Why Create Your Own Top-Down Blinds?
My reasons are simple. I live in an apartment. It is temporary housing, and therefore I don't want to spend the nearly $150 per window to purchase custom top-down blinds. I also need the privacy that they offer because of my ground floor apartment. What is the Cost and Time Commitment? This particular project was done for under $30 (that includes all three windows). This is a bargain compared to the nearly $450 it would cost to have it done professionally. It also took me only an hour to create and install (not including shopping time). What You'll Need: - Make sure to measure your window first! - One set of bargain mini-blinds per window. You are only going to use the top bar and strings for this project, so the quality of the slats is irrelevant. I found some for $2.50 each on sale, $4 each regular. - One set of temporary shades*. They should be the kind that have an adhesive strip on one end. I bought the Redi Shades that are 'room darkening' for more privacy. These cost me about $6 each. *(These shades can be substituted for something of a better quality if desired. You will simply need to find a way of attaching the more complex shades/blinds to the top bar of your bargain blinds.) - A cutting knife ($1.50) and cutting board or hard surface. - Tape (optional).
I’m interested in trying out something I saw on an episode of Small Space, Big Style, but I’m not quite sure how to.
If the shade does not have a pull cord, drill a small hole in the bottom rail of the shade, which is the part you pull to raise and lower the shade, using a drill and small drill bit, and tie a string in the hole. Place the pulley on the wall 2 to 3 inches above the window casement in the center of the window.
