So if I understand it correctly, I can either sew all those rings on individually, or I can purchase premade ring tape. Regardless of which option I select, the rings will be visible from the outside.

Did you use liner material on yours, joann? .

..and is the ring tape a neutral color so it doesn't stand out when the shades are down and one looks at the window from the outside? (I was going to use a white or off-white liner fabric.)
I used a light blocking liner, I sewed the rings on individually when I made mine, then found the tape later (of course!!). The tape is white or off white.
I just ordered fabric for my BILs windows and I'm planning on using the tape this time.
As long as the liner is the same color as the tape I don't think you will notice the rings from outside. You don't notice the rings on mine, my liner and rings are both white.
