Looking for a stylish, simple way to add privacy and keep the sun out of your home? Consider making a no-sew DIY Roman shade! They make a great addition to a kitchen or bathroom window.

If you don’t have a sewing machine, this project is the perfect way to add a little flair to your home while keeping the sun out. Whether you love to sew or are picking up a new hobby, you’ll enjoy picking out a fun patterned fabric and putting the shade together. 

We love Roman shades because they’re not only easy to make, but are easy to use, too. Just pull down or up on the bottom of the window treatment to adjust it. 

Crafts by Amanda offers a tutorial for a DIY Roman shade. She not only provides instructions for each step but careful measurements as well. You might have extra fabric at home from a previous project, or you can make a trip to the craft store to pick up something new. Tension rods, hooks, and fabric tape are the other resources you’ll need.

Let us know in the comments where you’ll put your DIY Roman shade!
