Diy Faux Roman Shades

Faux Roman shades are a simple and stylish DIY project that can add a touch of sophistication to any window. They are also relatively inexpensive to make, especially if you use fabric from your stash.

To make faux Roman shades, you will need the following materials:

• Fabric (enough to cover your window plus at least 12 inches extra on all sides)
• Lining fabric (optional)
• 1" x 2" board (cut to the width of your window)
• Staple gun
• Sewing machine (optional)
• Scissors
• Measuring tape
• Pins

Instructions:

1. Cut your fabric to size. The width of your fabric should be equal to the width of your window plus at least 12 inches extra. The length of your fabric should be equal to the desired length of your faux Roman shades plus at least 12 inches extra.
2. If you are using lining fabric, sew it to the back of your main fabric.
3. Hem the bottom of your faux Roman shades.
4. Staple the top of your faux Roman shades to the 1" x 2" board.
5. Fold your faux Roman shades into thirds.
6. Pin the folds in place.
7. Sew the folds in place.
8. Hang your faux Roman shades on the wall above your window using screws or nails.

Tips:

• If you are new to sewing, you can use fabric glue to hem the bottom of your faux Roman shades and to sew the folds in place.
• To make your faux Roman shades look more professional, you can add a trim to the bottom edge.
• You can also add a rod pocket to the top of your faux Roman shades so that you can hang them from a curtain rod.

Faux Roman shades are a great way to add privacy and style to your windows without the hassle of making traditional Roman shades.
