We associate holidays primarily with relaxation, sunbathing and numerous journeys. However, a holiday at the Polish seaside can sometimes quickly disappoint us, especially when we are not well prepared for it.
Holiday relaxation with a beach screen
It is not without reason that screens dominate the Polish seaside. Thanks to them, sunbathers lounging on a sunny, sandy beach can enjoy at least a little privacy away from the curious glances of passers-by. The guarantee of privacy has meant that colorful screens have been a stylish accent of every holiday resort for many years.
Not all beach screens available in online and stationary stores meet our requirements. We can either use ready-made patterns or design them ourselves in accordance with our individual preferences, creating unique and interesting graphics, as well as sew them ourselves, having full control over their execution.
A handmade beach screen has many advantages. First, you can customize it to your preferences in terms of color, pattern and material. By choosing high-quality material, you can be sure that your screen will be durable and easy to keep clean. Moreover, making a screen yourself allows you to avoid the disappointment of mismatched store-bought products that may not meet all expectations.
Your own beach screen is also a great opportunity to express your creativity and uniqueness. You can create a screen that stands out from other beach accessories.
DIY beach screen
When we decided to create a beach screen ourselves, we decided to guide you through the production process step by step. A little effort and the right materials will make the screen you create a favorite companion on all your holiday journeys.
To sew a screen you will need the following materials and tools:
STEP 1. PREPARATION
Buy sticks for screens , which you can find at popular online auctions or in online stores. Then choose the appropriate fabric, preferably cotton fabric purchased by the meter. Be sure to make sure it is wide enough and durable. Remember that the length of the fabric depends on your preferences, but it is worth choosing one that will allow you to twirl freely without taking up too much space on the beach.
STEP 2. MATERIAL PREPARATION
Preparing the material is the second step in creating your own beach screen . We start by cutting the fabric into even pieces - we recommend using 4 or 5 pieces, depending on how long you want the screen to be. Once you have the individual pieces of fabric, sew them together, creating a characteristic loop at the stitching points that will be used to attach the poles.
STEP 3. FIXING STICKS
The next step is to create holes for the sticks in the screen we sew . Remember that the holes should not be too wide or too narrow. The holes should be wide enough for you to easily slide the stick in, but not so wide that the structure becomes unstable. If you want the sticks to be outside the screen, insert them through the holes at the edges of the fabric. If you prefer the sticks to be inside, slide them through the holes in the center of the fabric.
STEP 4. FINAL HEMING
After inserting the poles, the last step is to sew the ends of the material to ensure durability and aesthetic appearance of the beach screen. You can do it in a similar way as when attaching poles - by sewing the ends of the material, creating a characteristic loop.
Satisfaction and privacy on sunny days
Sewing your own beach screen is a great way to create an original and functional accessory that will accompany you during your summer holidays at the seaside. Thanks to simple steps and carefully selected materials, you can be sure that your screen will be durable, aesthetic and fully adapted to your needs. Don't hesitate and try to sew a screen yourself - it's a great opportunity to use your creative skills and enjoy an original screen on a sunny beach.
