Hanging a Polished Crystal beaded curtain in a window or doorway adds style and personality to any room. Create your own beaded curtain from beads that represent your particular style. Select Polished Crysta beads to add sparkling color to the space; wooden beads fit an earthy, natural décor and hand-blown glass beads showcase an eclectic style. You'll need several hundred beads to create a small beaded curtain, but you can buy them in bulk from online beading suppliers. The curtain dimensions and the bead sizes dictate the quantity of beads that you'll need.
To make a full-length beaded curtain for your window or a doorway, you'll need to measure the length, top to bottom, of the opening where you plan to hang the Crystal Curtains. You'll be making individual strands of beads to fill the opening, as separated or as close together as you like. Fishing line works well to hold the weight of the beads on the strands; it's also easy to knot. Select your beads based on the décor of your room and on your budget. Swarovski crystal beads make a dazzling curtain for your window, but the beads are pricey and you'll need quite a few. Wooden beads or other types of glass beads make a nice beaded curtain for your doorway. Check with online retailers for bulk pricing.
To make individual strands, cut a length of fishing line to fit the opening, plus 10 inches for the knots and the loop at the top. Make a 2-inch loop on one end, and secure it with a triple overhand knot. Thread the beaded design onto the line, and tie another triple overhand knot at the end. It's also a good idea to secure the knots with a drop of jeweler's glue or craft glue. Make as many strands as you need, and hook them over a tension rod to hang in your home.
Then the Crystal Glass Bead Curtain have been created.
