Swedish Blinds are a classic and easy to make window covering. They're a fabric roller shade. I've been planning to make these for years, and I finally did it! I felt intimidated but it was surprisingly easy! Follow along to find out how to make them for yourself!
A note about the twill tape: Please make sure you keep the twill tape WELL AWAY from children's reaching hands, wrapped around a blind cleat, and out of their reach.
