Does anyone have any suggestions on how to cover Arched windows with Sheer Window Fabric, or just any ideas at all? I really want to cover them up.

I hope this makes sense, I will try to explain it as best I can.

This will work on the arch window that is separate from the rectangle ones below, the ones that have their own ledge.

If you go to Home Depot/Lowes, there is some molding that is painted white, it's not wood, it's very bendable and quite long. You can cut it with a knife or box cutter....... cut it to the length of the arch. Buy some sheers and slip it onto the molding, (the top of the sheers should already be stitched to slip into a rod). When you stick it up in the window the fabric will all come towards the middle. Bunch it up and put a rubber band to make it like a flower looking thing, fluff the sheers to hide the rubber band. It looks pretty good, and is SO cheap to put together.

Try looking up "Hunter Douglas shades" online. They will do arches. Many sites will send you free samples of the fabric and colors.

We bought arch wooden blinds at JC Pennies for all of our windows. They do custom sizes so you can get some to fit in all size arches in your house.

We went through this same problem and ended up getting wooden blinds made for them. It was a bit more than I would have liked to have spent, but it looks great and keeps the sun out.

We had custom shutters made for ours. It's pretty expensive, but the only option I'm aware of.

We have eyebrow windows and I treated them just like square toped ones. We took the fabric on some to where the straight part stops and left the eyebrow open. Others where I used drapes, I went higher with the drapes and put the sheers behide.
