Tutorial: How to make Roman shades for French doors

Cynthia from Meringue Designs and Deep Thoughts by Cynthia shows how you can make a Roman shade for your French doors. They’re made just like regular Roman shades, though with French doors you can’t use a 1″ x 2″ header because there is no place to nail it. Instead, she shows how you can mount the curtain using curtain rods and screw eyes. (If your door is metal, you can use a magnetic curtain rod.)
