IKEA Roman Shade - my no sew upgrade!

Want roman shades that have a specific, custom look? I used these IKEA Ringblomma roman shades and gave them a fun glow up with this beautiful fabric from Tonic Living. Best part - they're no sew curtains!

If you're ready for a fun and simple IKEA hack that anyone can do, this easy DIY project is for you!

P.S. The shades are IKEA's RINGBLOMMA.

Love the idea. Hilarious ending but hopefully you found a place for them :)

I love the ending! 😂
It helps me get over my mental block of “what if it doesn’t work out?” So what, if it doesn’t work out, try something else!

You made me laugh out loud, at the end..." I used curtains instead " - all that work, but kudos for going with what the room needed 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Actually hot glue in the sun will become brittle rather quickly. When gluing to fabric you should always use a fabric glue. There is one that is iron activated and is super strong, washable and not affected by sunlight.

Even though you decided another approach thisis demo is exactly what I need right now. So valuable.

That ending is something I would do!! As a result of that I've subscribed.

I'm so glad I watched this, I'm really needing something for my kitchen, my cats have been jerks, and broke the mini blinds, as cats do. I want them to be able to hang out in the window still, but I'm really tired of knowing people can look in.

I saw the same Roman blinds on Ikea's website, I like that they seem easy to raise and lower, but hate the lack of options. I want a fun pop of color in there! Or a pattern! Literally ANYTHING at this point! Sewing my own covers is feasible, but annoying. SO AFTER ALL OF THAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I can start maybe game planning now!

🤣🤣 You did great! Love the transparency of the use of traditional curtains instead!

Trial & error I love that you went with your idea and went with your idea even if you decided it didn't fit. I love the curtain they look beautiful. On I'm going to steel the Roman shade hack from you for my son's room. Thank you ☺️

They would make great darkening shades for winter or the bedroom

Haha. I realized that all the work I did doesn’t work so I did something else. Love it.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? They sure are easily customizable. I'm impressed with how you did that. Also like the curtains!
