DIY - Roll Up Blinds, how-to 

Finally a easy full demonstration on how it's done!! Thankyou!! So many videos no explaining how to

I understood how to restring my bamboo blinds as soon as I saw your simple drawing in the first minute! Thank you so much, it’s no longer a mystery to me!!! ❤

By far, THE best way to explain how to make a roll up blind. Thank you!

I made a blind following your instructions for the pulley system and it works. I used a piece of paisley cotton (an old drape), some sheeting for the lining, and sticks from a bamboo blind that was falling apart. I sewed channels for the sticks. I love it! Thanks for posting your video. I knew it was possible but I needed to see where the screws and cord would go.

finally a video that is to the point , thank you for this simple and easy to understand video , great job

Genius. Have been racking my brains for low cost patio blinds. Perfect. Thank you :)

I've just spend an hour trying to restring a bamboo blind, thinking the two pull ups must be interconnected. Saw your diagram at the beginning and everything clicked! Blind sorted - very clear instructions - thanks

wow. simple but straight to the point. this is what im looking for. pure DIY.

Short,to the point,simple and well explained. I just watched a video on how to make the blind but no fixing instructions ,so thanks for this video. I'm now inspired as I have plenty of bamboo( living in rural Philippines) and loads of windows

This is great. The diagrams you drew were very helpful

Thank you! Looking through tens of videos, you are the only one with a solution for this problem!

Awesmome idea! Looks simple enough, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

This is the easy tutorial to understand how to made roll up blind and of course with simple tools.. thanks for sharing this video, finally I could made my own bamboo roll up blind

Thank you for demonstrating so clearly how to create a roll up bamboo blind!!! This is great!!! This helped me so very much!

I agree; best explanation! Thanks for sharing. I like the diagrams, they are so clear. Helped me restring my own blinds. 🙏

I love your video and diagrams, I watched this, drove to our local hardware store and now have 2 bamboo blinds I made myself. Such a fun project and I'm so stoked with them. Thanks so much.

I love it when life is simplified. You are a smart man. Hope your channel does well you deserve it 💯 👍👍👍 😃

Ah so thankful. I had a messed up store and with your sketch got them functioning again!

At last ! A sensible, creative, inexpensive and attractive DIY blind tutorial. Thanks 🙂⭐️👍🏻

You just solved the my problem and saved me a whole bunch of money. Thank you!

Wow! I don't know how many videos I went through trying to find out how to make blinds, they failed until i found this one. Thanks, this is a great one! 100%

Thank you so so so much. Glad I watched your video first. Your mechanism is much simpler than I had in mind.

Just what I needed!! Thank you. So simple.

The illustration added clarity to the project!!!! Brilliant!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks Bob Bee !!!!! It is very use full in window and balcony area. You explain in very simple way. Thanks once again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this!

thank you! love how you went straight into instruction.

You're an artist after my own heart. THat's just how I would have drawn the schematics. This was very helpful! I am considering making roll-up blinds using heavy 10-gauge clear vinyl shower curtains to make rain blinds for our screen porch. It gets some high winds and blowing rain.

❤ thank you for explaining so well.

I LOVE this! I'm doing a beach theme for my bathroom and didn't know what to do for the window. This is perfect! Thank you for sharing 😊

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great explanation. Thank you 😊

Thankyou for this. They look great. I've been looking for a decent tutorial on how to make these. You explain very well and have inspired me, can't wait to get started.

Totally useful. I've been watching many videos on RU-vid to get the right direction for making roll up blind window easily and friendly.. also cheap cost if possible. None of them satisfied me, they're unclear or even so complicated. Finally i got it here. I saved this video and then made it by my self successfully. It's looks nice. Thanks so much dude

After searching a lot this video came at last. Thank you very much for simplifying this.

Thank you so much for this. Got DIY insulation blinds up using this super clear tutorial. It's the best compared to other guides I found. :-)

Thank youuuu! I was looking for someone that could explain it like you did. So helpful!

You made it so simple. Thanks and God bless! :)

Great tutorial ! Detailed and right to the point. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thanks for the video. You went straight to the point and you were very humble.👏👍

Thanks, simple & clear instructions, just what I was after!

Thanks so much for these excellent instructions. Very clear step-by-step. You've empowered me!

Thank you very much for this. I've watched a lot of 'How To' roller blind videos where the blinds are made out of kits we have to purchase but I'd yet to find a 'How To' that was completely DIY using creativity until I came across your video. Many thanks.

