How to pull shades up with ribbons and not chords?

[younglady50]

I just recently picked up some cheap shade curtains. They have 2 ribbon panels on the front and back. Supposedly, you are suppose to tie the ribbons at the bottom to pull up the shade. The only problem is that when you do that the bottom of the shade is uneven and flimsy. Is there a way to draw it up and keep it uniformed and neat?

We have these curtains too and I love them. We roll them up, then tie them, and then fan the sides out.

I have similar curtains, but the ties are both on the front. So, they kinda scrunch up. We love them!

Thank you both for your responses. I was a little nervous at first as to how to hang them. But through you suggestions, they look great. This site is amazing. I didn't think that I was going to get any answers. But, indeed, I did.
