How To: Turn Mini-Blinds into Roman Shades.
By Chrisjob
Face it: No one ACTUALLY likes the look of mini-blinds, but many of us simply continue to let them hang cause they're there, and they do their job, and it's easier than starting over. So, check out this tutorial: Jenny from Little Green Notebook offers a how-to for turning your mini-blinds, already sized and hardware hung, to create custom Roman shades.
Simply determine how many folds you'd like, cut out all but that many of the slats, glue on your fabric, and go.
Supplies:
Tape measure
Scissors
Fabritac (or comparable fabric glue - NOT HOT GLUE!)
Mini blinds
Fabric
Trim

I'm not sure what I'd be gluing the fabric to, I realize glue it to the few blinds you didn't cut out, but what about the string, do you glue it over it, it's such an awesome idea, just wish the tutorial explained it a little better.
