Of course I accidentally deleted all of the step-by-step photos I took... Anyway, you can read the instructions here, on the Little Green Notebook blog. I read about how to make Roman Shades by using a mini-blind skeleton (disassembling it, taking of all but a few slats, and putting it back together). I definitely did not want to paint today so I decided to try this out for fun. John was very resistant... but, he'll be happy because here is the price breakdown:
23"x42" Mini Blinds - Target, $2.50
1 yd fabric - JoAnn's, on sale $5.50
Total = $8
Also bought fabric glue, which was $3, but that will continue to get used. It didn't turn out perfect and it probably doesn't look all that great from the outside, but what a FUN idea!

All pulled up (some of the fabric bunches up on the sides, but not too bad)
Voila! Very cute, and just enough privacy.
We'll see what the Hubs has to say when he gets home...
