DIY No Sew Draped Shade

Need something on your windows but don't have much money to spare? This may be the perfect project for you! I made this draped shade for under $10 and it involved no sewing at all. You could make yours for much less depending on the fabric you choose as that is where your expense is. So, all you need is a tension rod ($2), no sew tape ($3) fabric, ribbon and an iron. Follow the instructions on the no sew tape to make nice seams on all sides according to the length you need. After your seams are made, hang on tension rod and drape 2 pieces of ribbon over the rod so the ribbon is on both back and front sides of the fabric. Finally, tie your ribbon up as high as you would like your shade to drape from. Done! If you need privacy, simple untie the ribbon. 

I got the idea from a draped shade on Urban Outfitters but did not have $34 per window to spend. Quick saving tip- I got my supplies at Hobby Lobby and printed a 40% off coupon for 1 non sale item. Print your coupon before you head to the store in case the fabric you love is not on sale.
