- Modular shelf unit
- Cotton canvas or twill
- Scissors
- Sewing machine or needle
- Thread
- Tension rods
Decide where you want the canvas cover on the shelves.
For each shade, cut the canvas to the length and width of the space you wish to cover, leaving room for hems along three sides and a 1-inch rod pocket at the top.
Hem three sides.
Sew a rod pocket into the top large enough to fit the tension rod.
Place the tension rod through the rod pocket.
Install the tension rod into the desired space.







Even easier than sewing, why not use fusible web (rion on glue tape) for this project. The tape is easy and would also give the sides a little structure to help them hang straight.
