My frugal thoughts on hangin my shades.....

[Deed]

LOL haven't made them yet, but I have figured out how to hang them without costing me hardly anything.

I have those nasty mini blinds at every window in this house and they are going BUT instead of taking everything down and tossing it, I'm only going to remove the shade portion and leave the top piece.

It is already attached to the casing, so no more new holes.

I have to put up a batten anyway for the shade and this is the perfect depth already.

Just have to cut all the nylon cording on the mini blind away from it and glue my velcro on to the face!

What do you think, will it work?

I say hip hip horrary Dee, sounds like a perfect solution to me. Let us know if it works and please post pictures..You know how we are around here about seeing everyone's creations.

I will post before and afters, but I have to make the shades first, LOL That may take me a bit as I have some major cleaning to do first. Not sure how I am going to do it. I think I am going to clean one room at a time, then decorate before moving on to the next. That way I get a break in the heavy cleaning and can do some home dec sewing which I love.

Sounds like a perfect solution to me Dee. Be sure to take breaks...and drink water, and check out H and H..LOL.
