I stapled the blind to the wood, but the velcro is a fab idea if you need to wash it regularly. I only used 3 rods and next time I'm going to sew the rod pockets to the lining before I attach the 2 bits of fabric together.
Anyway the arrow in the pic is where it is secured to a cup hook. And it's only partially up.

Am a big fan thanks to receiving a good few items from you but only found this thread now lol...

I want to make a few roman blinds and curtains for the house so I think I'll use your link and start off with a small simple one ....

Thanks for the inspiration and the lovely creations ;-)
