Roman Shade Tutorial
So a few months ago, hubby and I went shopping for some Roman Shades. We had five windows needing shades/blinds. We were blown away at the costs! At roughly 180-200/shade (low end), we could not afford it. Especially when you can MAKE one! And choose your own, fun fabric. Time ? My first one took 4 hours, my second 2 hours (once I figured this all out). My goal is for my instructions to make it 3 hours for your first one! What you will need: 1 yard heavy/decor weight fabric (8-$20) 1 yard blackout fabric ($6) I bought a kit that has apparently been discontinued, but no worries! (that explains the heavy discount) What you need is: 10 yards Roman Shade Tape ($9) 15 yards drapery cord ($6) 4 L brackets - 1.50 4 screw eyes 1.50 18 screws- 2.00 1 Cord Clea t- 1.60 6-7 wooden dowels, depending on length. = .50 X 6= 3.00 Mounting board 1 X 2 X (width of window - 1/4"). (Mine = 1 X 2 X 42.75")= $1 In your stash (probably) matching thread fabric glue (tacky)...
