Window decoration plays an important role. This element of the house is a connecting part of the external and internal space of housing, a source of clean air and natural light.
But such functionality should be beautifully presented. Lambrequins will help to cope with this.

Variations
Before you start sewing lambrequins, you need to choose the base option, but it happens:
- Soft;
- Tough;
- Combined;
- Curly.
Soft - a mixture of both thin and thick fabric base. The surface can be flattened or folded, and the bottom of the panel can be straight.
Decorate with decorative flowers, satin bows, bugles, lace, make curly folds. Also draped with braid, ribbons or thrown over the ledge.
Hard lambrequin - performed on a strong adhesive material (proclamin, non-woven), plastic and wood are also suitable. The pomposity of this option is achieved by giving an unusual curly shape and edging, framing.
Combined - combines a thick, dense base and complemented by auxiliary elements with a thin, soft fabric.
Curly - the base with a massive, voluminous pattern and characteristic holes. Openwork lambrequins are made from such a basis, the design of which is carried out thanks to burning out by laser equipment. This view does not burden space.

Allowances are varied, depending on the details. For example, for such an element as swag on special paper draw a half circle and add creases, while calculating the cost of the material.
Production of panels from a rigid base
For a rigid panel, we need a wooden box, if its weight is very large, then we need to take a closed one to provide solid support. The components include the facade, mount and shelf. The facade is made of wood.
Note!
In addition, we need:
- Patterned with patterns up to 4 cm.
- A sheet of thin foam is cut to the size of a panel, but with an allowance of up to 5 cm.
- Lining material, also cut out according to the pattern with 2 cm passes for the hem along the entire panel.
- Fastening tools (glue, stapler).
Panel Instructions
The lining material with glue is attached to the facade and on the side of the wooden box. Cut off excess parts.
The fabric is attached to the base. If the fabric is with a large pattern, then it is shifted to the middle.
The lower edge is also attached so that nothing sticks out on the bends, you need to trim the excess.