This is perfect! You explained and showed it so clearly that I know exactly how to do it. Best tutorial video I've seen. 😀👍

Thank you for explaining in a very clear manor. Thank you.

U made it and explain it a very easy manner . God bless you.

Amazing simplicity. DIagram was extra helpful. Thank you!

Great DIY instruction. Help me a lot to make my own roll up blinds. 👌👍

Thank you so much! Your diagram is great. So helpful.

Thank you for teaching this, god bless you

Good man. I didn't make my own, but was given some bamboo blinds which weren't rolling up. Thanks to your video I managed to simply fix them.

Thank you, you make it so easy to understan

omg! u r just awesome. never seen a video which clearly explains how its done. thanks a ton!! surely gonna do.

Thanks for sharing what you made.

Genius hack. Thanks for showing the way.

Needing Less is obviously brilliant; 'needed less to say what I was gushing! Great! Subscribed. Our hearts and minds are with you, and all of Hong Kong today.

Straight up excellent instructions. Thank you

Simple explanation! Thank you!!❤

Excellent video! Concise, clear communication (brilliant drawings and editing) and clever solution requiring no tools except scissors.

so straight to the point yet detailed. good video man

This is the best video on this topic I have seen. Thank You

Very clear instructions. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for this video because home Depot outside blinds are now cordless, and when it starts storming I don't have time to manually roll up blinds! Thank you!

Awesome and amazingly easy way to show us how to. You're talented!! please make more simple to understand DIY PROJECTS. THANKS A LOT!! GOD BLESS!

Thank you for this. I need to be able to raise and lower a tarp for shade. I was looking at a pulley system but couldn't find anything that easy and cheap. Your video just fits the bill. Very good diagram and visual instructions. Have a wonderful summer.

Priceless!...thanks so much for you excellent instructions! I have to tackle creating two 4 foot blinds out of bamboo outdoor fencing material (available at HD) because the now government mandated No Cords rule is in effect (I completely understand the need for this change). But we have no pets or little ones around and find the new cordless roll-up style blinds much too cumbersome to manipulate. Love that you used cable ties and eyelets...some of my standard fixings for DIY! I’ve even figured out how to hang standard mini-blinds without using those nasty brackets....just screw eyelets into the window trim or header (we have crappy trim so I didn’t care if it got damaged)...loop a cable tie around the horizontal top post of the blind...feed it tie thru the eyelet and secure it...easy-peasy and done!

Thank you. Very easy. I need this

Bob, you’re a genius! Just what I needed, thanks so much!

Very smart. Looks nice too

THANK you soooo much Sir!!! This is very practical & do-able!!!😊😊😊😊😊

Perfect video. Thanks to you I’ve just made my own blind.

I have same eight curtains from online but faced difficulty in installation meanwhile, luckily, i saw your installation processes, now i am mastered, thanks to you a lot.

checked out a few videos, but your explanation was the most understandable. thank you very much. :)

Wonderful tutorial!!! Thanks for the video.

Great job mate 👍 excellent. Thanks .

I rarely give comment. But your useful video deserved my likes

Best tutorial ever. Thank you!

This is the best example ever. Thankyou

excellent, thank you Bob!

I've been shopping around for a bamboo/rattan shade or blind to use outside on our patio, but they're so expensive. I found reed fencing at a garden store that I can use in the same way you're using your bamboo mat. Your instructions are very well done! Thank you!

Wow!! Awesome DIY and very nicely done! I love the diagram you drew to explain it, made it super easy to understand the design and working of the pull-up wires. Thanks!!

Awesome, a big thanks from El Paso Texas USA

Fantastic video, great instructions, finally understood the way this works. Thanks!

It worked for me when trying to re string my bamboo blinds. Thanks

Wow genius. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this easy guide...

I recently stumbled into a large supply of outdoor material. Solid white. I'm going to make a giant 20 foot long one of these for a roll sun porch. I was looking for this mechanism. Thank you so much. I could almost figure it out, but not quite. Instead of beating my head against a rock I used or best info tool. Thank you for making it so easy to understand.

gracias Maestro fue el unico que entendí y explico tan bien- Gracias y Bendiciones de Argentina

You saved me with this diagram spent 30 minutes looking at the mechanism on my own trying to figure out how the ropes intertwine 😂

Waow!!! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍 you rock!

So I thought - gee maybe RU-vid will have something that shows how... First one I watch - this one. DONE! GREAT THANKS (Gracias?)

Your illustrations are impressive.

Love u men. Was looking for this all the day. Greetings from France.
