Steps:

1. Measure length and width of window. Add five inches to length measurement.
2. Fold under top edge 1/2 inch press. Fold again to a two-inch width to hold dowel and secure with fusible webbing. Repeat on bottom with a 1-1/2-inch hem.
3. Glue strips of ring tape to the top, sides and in the middle (slightly smaller than all measurements).
4. Tie a knot in the trim on the lower left ring and string the rope trim up the left side and along the top. Tie a knot after the upper right ring and let excess hang down the length of the right side.
5. Tie a knot on the lower middle ring and string the trim up through the middle and to the upper right. Tie a knot after the upper right ring and trim excess to about three inches.
6. Tie a knot on the lower right and string trim through right side rings. Tie a knot after the upper right ring and trim excess to about three inches.
7. Use the one long length of trim to raise and lower shade.
