Bando: introduction to hard lambrequins

Bando - a certain type of hard lambrequins, which is manufactured by special technology. As a rule, they are given a variety of styles, which are filled with intricate, sinuous and smooth lines.

The basis of such a product is a rigid frame that preserves the desired shape. Curtains with delicate lambrequins fit perfectly into any interior: classic, provence, renaissance, country, etc. Also with the help of a bando you can play several effects. For example, a fixed cornice with drapery under the ceiling visually increase the height of the room, and a lambrequin wider than the window opening will give the room an additional volume.

The technology of manufacturing such a product is quite simple. On a rigid basis, an openwork pattern is drawn, cut out, after the fabric is glued and decorated with braid. In the article, we will hold a master class on the manufacture of delicate lambrequins.

What will be needed in the process of work?

First of all, in order to produce delicate lambrequin, you will need a base (bando). It can be of several types: hot-melt and self-adhesive. Next you need to choose the main type of tissue. The material should be:

• Sufficiently dense;
• Non-friable;
• That is, it does not stretch.

The next stage of preparation is the choice of lining. As a rule, at present such types of fabrics in stores are presented in a wide range.

The purchase of adhesive tape is mandatory, since it is she who will be responsible for the quality of fastening the fabric to the substrate.

And the final touch is decor. For this use a braid or braided cord. Its color should be contrasted with the main tissue. This will allow to emphasize the openwork of the ornament.

When self-made carved lambrequins you need to have an overlock and a sewing machine.

Three rules for successful selection

In order to delicate lambrequin as harmoniously blended into the overall interior, you must adhere to the basic rules.

1. The shape of the product. Here the determining factor is the size of the room and its style. It should be remembered that too intricate and complex ornament can significantly narrow the space, so it is recommended to use simple shapes in small areas, but on large ones - to give vent to fantasy.
2. Color spectrum. The palette of used paints in the interior is one of its most important components. It is thanks to the game of colors that you can achieve maximum harmony. A win-win solution is a domed color lambrequin. This will complement the overall composition, but you do not have to try to match the tone to the tone, it's enough to stop the choice on the combined shades. Also a good option - contrast solutions. For example, brown curtains are golden lambrequin. However, there is one nuance: these colors should be duplicated in the interior.
3. Optimal size. The overall impression of the room will depend on the width and length of the lambrequin. If it is very narrow, then the size of the drapery should be from one to the other wall, and vice versa, in large rooms, the dimensions of the window side slopes are taken as a basis.

What to pay special attention to when manufacturing

1. Before you start sewing, you need to take accurate measurements from the window. The length of lambrequins directly depends on the size of the cornice.
2. If it is necessary to produce a sufficiently broad base, then it is preferable to choose a doublerin, since the width of the bardo-pro does not exceed 45 cm.
3. The pattern is made taking into account all measurements taken, as well as rounding, angles and features of the ornament.
4. Before you cut an openwork lambrequin, you must do a trial version to assess the quality of the ornament. And only after that you can transfer it directly to the base.

Manufacturing technology

Making a base for hard lambrequin is half the battle. Now you can start to decorate it.

1. In order for the delicate lambrequin to have an appropriate appearance, it is necessary to glue the fabric material onto the workpiece. First, treat the front side. The very process of gluing occurs with the iron in two sets: the first - with steam, the second - without.
2. Handle the wrong side. The prepared base is laid on the lining and stitched around the edges in a zigzag seam. For the fortress, you can use a sticky tape.
3. Cut off excess fabric.
4. Stage of decoration. For this purpose fringe or braid is ideal. It is glued with hot glue.

How to make delicate lambrequin: the subtleties of work

• Be sure to leave 1-2 cm for the hem.
• When using the oblique bake, allowance is not needed.
• The upper edge of the lambrequin is treated with Velcro, with which the product will be attached to the cornice. The tape is sewn below 5 mm from the fold.
