    I love this idea! I have some brown blinds in my house {that were there when we bought it} and I have been saving to buy new fabric. This would be such an easy solution to the panels I was going to make. Thanks for sharing!

    Great! Pay special attention not only to the fabric used for curtains panels, but also on rods, rings or eyelets can make a difference in how unattractive your curtains. The items you use may also be Dress-up room or dress down for a more casual look.

    I love to idea. So gracious of you to have the tutorials for free! Is this Indianapolis blinds? I love the net effect. It limits the light in your room! I want to do this treatment on my shutters’ Indianapolis style to make it more sexy and classy. Thanks again!

    Love these ideas! We have loads of old blinds. What a great way to put them to use. I’ll have to try the in my kids’ room. I wonder if they’ll endure blackout material for brighter mornings.
