This was so helpful! I made them for our kitchen. I got both types of rings on Amazon. Also, I ended up using a heavier type of fabric - so I found that I didn't really need to add the "rod" at the bottom. The tricky part for me, was that I made them for a bay window - so I had to modify Scott's mounting directions. I layed the board flat, and just screwed it into the window molding. The shade doesn't stick out as far, but that's fine - I didn't plan on putting another shade underneath.
Hello thank you for your tutorials, Do you have a tutorial on a soft roman shade valance with returns? Would you make it straight or would you have to angle the bottom to give the fullness. Do not want pleats for the fullness, just straight and with fullness.
I have tested it on several different fabrics and it only worked on a few, I would also worry about the heat from the sun. I think for now I will stick to the sewing machine! Thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for the video; I am starting to make one of these. Looking at the ebay sources for rings, will split rings 3/4" ID and 1 1/8" OD snap onto the Roman shade rings that are 3/8" ID and 5/8" OD?
Is the calculation for the ring placement always 4" from bottom, 6.5", then continues with 5" depending on how many folds you require? For example, would a 22" long shade with 5 folds be 4" from bottom, 6.5", 5", 5", 5"?
I’m sorry I don’t see your question other than the comment “Why can’t you respond to anyone here? To be honest I get hundreds of questions a week and it’s very difficult spending hours answering. I pop my head in the comment section every now and then but like most I work long hours and like to enjoy a few hours of sunshine in the summer. Please ask your question again it may be far back in the comment screen. Also what you see on your end of the computer may look a lot different than mine! I see comments by date on all types of videos I have made in the last several years! Hopefully I can help you with your question thank you! Scott
