Types of curtain tiebacks

There are several types of clamps:

Fabric. These are traditional holders. They are usually made from the same material as curtains. For a creative room design, you can experiment with combinations. The grips are put on the curtains. Wall holders are placed in a separate category. They wrap curtains, the product is attached to the surface next to the window. Fabric tiebacks are used for light tulle and heavy curtains.
Tough. Specialized clips for curtains, which are made of metal, plastic, wood. Easy to use - the fasteners are simply threaded onto the textile. They do not need to be tied, straightened, etc. Reliably hold heavy, dense curtains.
Magnetic. These are two devices connected by a chain, ribbon, cord, etc. Original modern pendants. Advantages:

ease of fixation;
can be placed at any height;
form beautiful folds on the curtains.

Used for tulle and light curtains.

Hairpins. The hook consists of two parts - the base and the pin. There are tiebacks of different shapes - round, square, triangular, etc. They are decorated with beads, rhinestones, etc. To fix the curtains, the canvas is placed on the base and secured with a pin.
Cords. The ties are usually decorated with tassels and fringes. The rope is used for heavy curtains. It is not used for tulle because it looks too bulky. This girth is not suitable for every interior. Does not fit with high-tech, Provence, etc. style.
Pigtail. This grip is made from several tapes. Use material of the same color or fabric of different shades. The main thing is that it matches the curtains.

Holders are used for the following curtains:

sliding curtains located on both sides;
single flowing fabrics;
tulle, if it is used as an independent drapery.

Hooks are used for curtains installed on a door, window or arch.

How to make curtain holders with your own hands: step-by-step instructions

The procedure for making the clamps depends on the type of clamp.

From fabric

Before starting work, make a pattern.

To do this, follow the algorithm:

Determine the size of the elements. Dimensions depend on the type of curtains for which the holders are used. For thin curtains, tiebacks of 20-25 cm are sufficient, for thick curtains - 35-40 cm.
Choose the shape of the product. Usually a crescent is used.
Make a template out of paper. To do this, a pick-up of the selected shape of appropriate dimensions is drawn on the surface.
The workpiece is cut out.

After creating the pattern, they move on to sewing fabric tiebacks. To do this, the following algorithm is followed:

The material is folded in half so that the front sides are on the inside. The pattern is applied to the fabric. The paper is secured with pins so as not to accidentally move it. Outline with chalk with a seam allowance of 1-1.5 cm. The manipulations are repeated on other material. There should be 2 blanks in total.
The pattern is applied to the non-woven fabric. Outline with chalk and cut out. The resulting element is applied to the material from the wrong side. The details are ironed.
Loops are formed from bias tape.
All elements are collected. The strips of fabric are placed right sides together. The loops are placed between the blanks. The edges of the product are sewn together with the exception of the bottom edge.
The grip is turned out and treated with a hot iron.
The bottom edge is sewn on a sewing machine.
Bias tape is fixed at the top and bottom of the product.
The finished capture is steamed.

The manipulations are repeated for the second element.

From the cord

Algorithm for making holders:

The ends of the rope are folded to form two loops. Wire is wrapped around them. It is processed with pliers. This must be done so that the material holds securely on the rope.
The wire is coated with glue. The top is wrapped with thread to improve aesthetics.
Brushes are tied in the middle of the rope.

From beads

To make such grabs, follow the step-by-step instructions:

The beads are put on a cord. Make several threads.
Rows of blanks are combined into one product.
They hang it on the curtains.

Hard grips

These elements are made at the factory. At home, you can make an original holder with wall placement.

Rigid curtain tiebacks are a decorative element

Procedure:

Select the location on the wall where the product is installed.
Drill holes for the door handle.
The product is fixed to the surface with self-tapping screws.
The curtains are pulled up by the handle and straightened.

DIY curtain holders can be made from various materials. Clamps are even made from magnets, ropes, and other products. When choosing a holder, take into account the type of curtains and the interior of the room.

Large, double kanzashi flower, made of 5 cm ribbon.

First, I prepared the sharp petals. Each flower needed 10 petals, since I decided to make double flowers themselves. The lower petals on all flowers will be white, and the upper petals will be pink and lilac. I’ll show you how to fold the petals in pink.

From ribbon wide. 5 cm cut out a square.
Fold the square diagonally with the wrong side inward.
I folded the resulting triangle again.
Then I folded it a third time and trimmed the edge (in the photo it is marked with a blue dotted line). I trimmed it in order to even out the cut of all layers. I pinched it with tweezers.

