Teresa, I think I'm going to be your new best friend (tee hee). Here is a video and the page for instructions (printable) for exactly this project. Have fun. www.hgtv.com/.../0,,HGTV_22056_51766,00.html?art=Top... (click on the "No-Sew Roller Shade" video. I'd like to try this myself.

www.hgtv.com/.../0,,HGTV_3543_1373241,00.htm Heres an othe HG TV idea that you might like it looks elegant but used the cheap roll up shades a lot of us use I saw the episode and its on my list to try when I get the rest set up.

I would go w/ the HGTV project - rubber cement can make for an unsmooth surface which wille be important for this project plus my limited experience w/ rubber cement is that it doesnt adhere as well as other glues...jmho..cj in camas, wa

There's a product you can buy at the fabric shops which is a wide fusible specifically for making roll-up shades. Just go in and ask.

Is there a way to "fix" a roll up shade? Have one that always unrolls to floor,other wise in good condition. Thanks for any advise

I think you can buy a kit for repairing them. I was looking for a shade for my skylight and saw the kit at the www.hunterdouglas.com web site or you can check Lowes website. Good luck.
