Fabric Pull Shades

Mimi has been waking up early every morning complaining about a stream of light coming in through her blinds. We couldn't take it anymore, so I purchased these cheap-o light filtering pull shades. Kevin installed them without difficulty.

I decided the shades needed some altering. They were kind of ugly. So, I looked through my fabric and found some to use. And I purchased some spray adhesive.

It wasn't a difficult project, but I will say I don't like spray adhesive. It sticks to your hands, and dries really fast so you can't move the fabric around. Also, I don't recommend brushing your dog after using the adhesive unless you like having furry fingernails.

I did wash the fabric in advance. I starched and ironed it as well. I think that helped make it easier to work with. If you decide to do this, pick a thin fabric so you can adjust the shade with ease.


Have a great week!
