The first blind would have been better if you would have used a different fabric. Need something thicker. The gray/blue is too shiny and emphasizes errors. A nice thick duck cotton fabric -maybe with stripes would make a huge difference.
-
Roman blind hack was fabulous! Going to use this idea for my bedroom windows!!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
-
I prefer the original wooden blind, I think the fabric one looks cheap
-
The mini blinds to roman shade hack was great!! I liked all of the projects.
-
If you had put the hooks at the top of the board, you wouldn't have a gap between the curtain and the window. An easy fix.
-
Love this. I especially like the wood over the window. Fabulous!
-
You make it look so easy but I assure you, I could mess it up!🤣
-
This is a brilliant idea for the old blinds something I thought of. Thanks I'll give it a try.
-
Use the left over slats for plant tags. Cut them to whatever length works for you, use a pencil (not sharpie) to label your plants.
-
Well done. I actually made some of these blinds completely by hand once. This would have been a great way to do it way more easily.

Hi there, Hometalk! I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed your video. So much so I'm going to go ahead and subscribe to your channel! 🎉
-
Thank you.
-
Use that double stick tap to attach the mini blind shades.
-
I love the fabric curtain blind thank you so much. You are so talented. I want to use that on my regular windows.
-
Really loved the idea for the bathroom wooden hook and curtains 🎉
-
This is a great idea, but not exactly new. Good that people are learning this!
-
Its great to learn and laugh😂😂😂 You and your guys are awesome!!❤
-
Inexpensive slat blinds often don't last long! What a great idea to recycle a shade that has lost some of the slats!! Very ingenious!! But I have to say considering the availability of sheer fabrics, burlap would never be my first choice! And I wonder how long hot glue holds in summer? Just saying!
-
Pretty! Very nice bathroom window curtains!
-
I love all the projects. Very well done.
