How to Make a 2-Toned Button Window Shade
By DIY Maven
With the right buttons and fabric, this window shade could work in just about ANY style of room. And, dare I say, it's as cute as a button? (My bad.) Anyway, if you'd like to crank one out, here's a list of materials you'll need:
- Measuring tape
- 2 contrasting fabrics, for front and back of shade
- Scissors
- Pins
- Twill tape
- Metal ruler
- Pencil
- Thread
- Sewing machine
- Iron and ironing board
- Seam ripper
- 6 buttons
- Hand-sewing needle
- Tension rod to fit inside window
For the sewing instructions, head on over to this page at Women's Day.
