DIY No Sew Roman Shades video tutorial

[@kamillasandera-zech4008]

I love the video, also the beautiful MUSIK. YOU ARE SOOOO CREATIV. Thank you so much Kamilla Canada

[@michelledoyle8225]

okay...that was amazing! so so simple. I have viewed several of how to make roman shades and this is by far the best one! your camera angle was perfect and your voice instruction was clear and to the point. I purchased all my materials and now I'm ready....set...go!

[@dorothysmith1063]

michelle rice I need a tutorial on how to make/sew a LONDON SHADE. All I ever see are instructions for Roman shades. Can ANYONE show me how to make a LONDON shade?

[@sarahmunromaddonna6264]

I had started making some awhile back and set them aside for a few months... I have spent several hours trying to get reorganized with the mechanics of what I could remember from the tutorial I first used. I've been so dang frustrated. I finally started looking for a new one to simplify what is an already simple process my brain wouldn't grasp and I am so grateful to have found this tutorial. All the steps were shown on the video, it was simple and the steps clear. ❤️👏👏👏

[@cassiecp]

Okay this I can do. I wanted Roman shades in our game room but had not one clue as to how I was going to begin. Thanks a bunch.

[@cchandler2656]

Loved it. Watched 3 times. Cant go back' in mid room, but next time... The music was perfect. Did not bug me like so many others do now.

[@jbello9398]

this is probably the best tutorial i've seen, and these work better than regular cheap blinds... and still doing this is cheaper than real roman shades bought from the store... i think i'll try this one with a good quality fabric

[@janisvazquez3036]

I'm definitely gonna try this myself. 3 day blinds was charging me a whopping $1400 for just two windows in the kitchen. I was like "get out of here". Can't wait to do them but I wonder how many I'll go through to get the hang of it. Thank you!

[@cindyjohnson4208]

You really made that look so easy, thank you so much.

[@michemckenna9030]

Loooved your background music!

[@wetdewlap8741]

Awesome ingenuity!!! Thanks so much for sharing that!!! Love moonlight sonata too!!! Lol

[@victoriajohnnyrodriguez1369]

Fantastic!

[@landisjohnson627]

I’m buying a house with older mid century windows that aren’t solid glass panes but have a middle section and open outward, so blinds wouldn’t lay nicely over the window. I believe that Roman shades would look better but to buy them is way too expensive. I think I can definitely do this. Thanks for this video.

[@flormedina4325]

Excelent video!!

[@baljeet50]

how did you put the pull up cord through the slats?? missing that part in the video

[@ashmoise3175]

Yours was the best one!

[@dragontamer1350]

This was a great tutorial with a few minor steps missing. I like the use of the "wooden" blinds. Everyone is thinking you used wood, but those are plastic wood look blinds. I use to have them. I like this idea better than using the mini blinds. Seems sturdier. Would've liked for you to add in your tutorial how you raise them up and down as I don't see the pull cord in your finished product. I know installation is the same as if you are installing the blinds. Also missing is how you decided how many slats to leave behind. Otherwise great tutorial and am thinking of doing this myself!

[@angv2997]

For those of us who don't know what is a latter cord or which one is the latter cord we probably will cut the wrong one as it wasn't zoomed in and couldn't distinguish what was being cut.

[@1105pitbull]

I don't see how the shade is pulled up. Where is the part that you grab to bring the shade up? I see it running through the slats and ending at the bottom but what does the other end do?

[@Grace26262]

Well done easy to follow video

[@sammiedav1053]

looks great ... one suggestion; if you add lining to the back, you can have better light coverage, also you can see the fabric better when it is pulled down, if you are on the other side everything would look cleaner and not show all the cords and blind pieces.

[@ChristinaOstil115]

great design

[@chimlyn1]

Great tutorial I have some old blinds so I will definitely give this a go, what sort of material did you use as it looked quite stiff.

[@SFHardy]

Cool! I'm assuming you dismantled used old blinds that you didn't want anymore.

[@sharrison44]

For a true beginner like myself, it would be helpful to have a few more details...what type of blind you bought, a starting summary of the project, a demo of how they work when you are complete, etc...any commentary that helps me to avoid mistakes. Especially when I would have to go out and purchase a blind to cut up... Thanks!

[@sarahmunromaddonna6264]

Hey Jennifer! In your opinion, would these work as well if you used a second piece of fabric on the other side of the slats? Maybe ironing fusing tape between front and back materials? If so, do you think gluing the second piece to the slats would be good to do also, or no? Thanks for the input! And the video. It's perfectly short and sweet! ❤️

[@janielapierre8699]

I need to add blackout fab attached for my RV. I am getting rid of the wood blind in there so maybe I’ll play with it……This video is 9 years old and don’t k ow if they’ll be any responses from the owner.

[@CowboyGirl007]

wow, what a neat idea. question: I have a 72" wide, 13" deep window. how many slats should I reattach? my blinds have 7 ladder cords. can I still do this project with a blind that size?

[@margobergene463]

I have used the old vanes from blinds to make drawer interlocking drawer dividers. I thought it would be a good use for the pieces you don't need for this project. Just measure your space, then cut about half way through each piece and it will stand on its own. If you want pictures let me know.

[@constancemcguire5870]

Great video but how do you hang them?

