For the fastening of curtains we get cornices , but not always finished products suits the owner of the apartment. Forged bars are strong and reliable, but they are heavy and expensive. Ready-made standard products from the store often do not fit us, they almost always have a boring design. We advise you to try to make a cornice for curtains with your own hands, using in the waste left after repair, as well as available materials available. In our example, you will see that even pieces of PVC pipes, which we almost always throw out or aimlessly store for years in the closet, can serve as excellent preparations for this work.
