The timing was perfect because of our office revamp (or rather, just vamp, seeing as we've done nothing to it at after living here over a year) and the the project was chosen-DIY Roman Shades.
My final version:
Post project thoughts:1) Crappy blinds yield a not so fabulous backbone of a shade. They function, as noted above, but the fabric is a home dec fabric thus its weight might be a little much for the flimsy blinds.
2) MEASURE ERIN, MEASURE. I'm not convinced each of my blinds are perfectly straight.
3) These blinds replaced the previous owners' white vinyl roller blinds. They are certainly a cosmetic upgrade, but in hindsight I wish I had used a blackout fabric on the back, as these are more light-filtering.
Overall, I like them for the pop of color to the room, and though the functionality is fair, it was also a project that satisfied my need for instant gratification.

I've been wanting to try these but the original tutorial seems super daunting. Your shades look great! Thank you for posting your tips!
You can do it! The instructions from the original post are pretty easy to follow. My only thought would to do a layer of lining if you want it to go in a room that you'd like to keep darker. The fabric I chose is a home dec fabric but it definitely is more light filtering than it was before.
Good luck!
I have been wanting to try this. Yours turned out great!
