Longwood, FL Shades
Tools::
pre-made Roman shades
glue gun & glue sticks
fabric
scissors
iron
hardware to hang your shades{should already come with the pre-made shades}
1} start with an existing roman blind…I just bought a neutral, inexpensive version from Target…and make sure you have enough fabric to cover the entire shade {leaving an inch allowance around the entire piece} as well as for the velcro piece that goes across the top..
2} use clean, pressed fabric…mine was a cotton blend…and lay your opened blinds on top {remove the decorative strip, you’ll cover that later}
3} making sure your fabric is wrinkle free under your shade, wrap the edges of the fabric over the back of the shade…almost like your wrapping a gift. Hot glue the fabric all the way around the edge.
4} do the same for your smaller decorative piece that velcros to the top, making sure to press the edges for a clean line
5} once you finish gluing around all the edges of the shades, fold them like they would be drawn all the way up, and press the edges
