Trim the top edge of the fabric so that it has a straight edge and affix the fabric to the rod using double sided tape.

Hot glue the fabric to the tube running a bead of glue the entire length of the tube. Ribbon optional for embellishment spray adhesive. Paper blinds are no more. Roller blinds are the most practical treatment for windows throughout the home and ideal for the kitchen and bathroom.

Line up the top of the fabric shade with the cardboard tube making sure the roller mechanism is going the right way. Roller blinds use a minimal amount of fabric lay flat against the window and roll up to let a maximum amount of light into the room. Print on one side and solid fabric on the back or vice versa. All you need is a roller shade kit fabric cut to size and iron on adhesive to finish the edges.
