I could explain it to you if you want to do it that way. It uses ties, instead of circles and cord.<br /><br />You can see them at homestory-anita.blogspot.com<br /><br />GREAT idea using the feedsacks. I also made some for my kitchen, but I used old toweling with the red stripes on the sides. <br /><br />AnitaAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899596172727294741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024778820738888976.post-37233331179456547322011-03-22T10:00:15.747-05:002011-03-22T10:00:15.747-05:00I used a no-sew diy roman shade plan from thriftyd...I used a no-sew diy roman shade plan from thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com, you just go to her search bar and type in roman shade. I used some thin material when I made mine, because it was summer and I didn't want to ruin expensive stuff if I didn't like how it turned out. I actually like them alot and can't wait for summer to get here so I can hang them back up. I will starch then though to make them not so limp. You just need your material, some iron-on seam tape, I used heat and bond, and some hooks. I supposed you could use fabric glue it you didn't have an almost 3 year old trying to "help". Good luck and can't wait to see how they turn out.Shinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868088157963608087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024778820738888976.post-74222598945397196442011-03-21T22:04:39.757-05:002011-03-21T22:04:39.757-05:00Ok I found the blog that I saw the tutorial on hop...Ok I found the blog that I saw the tutorial on hope it helps.<br />http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/09/diy-roman-shade/Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835565234667462983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024778820738888976.post-79466525652888951752011-03-21T21:23:13.498-05:002011-03-21T21:23:13.498-05:00That will be very cute and unique since you are us...That will be very cute and unique since you are using grain sacks.

They then layed the blind out and layed the material over it using fabric glue between the remaining slats and fabric and gluing the edges over. Good luck.AntiCookieCutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837399466737460428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024778820738888976.post-13375181270618389232011-03-21T19:47:29.002-05:002011-03-21T19:47:29.002-05:00(Katrina again.

I have no sewing skills, so suggestions on the how-to from me. I do have a ton of towels that my grandmother made from flour sacks though. It's funny because she spent hours bleaching out the labels and now I go antiquing to find towels with the labels still visible!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577823752322832736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024778820738888976.post-87085546578351822842011-03-21T19:28:18.988-05:002011-03-21T19:28:18.988-05:00can't wait to see them! i bet it will be amazi...can't wait to see them! i bet it will be amazing!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
