OK, I fully understand your directions on prepping the fabric by folding under the seams, but I am completely lost whe it comes to actually attaching it to your mini blinds.. I followed the link you included at the top of the page of the woman who sewed hers and used brass rings..I'm confused about how your no-sew with blinds marry her plans.. Can you clarify? Do do I attach the farbic to the blinds? Thanks so much!

I've been looking all over for EASY instructions on making a Roman Shade. I'd even seen a few posts using old mini-blinds. But yours is the first one I've seen that reallly makes sense to me... and the fact that it's no sew is an added bonus. I'm sold.

Thanks so much for taking the time to provide the instructions and all of the pictures. They're a great help. I can't wait to make shades for most of the rooms in my new-to-me home that I'm buying!

I, too, was looking for an easier way to make these for my living room windows! I'm wondering how I would add the liner and I'm not sure I would want the mini-blinds to be seen from the back...this will take a little thought. I will definitely use this excellent tutorial! Great job!