I fold petal
5. I brought the cut side to the candle so that the ribbon melts slightly. Advice: it is better to melt in the area of the wick (there is less smoke here). If it touched the flame, it was only lightly. She passed the petal several times along the fire so that the entire edge melted.

6. When the cut edge was slightly melted, I pressed it with tweezers for a few seconds so that the tape would stick together.

7. The result is a petal, as in photo No. 7.

8. Then I turned out the petal, as in photo No. 8.

I fold a petal

I prepared these petals: white - 30 pcs, pink - 20 pcs, lilac - 10 pcs.

Prepared the petals

Now you can collect the flowers.

9. Glued together white and pink petals. To do this, I applied hot glue to the white petal along the fold. And immediately, on top, I put a pink petal (so, I collected 20 pieces of white-pink and 10 pieces of white-lilac petals).

10. When the double petals were collected, I began to collect flowers. I applied hot glue to the edge of the white petal and pressed the next petal against it, edgewise. I tried to apply the glue slightly short of reaching the middle and the end of the petal. By the way, you can vary how open the flower is. If the strip of contact between the petals is small, the flower is more open and vice versa.

11. Collected 5 double petals. I pulled apart the last petals that were not glued together, applied glue and pressed them.

12. Using this principle, I collected all the double petals. In the end I got 6 pieces. large, double flowers, 3 pieces, for each scoop.

Picking a flower

Also, I made small flowers.

How to make clamps from disks

Disc clips look good on curtains and are easy to make yourself. To work you will need:

unused computer CD;
wide ribbons matching the color of the curtains;
fabric roses, buy them or make them yourself;
a pair of scissors;
threads

To make a pick-up do the following:

The middle of the disk is removed, leaving a ring 3-4 cm wide.
The disk is wrapped with tape.
The remaining edges of the tape are sewn together so that the junction remains invisible.
Fabric flowers are sewn to the ring and the seams are masked with them.
To clamp the fabric, use an unnecessary knitting needle. It is separated, wrapped with tape and attached to the disk.

Attention! These clips are used only for thin curtain fabrics; they will look out of place on thick curtains.

Unusual clips and pins for curtains

Stores sell pins and curtain ties in large quantities, but they are not anything special. To attach an original tieback to the curtains, make it yourself.

Tie grab. This unusual product is suitable for an office, study room or a schoolchild's room. To create this holder, you need a tie and double-sided adhesive tape. The tie is tied with a Windsor knot and a ribbon is glued to the back. Another piece of tape is attached to the wall, and then the curtain is pulled into the tie and glued to both sides of the tape. It is acceptable to use an old belt instead of a tie. It is sewn in the right places, the excess parts are cut off and a curtain is threaded into it.
Clip made from utensils. This tieback looks stylish in a rustic kitchen, dining room or patio. The cup is better for clamping because it is easy to work with. Bring a tile drill for the job. The bottom of the cup is removed with a drill. To do this, draw a circle with a marker and seal it with tape. Before starting, check the cup to make sure there are no cracks. After pulling the bottom into the cup, pull the curtain through and hang it by the handle on a hook attached to the wall.
Toy grip. This idea is implemented in children's rooms. For the first option, take two identical toys and sew them together with paws. A curtain is inserted into the opening between them and attached to the wall at the back. For the second option, choose a toy with long legs. The legs are sewn together and the curtain is threaded using the same principle.
Necklace clip. A necklace holder is an elegant decor for a living room or bedroom. To do this you will need wire of different thicknesses, beads, seed beads or other decorations. Thick wire is wound into a ring. You can wrap it with a beautiful ribbon, or you can leave it just like that. Beads and seed beads are strung on a thin wire and then attached to a thick frame. They do this for several rows, and then thread the curtain into the ring and attach it to the hook at the back.
Rope-rope. For heavy massive curtains, a large tie made of thick rope or rope is suitable. You can use it to wrap a curtain or make a ring by sewing the ends together. The main thing is to secure the bracket to the wall so that it does not slide down.
Door handle. To do this, use a handle of an interesting design that matches the curtains. It is screwed to the wall so that the fabric can be tucked behind it. This is suitable for vintage or palace style interiors.
Flower pick-up. In the store they buy any clamp to which flowers are sewn. They are bought in stores for decoration or handicrafts. But they also make them themselves. These clips add sophistication, sophistication and grace to the room.
