DIY Paper Curtain

Paper is environmentally friendly. Paper is versatile. Paper is fabulous.

You've always wanted to make a beautiful, feasible and useful piece of furniture out of very little material (which you always have at home) for someone or even for yourself in a short period of time? Then follow this instruction step by step and learn how to design a simple yet beautiful, modern curtain with 35 threads out of everyday paper ⏤ A proven protection against insects with an additional decorative effect. :)

Dimensions: Aprox. lenght 90cm & hight 200cm.

The 2-hour-DIY-project "Paper as material" examines everyday paper as a medium, which supports creativity, concentration and manual skills for anyone. After this instruction one is going to hold a natural, beautiful and ready-to-use piece of furniture in the hands, which brings space to glow, etc…

To bring this project to life you will need different supplies. Here's is a list of them:

• Sissors
• A ruler
• Square sized paper in various colours
• A rather thick line
• Pole out of metal or wood

• First of all you have to do is to fold the paper in the middle into a half and then fold it another time in the middle into the other half.
• The next step is to fold the paper diagonally twice.
• Then you should fold the squared paper into the middle.
• After that hide the lower corners in the top middle of the paper.
• Knock over the tips on both sides (left and right) to the bottom.
• Bring the bottom triangle up and hide the tip of it on the other side of the butterfly.

Then tie the knots on the string. You can leave approx. 5 cm space between the knots. The oragami butterflies can now be threaded onto the knots.

Hang the finished strings on the metal rod; the decorative curtain is now complete!
