They are environmentally friendly, do not catch fire instantly when a child plays with fire, do not become electrified. The best textured fabric for children and linen. There are many varieties of cotton designs, with an abundance of prints on them. White is from these materials. The biggest drawback of linen is that it wrinkles.

If the child is allergic, such materials should be discarded.

How to change the curtains in the nursery - original ideas

New curtains in the nursery with your own hands can not only be sewn, but also made by modifying the old ones. A few ideas for updating curtains that can push for original solutions.

Make flowers, butterflies, bows, bouquets, toys, and then sew them onto curtains. Thematic details look organic: fairy-tale characters, balls, cars. Ocean dwellers and ships decorate the curtains in a nautical style.

Decorate the entire canvas with a fabric applique, sewn on top or glued to non-woven fabric. The details can be small or large - for the height of the child. They look outside the box, especially if you sew on photo prints.

Do-it-yourself curtains in the nursery for girls are decorated with ruffles and flounces. You can cut off the bottom edge of a boring curtain, sew on bright ruffles, of the same tone or in contrast, in stripes, cages or polka dots - in any case, the product "prettier".

On the surface of the curtains for the nursery, you can cut holes in the shape of stars and a sickle of the month for greater artistic effect. To do this, you need to make templates out of cardboard, mark the locations of the stars on the fabric, cut them out. So that the fibers do not crumble, synthetic fabrics are cut out with heated scissors, and natural ones are processed along the edges with transparent glue (there is a special one for this purpose, but you can use super glue).

When the curtain is lowered, the darkening dense fabric does not let light through, and the rays of the sun or the reflections of lanterns break through the holes, imitating the stars in the night sky.

This effect is created not only on the blue canvas. You can use brown, dark green, purple fabric b.