[@carolinaburgos6556]

OMG this is awesome! My husband and i just purchased a house and i have too many windows to work with, and i really want to use roman shades at least for the main windows, like bedrooms, living room and dinning room. (pretty much everywhere except the hallways, bathrooms and kitchen lol)... But i have no blinds tho, i don't know if i should buy some cheap ones to do the roman shades or what. It's gonna cost be more to buy the blinds and also the fabric etc.. Any suggestions? Pls advidse! :(

[@vandanascreations8233]

Beautiful

[@Tkyle5127]

How much fabric? Measurement of windows plus how much extra fabric?

[@secondnature22]

Hello. Thanks for the video. Are these functional? Where does the pull cord go to raise and lower the shades?

[@JenniferWest]

Hello! yes, these are still functional to raise and lower. That is why you don't cut the main cord and you still have the slats. The main cord that raises and lowers the blind is now behind the fabric, so you do have to reach behind the fabric now because it is hidden, but then you can raise and lower the shade just like you would your blinds. Hope that helps!

[@secondnature22]

Jennifer West I see, I figured, but wanted to make sure. Thanks so much for the quick reply. Hope mine come out as well as yours!

[@JenniferWest]

nyc2525 No worries! Glad to help :-) It may take a while to do the first one, and then you will be cranking them out really quick!

[@bloomfarms797]

Do you think this would be do-able with metal mini blinds??

[@lynnhanson4558]

Great Vdo! Thank you!

[@javeriataimoor411]

hello can this be made by using vynl blinds or it has to be wood one?

[@victoriagodley5277]

Genius! Thank you

[@judithjessee4953]

Doesn't the hot glue show through?

[@lanaluna562]

There are definitely a number of particulars like that to take into consideration. That may be a great level to carry up. I provide the ideas above as general inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you bring up where the most important factor will probably be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged round issues like that, but Im sure that your job is clearly recognized as a fair game. Each girls and boys feel the affect of only a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.

[@homemadedandkat2022]

and how do you wash them after

[@ChrischoBoardgaming]

Diane Taylor Good question, you probably don't. If those slats weren't glued on, but instead sewn into tightly fitting "slat pockets", one might be able to pull the slats out before stuffing the rest into the washing machine. Oh, but then there's that pulley and whathaveyou attached...

[@ChrischoBoardgaming]

I haven't watched the whole video, only the start and the end to see if this video, like maaany others, also doesn't show the shades "in action", i. e. being operated. I can only assume that those are tricky to use. Thanks for the rest, though.

[@cutefrenchbunny]

I just finish to make one ,, but didn't have wood , I use mini blind ,,, its work !!! but the only think is some glue show on the right side , probably use a lighter type of tissue, to fix it I will add deco lace. As for time by the time I cut length and width of the tissue it took me 5 hours to make one .. but I'm sure the next one will take less time :)

[@palmina77italiana]

+Monic Cousineau mini blinds work also?? That's what I have and my toddler broke some of the plastic shades so I want to make these.

[@CHERITAHARDMAN]

Easy to make

[@SweetieBJB]

It would have been helpful if you had begun at the beginning. More detail is needed prior to "cut your ladder cord."

[@chenelson185]

your a genius thank you

[@Berniee2000]

Use close captions if you don't want to listen to the music. I'm going to buy my blinds and fabric at the Goodwill store. I need a small version of this for my kitchen window and a long one on my back door (too much sun in both places).

[@omarziyad]

good nice wonderful

[@Naturelover00023]

pretty cool

[@ПётрСолнцев-ъ8к]

если прошить складками ,полосками горизонтальными ,будет красивее,и приклеивать не стоит ,потом стирать не удобно будет

[@Saved-qv2ow]

Good video right to the point. But, like all other videos they neglect to show how they work once up!! One can only conclude not so great!

[@deenapetersen3499]

Left out a whole lot of information.

[@trentizaiah6498]

You probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days xD

[@liamanthony628]

@Trent Izaiah Definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D

[@hugoderrick9361]

@Trent Izaiah Yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself =)

[@SaaryLiveNow]

Great video, but depressing music.

[@oaktjen]

It doesn't help that everyone plays that tune waaaaay slower than Beethoven intended

[@judithladson3993]

+Jj Morris REALLY? who cares

[@evilharibo1015]

Hi Sean x

[@karolynarmstrong5988]

I am living in a apartment with already has valances; DIY seems to only use permanent curtains

[@lorilawlove7721]

Too vague on everything! How many slats to save??? No suggestions on the length. Just another person showing off... ugh.

[@asvolkland]

Norma Lawrence She said to use the fabric length you would like and as many slats you want.

[@michellem6628]

Good info, sad music 😴

[@lauracullen8122]

What an expensive waste of wood Venetian blinds.

[@caroleejohnson1553]

Laura Cullen I was thinking,why the hell would u cut that blind up?😞

[@MissNikki0977]

More expensive for Roman shades

[@elizabethc.z]

AND she can't wash the curtains now...

[@yokotoyama]

@@elizabethc.z They are not curtains, they are a window shade. People do not typically wash curtains unless they got something on them, or let dirt and dust build up from not dusting them.

[@inspiremeclio3534]

Why this music???? It's totally distracting.. I mean a saw the half of the video and the only thing I could think of was ..why this music??..

[@keytlindean1238]

is cute

[@nicoleboza1265]

This music is fucking annoying...not to mention a lot of directions seem to be missing...fail!

[@lauracullen8122]

It appears you are ironing on your dining table! Rethink.

[@pipermonte8780]

So slow ..

[@jafallica]

Horrible video
