    This is my favorite tutorial. I have seen so many ways to make a roman shade but this technique gives you a great roman shade look without the complicated process of making them! I can't wait to make these for my large kitchen window and the french doors that are on the same wall as the large kitchen window! I'll post pics once I have them finished!

    Kamila: If by a more pleated look you mean you want more (narrower) pleats on your shade, just space the vertical rings more closely together than the 6" recommended here. You would not want to go closer than 4" between each ring, however.
    Hope that helps! Feel free to reply if we misunderstood the question.

    Really good, easy to follow demo. Thanks.
    Love the fabric.
    Can't wait to move home to dig out my sewing machine and make something!
    Have to settle for watching vids on RUclips for a little while longer.

    IF YOU CAN'T FIND SPLIT RINGS...Just buy a few extra solid rings and cut them with a pair of snips. They will do the exact same thing.

    • @kathygilbert1970
      @kathygilbert1970 4 месяца назад

      Thank you!! The split rings I've bought are practically impossible to use. They're as tightly wound as key rings. I'll try your tip.

    Do i have to line the fabric?

    • @underwaycreations3969
      @underwaycreations3969 Месяц назад

      Yes, you should line with white or cream cotton or cotton/poly blend mid or lightweight fabric.

    Cathy: The split rings are available on the RowleyDIY website: type "ring" in the search field and the split rings are on the second page of the search.
    Best of luck with your project.

    In England, the only split rings available are metal and quite difficult to work with.

    Could this technique be used for a relaxed Roman shade look?

    • @rowleycompany1
      @rowleycompany1  8 лет назад +1

      +Brenda Parker Absolutely. Instead of cutting a rectangle, cut a trapezoid
      (wider at the bottom than the top) to get a swag effect on the final shade.

    How far apart are the rings vertically?

    • @Designsbydonnaatlanta
      @Designsbydonnaatlanta 3 года назад

      Hello Karen. Thanks for watching the video! For this style shade valance, you may space the vertical rows of rings a pleasing distance for the size of folds you would like your shade to have. Typically this may be between 6-10". The further the distance between the vertical rows, the larger the folds of fabric.

    Could i just place rings on the outside for a relaxed roman shade?

    • @underwaycreations3969
      @underwaycreations3969 Месяц назад

      Yes, that would create a droopy relaxed look in middle of shade.

      Just cut the solid rings with snips. They work just the same as "split rings" because you "split" them.
