	Be careful, no deviations can be allowed, each element must be a rectangle of the same width. Advice! Use a long meter ruler and a soft, simple pencil, then blemishes will be minimal.
	As soon as the accordion is ready, determine its center with a ruler and make a good hole with an awl.If there is a large, workable hole punch, it will cope with such a task quickly and clearly. We take the lace and thread it through the holes, make tight knots at the ends.

2. We glue the strip on the frame on top of the window.
3. Remove the outer layer of the protective film.
4. Slowly glue the upper edge of the product onto the adhesive strip.

Each window cleaning will begin with the removal of the handmade curtain. Do not tear off the double-sided tape from the paper, and if the blinds are detached from the frame, they may suffer.
