And here's a video showing you how to put together faux roman shades. Now that I've given you this video, you probably won't need the pattern, but that's OK with me! She uses plastic split rings, which may be hard to find. You could also use keyrings (you probably have a few million in your junk drawer) or small caribiner clips.
I bought this pattern secondhand. The envelope is damaged as shown, and the pattern is uncut, factory folded, and includes directions.
Please send me any questions you may have, and thanks for looking.
