In this project, you’ll learn how to make a beaded curtain for home! This simple yet sparkling beads curtain design has just added splash of colors to your room and it’s really easy-to-do!
Required Material:
- Transparent Acrylic Beads
- Round Colorful Acrylic Beads
- Gengon Wood Beads
- Owl Pendant Cabochon Setting
- Acrylic Rhinestone Bead (not shown)
- Metallic Cord
- Scissors
- Lace Trim (optional)
- Double Faced Adhesive Tape (optional)
- Mark Pen (optional)
Make the Central Owl Pendant Bunch:
1st, cut a 34cm piece of cord;
2nd, attach the owl pendant to 1/3 location of cord by using a Lark’s Head Knot;
3rd, loop the cord by tying an Overhand Knot;
4th, tie another 3 Overhand Knots about 2cm away from the owl pendant. Then, string one largest (24cm) blue acrylic bead;
5th, tie the same Overhand Knots 2cm away the blue pendant and then string one smaller (20cm) bead;
6th, glue the selected rhinestone bead into the owl pendant cabochon setting. Now, you’ve finished the central bunch.
Make the Rest Beads Bunches in Varying Lengths:
1st, cut a 68cm piece of cord;
2nd, string one purple and one black on two ends of cord. Secure by tying two Overhand Knots;
3rd, tie 3 Overhand Knots to secure the large-sized flower bead upon the two small-sized ones;
4th, in the following work, you’ll just need to repeat tying Overhand Knots to stop right beads in proper place. In my beads curtain design, I made five couples of beaded bunches extra and the lengths of needed cords are: 68cm, 76cm, 84cm, 92cm and 100cm.
Hang Them on the Door:
1st, find the center of door and then stick the owl pendant bunch;
2nd, divide both sides into 5 equal parts and then attach the rest bunches by using double faceted adhesive tape;
3rd, cover the other face of tape with a lace trim.
2-3) Cut out the top quarter of the plastic bottle as shown in the image.
4-5) Now using a hot iron box curve the brim of the cut out plastic bottle. Set your iron box to a low temperature and slowly slide the brim of the plastic bottle on the surface of the iron box in a circular motion.
6) Now take a lid of a container. While selecting the lid it should have a size approximately equal to the brim of the bottle so as to get a good shape for the flower vase.
7-8) Apply hot glue at the center of the lid top and fix the bottle head on to the top of the lid as shown in the image.
3) Now I have made one more flower vase in the same way. You can try with bottles having different shape and size.
4-5) This time I have planned to give a black acrylic color for the second flower vase.
6-10) Finally, i have made one more flower vase to give a gradient effect on it. For this, the flower vase is lay down and spray painted with black on one side. Thereafter on the other side it’s spray painted white as shown in the image.
7-9) Now, for a natural flower we can fill the vase with water. This could extend the freshness of flower in flower vase. I have placed a bunch of red roses in the flower vase as shown in the image.
