How Do You Decorate Over Vertical Blinds?
Vertical blinds are useful window coverings because they are very effective for providing light control and privacy. Unfortunately, they can be a decorating challenge because they typically have hardware that many people would like to conceal. With well-placed curtains it is possible to have the light control and privacy afforded by the vertical blinds, yet add beauty and flair to a window. Learn how to decorate over vertical blinds to enhance a challenging window. Measure the entire length of the desired curtains from the top edge to the bottom edge. Cut a length of fabric to this length. Cut the length of fabric in half width-wise so that you have two panels of equal length (one for each side of the window). Turn under each of the four edges of each panel 1/4 inch and press with the iron. Sew along the folds 1/8 inch away from the folds to hem each edge of each panel. Determine the length desired for the valance portion of the curtains. Cut two widths of the fabric to this measuremen
