How to Make a Vertical Blind

Vertical blinds are generally constructed of two materials: fabric and a backing member. The fabric is bonded to a hard backing member by a process known as fusion. The fusion process is a bit more expensive and requires more work than other methods of vertical blind manufacture. However, if you know how to make a vertical blind, it can be a DIY project for the average do-it-yourselfer.

This process involves cutting strips of fabric into the desired width and length. The resulting vertical blind is made according to your specifications. Depending on where you are using it, you can even have a customized vertical blind. If you want the blind to be larger than the size of your window, you can have it cut into two or more pieces.

Fabric vertical blinds are easy to clean. To clean them, simply grab a slat and wipe it with a damp cloth, from top to bottom. You can use a soft brush attachment if your blinds are made from polyester. Otherwise, you can wet wipe them with a mild detergent solution. Lined fabrics and materials should be vacuumed regularly.

Vertical blinds may be manufactured using a variety of materials, including clothing and drapery fabrics. The backing material supports the vertical blinds and is fused to the fabric, preventing fraying. The vertical blind is then cut into the desired length and width. It is then attached to the vertical blind support with a weight and plastic insert.
