Don't buy BLINDS. Make them for less than $1

How to make blinds for window DIY. Simply and cheap hack

[Indigochildwithin]

Works better if you drill two holes..I've done this when staying in rented accommodation,
You can use velcro.instead of double tape if the room gets steamy.
Also great if you want to change the decor...often.
The thick embossed wallpaper makes great paper blinds.
You can get kids to draw their own design for blinds in their bedrooms.they are so proud of their designs, as they lie in bed looking at their art work.. using a plain colour.
I did this with my God children....( i have 10 so trust me they love it)❤

If you glue a yard stick under the last pleat and thread the string and knot it, when you pull the string it will raise up evenly. 😊

You can use eyehole sticker used in filing papers to stop the tearing and expansion of the holes.

My mom bought cheap plastic vertical blinds and then found fabric she liked and glued fabric to both sides of the blinds. She then had my dad make a valance with wood, which she draped with the same fabric. Most beautiful curtains! She has had them for about 30 years and they still look brand new.

I've done this multiple times but you need more holes with the string to balance it out. Loved it

Can't afford new curtains any longer. This is just what I needed to see. I thank you so much you truly bought a tear to my heart. Warmly a friend named mary. Thanks for the smile.

Thanks for sharing, this is awesome and can't wait to do this. The blinds my landlord keeps replacing keeps breaking so this would definitely come in handy.

Drill three holes, one each end and one in the middle. Thread string to the tops, stick a ring in the top midle thread left and middle string through to meet right strig, knot together when blind is lowered to the bottom of window then run string down sides to a hook on the wall or nail to fasten and it becomes cheap up/ down blind.

I've never thought of that. Great idea. I'd probably drilled two holes to make it, had I known. But, still very creative. Thanks for sharing that with us.

I Love this idea! I bet it will work beautifully with fabric and some argo starch to make the fabrick stiff❤

[deebos]

I did this 30 years ago, young newly married and broke 😊 great solution when on a tight budget ❤

I am so happy to find this. You would not believe how much antique wall paper I have. Thank you so much.

Last time I checked Bunnings wallpaper was about $80.00 per roll. Cheaper to buy the blind.

[susanstreet]

That would insulate too.thank you for the idea

[eslei]

I love it. Thank you for sharing. Wonderful idea.

The same can be done with fabric and cord. The tape can then be replaced by a rod.
