The same beads can be used to make an additional pattern on the curtain - in the form of so-called large ticks or diagonals.
Thread curtains are something cozy, homely, beautiful and romantic. The shine of the beads, the pleasant touch of the threads, all this creates a special mood, a special atmosphere in the room. Well, hand-made thread curtains will also be a source of pride.
