Je hebt ook groot gelijk dat je vraagt wat je vraagt en ik weet dat het Engels niet voor iedereen te volgen is. Ik zou je er ook erg graag mee willen helpen, alleen is het door omstandigheden voor mij niet haalbaar mijn tutorials (of enkel deze) in het Nederlands aan te bieden, het is al heel wat dat het lukt überhaupt af en toe iets te kunnen doen en tutorials te maken. Om die reden moet ik je dus helaas teleurstellen wat dat betreft.<br /><br />Wat ik wel kan doen is je een link geven, dat ik voor je heb gezocht op Google met zoekopdracht 'vouwgordijnen maken', ik vond deze: http://www.handwerkatelier.nl/FREE/POPPENHUIS/vouwgordijn.htm . Dit is een NL'se beschrijving. Het is misschien hier en daar iets anders dan dat van mij, geen idee, maar icm met mijn plaatjes en/of je eigen invulling voor hoe je dingen het liefst wil kun je je daar vast/hopelijk mee redden.<br /><br />En anders kun je via google andere Nederlandse beschrijvingen vinden van het maken van mensen-formaat-vouwgordijnen, met dezelfde zoekopdracht en dat is ook wat ik heb gebruikt voor het maken van mijn miniatuurversie. Ik hoop dat ik je hiermee toch heb kunnen helpen en dat je veel plezier hebt met het maken van minivouwgordijntjes!

Thank you so much, it's always nice when people get excited and more so that you find it clear, it's what I hoped to achieve. Haha, you'll find yourself a window then :D.<br /><br />Ha, that cleat, yes, it's a thin piece of brass you can just cut with scissors (K&S Engeneering, available in several webshops). I made 2 little holes with some distance (I had to guess not having or could find measurements) and then cut a strip with the holes in there as this was easier than cutting a strip first and having to make holes in that straight and in the exact right spots etc! And then cut a little bit rounder at the edges.<br /><br />I had real tiny nails fortunately that I used to glue it in the wood (made small holes in the wood first of course). Not easy to get it glued, being so very small, even with tweezers, so I was really pleased when I got it and it won't go anywhere now :D Thanks for your compliment about it, I thought it was a real fun detail too! ;)<br /><br />You're so welcome dear, it's gives me pleasure to share, like others share their techniques and I've always been happy with them.Fabulously Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900803753608126554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023401730875179895.post-60605808175244943882015-10-17T14:09:44.086+02:002015-10-17T14:09:44.086+02:00Hi Polly, it's so nice to have you: welcome!

But now I am getting better and am getting caught up on blogs!<br />Your tutorial is Fantastic! it is so clear and detailed and very straight forward and easy to see what you mean with all your diagrams! I think that helps a lot because sometimes words alone can be confusing! I wish I had a window in need of a blind right now! Lol! Actually, I probably have several windows.... but have not gotten to the curtain stage yet! I Love the little "cleat" you made to fasten the cord.... I remember mentioning it when you first showed the blinds... but I forget how you made that part. was it just a piece of metal? How was it fastened to the wall? I ask because we always had bamboo blinds when I was little that pulled up with a pulley system and had a cleat to fasten them! The cleat just feels like the ultimate in tiny real detail!!! Bravo for this great tutorial... and thank you for sharing so much of your great techniques!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023401730875179895.post-42113774776468123652015-10-16T23:28:47.642+02:002015-10-16T23:28:47.642+02:00Hello Monique, I have just found your lovely site....Hello Monique, I have just found your lovely site.

Heel graag gedaan, ik vind het leuk om te delen zodat anderen het ook kunnen gebruiken.
