swing at home, at least a small sitting one, the main thing is to feel the pleasant feeling of weightlessness.
I cut my hammock according to this pattern.
To make it you need strong fabric, rope and a stick. I just have a suitable curtain, a new handle for a shovel, a rope for 11 rubles per meter in a hardware store, I needed 8 meters.
- To make it stronger, I decided to make a double sheet. I connected two pieces of fabric with the right sides facing inward and stitched them on four sides, leaving room for turning them inside out.
- I turned the side oblique sides so that the cord would go in there and stitched them with a double stitch.
- I sewed fringe on the two front sides for beauty.
- To make it more comfortable to sit in a hammock, you can make soft seats from foam rubber and cover them with fabric. I had flat pillows from an old sofa.
- I sewed a cover from fabric to fit two pillows. That's how it happened.
- I inserted a cord into the side seams and assembled the fabric of the hammock.
- Two holes were made on the handle on both sides.
- I inserted a rope from the wide side of the canvas into the outer hole and tied it to a knot at the top of the stick.
- I inserted the second part of the rope into the second hole. Here, I had to tinker, the second knot should be under the stick. To do this you need two people, one holds the ropes, the other tries them on. Through trial and error we found the most convenient place for the knot. They pulled out the rope, tied a knot and put it back into the hole.
Its comfort depends on how the hammock is hung.
Everything worked out for us, relaxation and good rest are now definitely guaranteed to us. How nice it is to sit comfortably in a comfortable hammock, swing back and forth in the fresh air and forget about everything.
2) I don’t have white sheets and bathroom curtain rings lying idle in my closet. Now they serve me in a new way in the summer.
Summer sun is great, but the scorching rays raise indoor temperatures. To protect yourself from the heat, you need to close the windows.
Blinds are a convenient way of shading. They can be made from different materials: plastic, aluminum and other raw materials. Many people use foil that is attached to the glass.
The easiest way is to use paper. Regular wallpaper is suitable for this idea. You just need to fold them into an accordion and fasten them with a rope.
Recently, they began to hang thermal insulation material on windows; this is the one that is silver on one side and porous on the other.
I think the best way to shade is with curtains made of cotton fabric. We have these on all the windows in our house. I made curtains the size of a window from white fabric. I attached fabric Velcro to them. And I glued the other part of the Velcro to the window. When the season ends, I take off the curtains, wash them, put them away until next summer. Beauty.
- First, I measured the size of the glass and added 2 cm on all sides and, of course, added 3 cm allowances for hemming the edges.
- I cut out a curtain from a white sheet and stitched it on 4 sides.
- I sawed off the strip so that its length protrudes slightly on both sides relative to the fabric.
- I drilled holes on the edges of the rail, slightly obliquely. I glued garden sticks there; when finished, they will be directed slightly upward.
- I attached the curtain to the rail with buttons.
- I calculated the distance to make 3 folds. For me it’s 35 cm apart. I sewed the rings around the edges.
- To hang the curtain, I used adhesive double-sided tape from Fix Price. I use it all the time for all sorts of fastenings. She holds it up very well. I've had Roman blinds hanging on it for 3 years now and they haven't fallen once.
- If I need to raise the curtain, I put the rings on the sticks. The length can be adjusted and all folds are not used.
From the street everything looks decent.
