I have made them. They are not difficult to make. Do a google search for how to make them, they have some tutorials with step by step instructions and pictures. :)

They are really simple to make. I made some for my bathroom in my old house. I'm sure as Shadow mentioned there are plenty of tutorials out there. Good Luck

I'm getting ready to start a pair of them soon. I have a book just on window treatments and they don't seem all that difficult. I know I can get the hardware from Hancock's.

I'm off to JoAnn - gotta price a new iron, buy I Spy fabric, and I wonder if they have kits. Guess I'll have to ask. Thanks for all the answers.
I'm sure the kitty boys will be right in the midst of things. |
I helped a friend finish some....she had them sewn, but broke her arm before getting the "pull-ups" done. I dont' remember much, other than it seemed pretty simple. Maybe try google for simpler instructions that what you found already?

I took some classes at a drapery school in North Carolina along time ago.
They are very easy. I can email you some instructions. A really neat idea for them is to only put a row of rings down the center. Your wieght bar at the bottom must be cut in two pieces. When these are drawn up, it makes a fan shape (or a Half circle) at the bottom. Really easy and looks neat, and you don't have to sew on all those rows of rings. PM if you need any more help. Linda |
I made 17 for the windows on my first floor. They are really easy. There are strips with the rings already sewn on, you just sew on each side of the rings. I am planning on making roman shades for my BIL's kitchen and living room as soon as I find fabric that is just right. Good luck and definitely go for it!

Hi Tisha,just wanted to say hello as you are from my home city. I was there only two days ago to join in the celabrations of my brother's 80th birthday. Letty.

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.) |
