How To Make A Roman Shade From Mini Blinds - Cheap DIY Room Decor Ideas 

Beautiful, loved the fabric you choose.

Thank you for this short video with enough details for a true DIY’er to complete this project. I used hot glue but did not think to iron the seams 1st 🙏🏽. If you don’t want to DIY, then go buy. Simple

My cat has broken all my blinds at the bottom leaving gaping holes This is a great way to reuse my broken blinds and save some money. I plan to double side it so they look nice from the outside as well.Thank you!

SUPER AWESOME

OMG Thank you for sharing this incredible project I love this and you made it look easy I do want to make this Thanks again Happy Crafting

Cool idea!

This is a great idea! How do I know which cords to cut, to keep the up and down function in tact? Thank you in advance.

Awesome video, thank you so so much. And will be using glue also 🤣

Great job on the camera motion wind threading the blinds that were attached to the fabric. Did you have your camera on a roller or was that edited together?

How does the back side look through window when shade is down?

Never glue! Use stitch witch and velcro and some lining!

I just know if I tried I’d mess them up. So. I’ll be buying my roll up shades. It’ll be a change from the blinds.

Does it stay in place if you want to leave it all the way down?

How does that look from the outside of the house?

Which cord are you cutting in order to raise them up and down?

They look awesome.. but can you do the back to.. sort of a yucky view to the outside. My neighbors wouldn’t appreciate it. Lol

😯

There is no cord to pull - how do you secure these in place?

But how does it look from the outside in?

Ya'll need to calm down and let her do her thing 😂 It just screams "I'm unhappy with my life and need to feel important so I'm going to take my frustration out on a DIY blind video" 🤦‍♂️ I thought it was a very creative idea!

One CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THING to do when measuring windows is to take 6 measurements instead of 2 in order to get the most accurate size possible for your window treatments!! ALWAYS measure length at the left side, center, and right side; then measure width at top, middle, and bottom! Of these measurements, use the largest dimensions for length and width. Additionally, BEFORE you cut anything, use the Carpenter's Rule: Measure twice and cut once! This rule is especially important when using expensive fabrics and fabrics in limited supply. Also, in home decorator fabrics, be mindful of pattern repeats, which will also have a tremendous influence on the yardage of fabric required for your shade, especially if you have to match the patterns in the fabric to properly make your shade. Some of my suggestions are included in commercial home decorator patterns in fabric stores and online. An alternative to mounting the Roman shade in the traditional way is to make a curtain rod pocket at the top of the shade, attach a cord lock guide onto a covered board at the rightmost or leftmost edge (depending on which side you decide from which to operate the shade), and place eye screws or cord guides on the same board as your cord lock at the top of the shade. The cord farthest from the cord lock will be the longest because it will be threaded from the bottom of the shade to the top, across the top through the cord guides or eyes, run through the cord lock, then down about halfway the shade length. Subsequent cords would be threaded in the same way across the shade. The cord lock needed will depend on the number of cords needed to properly operate the shade and the fabric weight used for your shade. Additionally, with cord locks, no cleat needs to be installed on the wall or window frame. When installing Roman shades in an apartment, or where drilling permanent holes is undesirable or prohibited, the procedure described may be a feasible alternative. If you can find a Magic Shade® window treatment, that may clarify what I am describing; however, I understand that Magic Shade® products are discontinued. On the whole, you did a great job with your shade!

My cord went back in now what😫

Seems like you just kept trimming, which was a huge waste of fabric 🤷🏽‍♀️

Crap.

Annoying music!

Just make regular Roman shades or buy some curtains

Rubbish
