Diy Vertical Blind Makeover

These blinds got a total makeover with this simple process.

Diy vertical blind makeover.

Easily fix a broken vertical blind. If you re a quilter use old blinds to create a design wall. So the vertical blinds stayed and i just lived with them because they were functional. The blinds wouldn t go all the way down without some help so we slipped some thin lead weights inside the footer and the extra weight fixed the problem.

The existing vertical blinds slider has little hole slots that i was able to slip the s hooks right into and clip up the curtains with no problem. Great if you are in an apartment and want to change out those verticals that always start to fall of the track. The valance will drape down and hide the vertical blind hardware and the curtain panels can be opened to use the blinds or closed to hide them. Vinyl blinds are easier to clean and less expensive if you have to replace them.

One option would be sliding panels in a coated or vinyl roller shade fabric. Simply hang a curtain rod above the top of the vertical blinds. The other day they thought it would be fun to pull every single vertical slat down and broke at least half. Then came the most tedious part of this project making sure the slats were where i wanted them to be somewhat evenly laid out.

I hammered a few nails between the top rail and the blind slats so i could pull the blind all the way out while it was lying down. If fabric vertical blinds don t sound like they will work for you and you definitely don t want vinyl vertical blinds then you may want to consider another option entirely. Nothing is more annoying than when the overflow of blinds fall down. We have great quality mini blinds that worked perfectly until i did this roman blind makeover and got rid of the weight of the extra slats.

Make sure it protrudes from the wall at least as far as the hardware for the blinds. She hung the batting covered blind on the wall and now uses it when designing quilts choosing fabrics or for displaying parts of a quilt in progress. This diyer cut an old bamboo blind to fit her space and then stapled quilt batting to the top rail. Shorten them to fit your window length.

Well my kids forced my hand. This quick and easy hack will make sure. Then slide a valance and curtain panels onto the rod. Using these s clips made this diy makeover quick and easy.
