You don't have to possess artistic ability to decorate mini-blinds. All you need are mini-blinds, crafting materials, and the desire to decorate your mini-blinds to make them impressive and very unique.

Wallpaper Cutouts

If your room is wallpapered or you want to follow a specific theme within a room, use leftover wallpaper or wallpaper border to decorate your mini-blinds. Shop online to find the designs you desire, or use leftover wallpaper or border to decorate your mini-blinds. Besides wallpaper and mini-blinds, all you need is a pair of scissors and a sharp utility knife to cut across the slats so the blinds will open and close.

Lay the mini-blinds you plan to decorate on flat surface with the slats closed. Cut out the wallpaper shapes you want to use to decorate the mini-blinds, and apply them to the blinds according to wallpaper instructions. Allow the wallpaper paste to dry completely, and using a utility blade, carefully cut openings across the slats that will allow the blinds to open and close as usual.

Easy Painted Flowers

Do you love flowers but don't feel you're artistically inclined? You don't have to be an artist to decorate mini-blinds with tiny painted flowers. While they are hanging in the window, close the slats, and create tiny painted flowers made with dots. Simply make one dot for the center of each flower using bright yellow latex craft paint, and surround the centers with more dots in colors of your choice. Anyone can make simple dot flowers, and they will make your mini-blinds look stylish and highly unique.
