Roman shades are made from flat fabric panels that fold up, accordian-style, via a simple ring and cord system. Anyone with basic sewing skills can make these tailored shades.
Jump-start your shade-making project by reading our general directions. Then purchase a shade-making kit and supplies that meet your style and skill level.
The products without slats at the fold lines and those with a thick fabric base will give a softer pleat than those with a dowel or slat inserted into the fold lines.

Would be nice if you gave a link to where to purchase the things you talk about in these instructions along with pictures of the items...otherwise these directions are virtually useless...and I've made roman shades before and was totally confused.
