Roman blind made from bamboo blind

Using the same method of gluing fabric to mini blinds, I brought some spring into my dining room.

I bought a piece of fabric for $4.00 at the thrift store.

Previously I had a bamboo blind up and my lamp shade was slipcovered in black fabric.

There was just enough to make the blind and slipcover the drum shade.

I didn’t bother to sew the fabric on the shade, I just used pins. Easy to change that way.

A quick update for $4.00, can’t beat that!

  10. That looks great. Did you just fold the fabric up, like a roman shade and pin it? I pinned my 3rd pillow on my patio set cause the party was coming too fast. It's almost a year later and I still have to fix it. The cushions and pillows have spent the winter in the garage. Time to get them out again. Enjoy your new dining room.
