Blinds have long become not only part of the office, but alsoapartments, because they look nice and very functional. Before installing blinds with your own hands, you should choose a variety of them: vertical, horizontal or roll. In addition, the basis of the design can be completely different materials. 
Required window measurements for the manufacture of blinds.
Independent manufacture of blinds
In order to make the blinds yourself,you can use old wallpaper. To do this, prepare a piece of wallpaper, the length of which exceeds the length of the window. In return, you can apply another kind of paper or cardboard. Cut the material to be scissors or a stationery knife. You need a hole punch and an adhesive tape, as well as a rope. The latter can be linen, but it can be replaced with another, the main requirement is that it is thick and strong, as an excellent option will look satin ribbon. 
Blinds scheme with an opening mechanism.Before, it is necessary to measure the window with which to work. Before cutting from the roll, you can make an accordion, and after that you can cut it. Its folds should be equal to 3.5 cm. This dimension can be changed, however, it is not recommended to make it smaller, since then the bending will be more difficult. When carrying out these works, it is necessary to make an unfinished step on one side of the accordion, with this part the structure will be attached to the window, while on the other side it should be finished. If you are faced with the question of how to make blinds, then this option will be the most budgetary, because everyone in the house will probably have old scraps of wall covering. 
. After the accordion is ready, itsIt is necessary to fold tightly, which will allow you to make a hole in the middle with a punch. After the turn of two-sided scotch occurs, from which it is necessary to cut a piece, the dimensions of the workpiece should be less than ½ of the width of the blind. The workpiece must be reinforced from the side of the finished step. Now you need to insert a rope and straighten the blinds, the braid should be long enough, and then you can get rid of the excess. On the upper edge, it is necessary to strengthen the rope and fix it with a double-sided adhesive tape, which must be fixed along the entire length, since it will be attached to the window. Then you can continue to work with the lower part of the canvas, there you need to tear off the protective layer of adhesive tape and fold the edge in half, this will glue it. The rope at the next stage can be cut off with some margin, while the blinds should be in straightened form. On the rope, you need to put on the lock and the end. This paper blinds can be considered ready, which indicates the possibility to get rid of the protective layer of tape from the top edge. Now you can strengthen the blinds to the window and check the correctness of their installation. Back to contents</a>
Modernization of self-made blinds
List of components for horizontal blindsclassical system. Make blinds yourself is easy, but they can also be changed. For this purpose, it is necessary to equip the holes not in the center, but along the edges, they also need to stretch the threads, put on the locks and strengthen the structure, as described above. While in the middle of the top should be strengthened a thick ribbon, which will allow you to tie blinds. Their lower part can be quite diverse, for example, even. In this case, you can decorate the bottom edge with ribbons or bows, the last of which can be made both from fabric and from paper, the wallpaper can be combined using a stronger adhesive instead of a double-sided adhesive tape.

Shutter Technology
For the work with the help of mechanical fasteners it is necessary to prepare: 
The scheme of fixing the blinds to the window.
- Screws;
- Screwdriver;
- jalousie;
- pencil;
- roulette;
- level.
There are different ways to install blinds, oneof which it assumes a direct attachment to the frame of each section of the opening. This process is considered the most difficult, and the installation of rolls is carried out according to the same scheme. Before starting installation from the eaves should be removed platbands. Blinds can be fixed to the window leaf, for this you should use screws, in exchange you can use brackets for fixing. As an alternative, there is a way to arrange holes in the wall. If you prefer a method with screws, you have to make holes in the profile of the window in advance. This will provide a sufficiently reliable fastening, which can not break the integrity of the window and profile. This technology should not be used, if after the dismantling you will not be satisfied with holes that will be very noticeable. 
Scheme of assembly of vertical blinds. In order to exclude the formation of holes, it is permissible to apply an option that involves fixing the structure with brackets, their installation is performed on a frame without drilling. If you choose a method of drilling plastic, you must first accurately mark the position of the upper bar of the structure, which will be fixed to the window. If you have a plastic window, you do not have to install holes. The carrier and the double-glazed window must be interconnected, having made installation under the top of the frame of the casement. Due to the fact that the depth between the surface of the double-glazed window and the frame may be different, the fastening plates will not adhere to the profile loosely. In order to exclude this gap and firmly fix the plates to the base, it is necessary to use U-shaped liners. They should be used in an amount from one to several, which will determine the width of the gap. 
Scheme of movement of vertical blinds. The position of the carrier should be indicated by the location of the lower edges of the plates, this will allow after using the data for the landmark to install the louvers smoothly. To fix the blinds on plastic windows is permissible by means of screws installed in the profile, using a screwdriver. This way will get a good fit. In order to know where to install fasteners, its position should be marked in advance in advance, so that after making holes with a drill, pushing it inwards by 1.5 mm. This eliminates the possibility that the carrier will be slightly displaced during the screwing process. In addition, this approach will prevent the occurrence of cracks in the profile body. The last version of the fastening is almost impossible to implement with new windows, but it is possible if they have stood for several years or are made of wood. After you can install the last screw, you can begin to fasten the line, which will hold the blinds when you open it. For this purpose, two openings located at the edges should be arranged in the lower pile of the wing. They must be placed on the carrier under the appropriate outlets of the line. Use a 2.5 mm drill. When pulling the line, make sure that it does not turn out to be too strong, but it should not sag. At the last stage it is necessary to put the platbands on the carrier. After that, you need to check how well they work, and install the chain and lever fasteners in certain places. You can install the blinds without drilling. It is permissible to use brackets, which are fixed by one of the existing methods, and already on them it is necessary to snap or bolt the carrier louver. This technology is used by those who wish to clean the system from time to time. And if there is a need to remove from the window protection from the sun, then it will not remain a trace. Fastening of brackets can be made with the help of screws, they can be fixed on the surface of the sash profile, moreover, fixation should be made exclusively on the opening flaps. You can use double-sided scotch for mounting.
