Add Luxury & Warmth to Van Life with DIY Thermal Van Blinds

Van blinds are REALLY expensive to buy; so we set about making our own DIY thermal blinds out of a pair of curtains. We made 6 blinds for the price normally paid for one, they hook up in an unusually simple way too.

They needed to look good, be easy to store and easy to make - because, well it's our first time making them.

And of course we had to give them a little test to see whether the campervan blinds actually do hold in the heat and keep it blacked out inside - we might have to redo the final test.
