No Sew Faux Roman Sade

by Bharati S

Our Laundry room has one tiny window as the source of light. Since this window is tiny, decided to go for faux roman shade to achieve the look of original with least effort. Faux roman shade can not be adjusted, pleats are fixed.
Here is how the window looks all dressed up.

1. Check the width of the window (assume a), add 4" to it. That's the width of the Wood for the top of the roman shade. I used scrap wood (leftover from our Master closet project)

2. Fabric for the faux roman shade ( width should be a + 4" + 2", actual length of the window + 5")

3. Stitch witchery or fabric glue or hot glue

4. Wood Stapler

Process:-

1. After cutting the wood to the desired length, I just taped fabric on the two ends :). This ensures that the wood is not seen from sides

2. Iron the fabric to smooth out any wrinkles. Fold 1" inches on each side. Seal the ends with the stitch witchery.

3. Staple the top of the fabric to the wood

4. Make as many folds as you want, adjusting the fold lengths. secure them with stitch witchery. I used safety pins to hold the fold.

5. Locate the studs and secure the top on the wall using screws.
