Fabric Covered Roller Shades - Finally

When I started this little project, my hopes were to add a touch of color to the windows over the kitchen sink while allowing the natural light to continue to flow through. My other goal was to spend as little as possible. So far so good.

This was such an easy project! The shades were cut to size at my local hardware store and I literally glued the fabric to the shades.

First I spread the fabric out face down and rolled the shade just beyond the desired length. Then I trimmed the fabric about 1/2" wider and 1" longer than the shade. **Note the shade is actually longer than I needed so I only covered the length that would show if the shade was closed on the window.

When the time came to glue the fabric to the shade, I could not locate the fabric glue so I used a glue gun loaded with fabric glue sticks instead.

I worked my way around the sides until the fabric was attached on all sides.
