Shop For Roman Shade, Balloon Shade and Austrian Shade Goods

These basic Roman Shade, Balloon Shade and Austrian Shade Goods allow you to build your shade mounting board (also called a headrail) from a Short or Long Roman Shade Mounting board, Sew-On Velcro and one of the shade lifting goods solutions. The Flat Roman Shade uses the Short Roman Shade Rib or Long Roman Shade Rib in combination with Roman Shade Tube Tape to enforce the distinctive "folds" of a Flat Roman Shade. A Balloon Shade is sewn using either Balloon Shade Ring Tape or Balloon Shade Loop Tape along with Shirring Tape across the top to create its subtle "balloon" look. The Austrian Shade uses either Austrian Shade Ring Tape or Austrian Shade Loop Tape in combination with Shirring Tape to create its dramatic scallops. Combine these items with a shade lining and shade cord goods solution and you'll have a complete do it yourself shade solution.

A Make-Roman-Shades.com Exclusive:

If you don't have a shade pattern, project plan or shopping list you can quickly combine the three when you create, purchase and then print a custom pattern for your specific shade type and size. Visit my custom pattern web page to preview this time-saving feature for yourself.

Roman Shade Sew-On Rings
Roman Shade Sew-On Rings

Details 

White plastic sew-on rings. A lower cost but greater labor alternative to shade tapes and/or shade ribs.

A Strong Note Of CautionA Flat Roman shade made with Sew-On Rings, lacking ribs, DOES NOT have any way to hold the shade's "folds" in place across the width of the shade. When raised, a Flat Roman shade made with Sew-On Rings tends to have the fabric "bunch up" and WILL HAVE TO BE FUSSED WITH EACH TIME IT IS RAISED in order to manually recreate the crisp folds that come naturally to a ribbed Flat Roman shade.  More details...

When are Sew-On Rings appropriate with a Flat Roman shade?

If your shade is going to be relatively stationary OR you don't mind fussing with your shade every time it is raised.
