Blackout Zebra Shade Tutorial: How To Make One EASY!
John BaurHave you ever wanted to make your own blackout zebra shades but thought it was too hard? Fear not, for this tutorial will show you how to make your very own blackout zebra shades in no time at all! To make your own blackout zebra shades you will need the following materials: fabric, scissors, cardboard, measuring tape, and glue. You can find all of these items at any craft or fabric store. First, measure the area you want your blackout zebra shades to cover and then cut the fabric to size. You will need to make sure that the fabric is wide enough to cover the entire window. Next, cut the cardboard to fit the window and glue it onto the back of the fabric. The cardboard will help the fabric keep its shape and will also provide a sturdy backing. Once the cardboard is in place, you can begin to create the zebra pattern. For this, you will need to cut several strips of fabric in different widths and colors. Start with the widest strip first and then work your way down. Make sure to measure each strip so that they are the same size. Once the strips of fabric are cut, glue them onto the back of the fabric. Start with the widest strip at the top and then glue the other strips in order. Make sure to leave a few inches of space in between each strip so that the zebra pattern can be seen. Once all of the strips are in place, you can hang the blackout zebra shades on the window. Make sure that the fabric is taut and secure. You can use small nails or tacks to secure the fabric in place. That's it! You now have your own custom blackout zebra shades. With just a few supplies and a little bit of time, you can make your own blackout zebra shades and add a unique touch to your window. Enjoy!
