DIY Faux Bamboo Roman Shades Hack - Inexpensive and Easy

Hey Guys!
I hope you enjoy this weeks video! I had a ton of fun making it! Even if my house is covered in tiny bits of reed wood... I think cleaning the house will be my diy project for today! hahaha
Anyway... These faux bamboo roman shades are really simple to make and only took me a couple hours from start to finish. I absolutely love the texture and wood tones it gives to my house! I honestly feel like my home is FINALLY starting to come together to what my vision has been for it for a long time. It's so exciting! I hope at least one person finds this helpful and it can save them some $$$.
Hope you all have amazing weeks and I'll see you next Saturday!! :D
Laters!

This is EXACTLY what i've been looking for the last 3 hours! Thank you! This is brilliant!

[@georgie3523]

Great idea. Loved that you put it under the curtain rod but even with top of the window.

[@watch_sound_of_freedom]

You are a very talented woman, thank you so so much.

[@humblehomestead3190]

Seriously this is ingenious!!! Love it! Can you do more rental hacks?

[@eMegMBea]

EXCELLENT, EASY IDEA! Thank you for sharing!

[@sandrakorpela1850]

I think you did a great job

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

I just LOVE ❤️ this idea. I would have never thought about it. Great inspiration !!!

[@Natalia-oj6mm]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank u for the tutorial. I was a bit stuck on how to hang them. Thank You again

[@curban616]

That looks awesome!! I think it looks really good against the wall because you can’t see through it! Great idea!!

[@connieblackwell6509]

iGreat idea! I bought grass beach mats at the 99cent store and plan to do a similar treatment

[@nynurse2]

Great idea!!! Very clever! 👍👍👍

[@pamelahall517]

I watch a lot of these DIY videos doing some of the same stuff but watching you is way funner! Love your devoted dogs, your humor, the musical inserts, and your realistic approach to these projects. Plus you have a helpful husband! What's not to love? Someday you should do a house tour showing all the DYIs you've done. Liked your videos so much I'm a new subscriber!

[@jessicalynnathome]

That’s a great idea for a temporary cute fix!

[@GlueGunsRoses]

This would be great for my bathroom window. It is froafed glass so shades would only be for looks. Great idea! Thanks for sharing this ❤

[@conversations1250]

I like how you showed how the first try looked wrong, but you kept going.

[@michellehendrick7648]

This is brilliant! I was looking for a way to add bamboo blinds to our trailer!

[@lunamaxwell6190]

I'm not renting but don't want to buy expensive blinds/window treatments. Thanks for sharing your idea! I'm going to have to make some now.

[@sicilianmama1000]

Wow so creative and lovely!

[@lcrisci2002]

Looks very nice...and affordable! 👍😁 Tyfs and take care!

[@paeroa6833]

Looks great 👍🏾

[@WhitMcMo]

Wonder if twill tape and rolling the bottom could save me some work and look ok?

[@lzrd8460]

So, can your shades be lowered or they just decorative?

[@daublex2388]

Brilliant! Thanks so much for this!!

[@RVBadlands2015]

Love it.

[@hollyd1392]

This is not my particular style, but I have to say the diy was genius and for only $35-ish it looks amazing.

[@rubymimosa]

This is so very clever! Bravo!

[@mandytaylor2082]

Great tutorial! Key word is faux; realized while watching that the hack isn't for functional roman shades. That would take a bit more work figuring out the threading for the pulley system

[@nicolegoupil7179]

I was waiting to see what you would do to raise and lower the blinds but you did say "JUST for looks". DOES look good, just does nothing for shade or privacy purpose.

[@luxlife2677]

Just a heads up and tip: the added wire, I have used inthe past, and they rust and they almost made a full year before falling apart. Sidenote: im referring to exterior use. But also could use for inddor of course. But I since painted strips of it , to add more protection and esp/ the cut ends. Also if you can get thicker material, you will be happier for it. again, for indoor use, probably be just fine. Also used rope, but the thinner rope, which cant think of name right now, hahaha. Anyway, Props to our fearless author here. Bravo!

[@scotty7132]

Sweeeeet! Very nice!

[@sandygarcia7435]

Great idea n you did an excellent job...🌻

[@cc3mathews]

It looks great!

[@arifajamal680]

The bamboos were broken and uneven ..are these new.. 24 dollars from home depot sounds expensive ...but you did a great job

[@judybolen1873]

Love your ideas!

[@thechickincharge1073]

Wow! I love it! You smart cookie!

[@constancebuckler7718]

Love this idea!!

[@sistarkenyasue2078]

Greetings would the plastic rip ties b lighter and quicker can we see them drawn up and down. Thank you

[@paulalusk5586]

Great idea! And looks great?

[@MariaSoto-fy4yh]

Love it 😍

[@sabrinamariesayre]

Does it come down? I’ve never seen a Roman window shade before.🤔

[@Lasomie]

Sabrina Sayre this ones definitely a faux one, but roman shades usually do! they fold like pleats

[@numansabit6298]

Shit

[@marysweet7620]

Are those the fitted sheets as your curtains?

[@Coeditor4089]

So these so-called shades don't actually unfold to provide said shade?

[@ebluefairy8242]

Yeah I was looking for ones that I could use for covering the window when needed. This one doesn't. I'll keep looking.

[@tysonb3568]

Lol, they’re exactly what im looking for. Just need something for decoration behind curtains.... She did a good job. Thats why the title says faux guys.

[@paeroa6833]

Then go and pay $150 for functionality. This is a cheap way of creating an expensive look.

[@Coeditor4089]

@@paeroa6833 I was just looking for a shade. Sorry.

[@carrief6191]

What in the ham sandwich ?! This is genius.

[@cindypattana6071]

Should have made it longer so the light would shine thru a little bit.

[@mallymakings2853]

Genius idea! Thank You for sharing.x

[@becmartin7098]

Good job girl!!! 🙄🙄🙄

[@JMOM1968]

Love it!

[@bobsmith-ud9xi]

That window was huge

[@ladychicfashion1961]

👍🥰

[@gill2837]

Great - but gee i'm here watching these- i think i'll just buy a bamboo blind from Amazon lol

[@cornishpasty1990]

But it doesn't even work as a blind 🤦

[@stephensonselina48]

No way
