How to Make Blinds From Wallpaper

    • 1). Measure the width of the window with a measuring tape. Cut a piece of wallpaper of the same width as the window and 61 inches long with a pair of scissors. If a wider piece is needed, cut two pieces and join them in the back with tape.

    • 2). Fold the bottom edge. Place the edge along the center of the piece of wallpaper and press along the bottom to crease the paper.

    • 3). Pull the paper between the center and the crease and make a loop with it. Turn the wallpaper over and place a piece of tape along the seam without crushing the loop.

    • 4). Pull the middle of the top panel upwards to create a loop. Measure four inches from the top and fold to crease. Tape along the fold on the backside of the wallpaper without crushing the loops.

    • 5). Measure the width of the blind to locate the center point. Choose a shape for the bottom edge and draw it on the backside of the wallpaper with a pencil. Cut the wallpaper to the center point. Place the trimmed piece on the opposite side and cut along the edge to create a symmetrical cut.

    • 6). Tape a dowel rod along the bottom edge on the backside of the wallpaper to stabilize the blind. Place a dowel rod vertically in the center of the back. Place the rod two inches below the top of the blind.

    • 7). Fold the bottom edge and top edge together and crease the fold. Fold over the top edge to make a pocket. Place a piece of metal measuring tape inside the pocket and use tape to close the pocket.

    • 8). Attach desired decorative trim with glue. Hang the blind with a tension rod inserted into the pocket or with magnetic tape.
