Instruction
1. Pick up suitable eyelets in shops or departments of goods for needlework. Eyelets can be metal or plastic, round or figured, with different diameter of internal opening. Choose eyelets with diameter of bore more than diameter of bar of eaves approximately on one and a half centimeters that the curtain easily moved on it.
2. Perform necessary measurements. When calculating of the required quantity of eyelets consider that their number on curtain has to be even, then both side edges of curtain will be directed towards window, but not towards the room. That curtain folds beautifully fell, the distance between centers of eyelets has to make from 15 to 22 cm. Folds will turn out that larger, than it is more than a distance between eyelets. From edge of curtain sideways to the first eyelet the distance in 5-7 cm will be optimum.
3. Eyelets are established on completely ready curtain therefore in advance process all edges. The curtain top from light fabric can be strengthened lyuversny tape from reverse. At the upper edge on inner side iron podgib, on width the exceeding diameter of eyelets twice.

Between them note the center of height of podgib. Divide the remained space into identical parts and make marking the same way.
5. Cut through openings for eyelets. From reverse of curtain put the punch on the first mark and strike with the hammer 2-3 times. It is possible to use normal sharp scissors.
