Wallpaper Blinds

To begin with, we have a small apartment with windows facing the sunny side. If there is no sun in the morning, then the house is quite comfortable. But after dinner, especially in hot weather, it becomes just unbearably hot. The air heats up from the window panes and becomes nothing to breathe. I found a way out of this situation and decided to make the blinds with my own hands from ordinary vinyl wallpaper that remained after the repair. Wallpaper blinds perfectly protect the apartment from the scorching sun and if you close them in time, then in the evening it will be quite comfortable at home. In this case, there will be no complete blackout, because in fact it is paper. So, for starters, measure the width of the window and if the roll of wallpaper is too wide, then we trim it around the edge. The length of the cut itself will be slightly greater than the height of the glass part of the window (approximately one and a half times more). Next you need to make a kind of "accordion" (see photo). It is not necessary to make a small accordion small, but it will also be badly very wide. The best option for the width of the crease is about 4 centimeters.
In the process of folding the "accordion" make sure that it does not lead to the side. You need to navigate around the edges and do each fold carefully.
Now we take double-sided tape and glue it to the top of our blinds.
Next, you need to make four holes through the entire accordion when folded. I did this with a conventional drill (see photo.)
Now we take two cuts of the rope and thread it through the holes (see photo).
We fasten the clamps to the lower ends of the rope. Such clips can be bought at any sewing department. They will serve as clamps so that it is possible to raise and lower our blinds.
Our blinds are almost ready. It remains only to fix them on the window. To do this, we open the second surface of the adhesive tape and gently glue the blinds to the frame.
That's all! Blinds are ready. This is a fairly economical way that does not take long to get rid of the scorching sun.
This blinds are folded.
This is how the blinds on the window look if you dissolve only one edge.
And this is how the window from the street will look.
Good luck.
