How To Make Blackout Curtains
If, like me, you have had half your bedding hanging over your curtain pole in an attempt to block out the light you have most likely been toying with the idea of buying black-out blinds or curtains, or you may want to know how to make blackout curtains yourself, if so read on.
If you love the curtains you have and just wish they were better at keeping the light out you can buy some window liner. Thermalogic Window Linerreduces light and keep the heat in in winter (and the out in the summer if you keep them closed). You simply attach just under the seam of your curtains.
If you intend to make your own you simply cut the liner about an inch smaller all round than your fabric, fold your fabric over to cover the liner edges, and sew.
For thermal lined ready made curtains these insulated blackout curtains from Best Home Fashion comes in all colours and a good selection of sizes from $46 and free delivery
An excellent product is the Magic Blackout Blind which is a blind on a roll which can be stuck to virtually any window (normal single or double-glazed) using static and it blocks out 100% light. It can be used when travelling or staying with friends and it won’t leave any residue. Also ideal for nurseries, dorms and caravans. Genius!
