Sometimes there is a situation when the room needs to be artificially divided, for example, to isolate the working area from the bed or to create a barrier from the light for the baby crib. It is not necessary to make repairs and build partitions in this case, it is not necessary to even buy a cupboard or curtains, you can solve the problem with the help of this undeservedly forgotten piece of furniture as a screen for the house. We offer you a step by step guide on how to make a screen with your own hands.

For the manufacture of screens, we need the following materials:

wooden beam (4 × 4 cm),
fabric - flax (3 × 1.4 cm),
durable thread
acrylic paint beige
brushes of medium width
grinding machine or sandpaper,
putty for wooden surfaces,
loops for the opening system, per two pieces per section,
screwdriver, hammer,
roulette,
saw,
screws, decorative nails,
ruler, pencil, scissors.

The scheme with the dimensions of the design of the screen for the home.

We make a markup of a bar (4x4) with the calculation of six bars of one hundred eighty and six bars of fifty centimeters.

Next, for the manufacture of the screen we saw a bar on the markup.

We process wooden blanks with an emery paper or a grinder, until smoothness.

We begin the preliminary constructive layout of the screen for the house. We spread the long bars against each other in pairs, at a distance of 50 cm. Short jumper bars, place a pair, between the long bars, 15 cm each, retreat from both edges. The third short bar is located in the middle. We fasten all the bars from the butt on both sides with long screws. We fasten in a similar way all three shutters.

How to make a screen with your hands smoother? It is necessary to carry out preliminary work on the closure of all irregularities and cracks - putty, after drying, puttied places with fine emery paper.

After completing the preparation of the future surface of the screen for the house, paint the tree like paint.

Production of the screen, carrying its parts, is almost complete. We are breaking the cutting of the fabric. On the fabric we measure six large rectangles with dimensions 152x50 and twelve small rectangles 30x25 centimeters.

For stocking leave at least half a centimeter around the perimeter of each piece.

Our screen for the house will perform not only the function of zoning, but will also be a convenient place to store newspapers, papers and other trifles. To do this, on each of the three large canvases, in four rows have four pockets. We make a preliminary fitting, choose the height. Next, we bend the fabric under the pocket in the stitching line, we sweep it and we attach it on the machine.

We connect the individual sash with loops.

Making the screen goes to its final stage - using decorative studs and a hammer, we nail the fabric with bent edges to the sash. On the inner side of the canvas are attached similarly, in this case, use the canvas without pockets.
