An interior view of window with a sheer shade raised halfway up.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
