Faux Roman Shade Tutorial Using No Hardware

Tip- If your windows are all lined up and somewhat connected…Make sure all your Roman shades end up the same length or it will look funky.

Once you have your pleats figured out, pin in place and iron across. Sew down each side to secure the pleats.

Step 5- Minimal hand sewing (if needed)Depending on the weight of your fabric and the width you might need to add a few running stitches to keep the pleats from drooping. I sewed a running stitch up three separate lines on the back. I just catch a little bit of fabric each time just to hold them in place.

Step 1- Place sticky side to the edge of trim on the door so it will hang a little bit away from the door.

Here is the kitchen so you can see where the door is and the other decorative roman shades. The ones in the windows were made the same way but we hung them with a spring rod inside the windows. On the door you cannot hang them inside the window as there is no space for a spring rod so that is why we used velcro.
