Make your own no-sew faux Roman shade!
Need an easy window treatment? I developed a way to make a faux Roman shade by using a piece of fabric and humble tension rods! For more information and a full tutorial, click here: http://www.impartinggrace.com/2011/05/faux-roman-shade-tutorial.html
First you create a doubled-over piece fabric the size of your window, then hang it from a tension rod inside the window.
Next you hang a tension rod on the outside of the fabric and drape the top portion of the fabric over that rod.
You continue adding rods and draping until your shade is of the size and fullness you like.
Here's the finished product!
The possibilities for this kind of shade are endless. I created another one using a tablecloth for fabric!

This is just lovely! I like the fabric you used. I am going to attempt to do this with my living room window. It is a very large window so I'm hoping I can!

Have a question about this project?
How do the shades go up and down?
Where is the link to click on the how to video, I see where you say where to go but when I click on it, it does nothing
I see the link for the video but when I click on it, it doesn’t take me to it. Doesn’t even highlight?
