2. On top of the slats to make fabric loops for hanging on hooks.Either metal hooks with a threaded screw in the wooden plate (make sure that the hook was exactly in the middle).
3. swivel cord for fixing wooden plates in the upper drill holes at a distance of 1.5 cm from the edge.The holes should be narrow.
4. Thread the cord through the hole.At the same time with the help of glue fix the length of the cord between the slats.To determine the length of the cord between the slats have to put them in parallel, covering 1-2 cm overlap. If the hole is too wide to seal and secure the cord can be used wood chips, coated with glue.The cord length should be as two plus two window width of the window height.Thread the cord should form a ring.
5. slats suspended from the rail profile of the cornice.
6. free portion of the cord is suspended on threaded hooks on one side of the profile of the cornice.On the other hand should be again with the help of a threaded hook to fix the cord to when trying to turn the slats, they did not start to move along the eaves.Therefore, extreme lamella will always be near this side.And the blinds will only emerge in this direction.

3. Cut strips (lamella) of fabric or heavy paper.The width of the strips -. 12-15 cm length of the strip should be 4 centimeters longer than the width of the frame.This allowance for folding the edges of the frame when mounting.Number of slats is calculated by dividing the height of the frame to the average width of slats and the gap between them (1-2 cm).Based on the number of sipes compute their width, the width of the first and last slats rest on more than 4 cm (for bending allowance).When calculating do not forget that the gaps between the slats will be 1 less than the lamellae.Before you cut the strip of wallpaper for painting, apply a pattern.You can use the cliche.
4. stretch slats and fixed to the frame.To secure the appropriate tape, glue or small nails buttons.
