if you love someone, now i mean really really really love someone, never, ever ask them to help you with a craft project you really aren't sure about. i imagine it is like trying to build a house from bottom up but on a slightly smaller scale. i am sure people have been stabbed over such projects. i know this because i was tempted more than once to stab hubby as he held the shade up while i tried to sew the rings on. poking him with a needle seemed like the correct response to his "i can't hold this forever you know." so after who knows how many hours it is finished. not only did i learn several things about measuring and measuring again, then having someone else measure because your arms aren't quite long enough to span the entire window. there is no such thing as a standard size window. the width at the bottom is not always the same width at the top. this goes the same for lengths. read ALL directions start to finish. after reading them once, read them again before you start cutting things. once something is cut it's pretty well go with it or trash it and start all over. it's a tad smaller than i wanted. i really need another 1/4" all around to completely cover the window. i wanted that because this is the window that faces the road as well as 2 street lights. so it's a start. now after trying it once i think i might brave another one. i think i know where my rough parts were and can try to avoid them in the future. i will post the credits a little later once i get the hang of getting external links in the way i like it. so yay me! i finished something. crap lighting, i better get this thing shut down. see ya later!
ok here's the link to the site i used : Terrell Designs
