Materials: "Tupplur" Rullgardin - Rolling curtain. Pencil. Paper knife. (Metal) ruler . Large cutting board, or a thick layer of cardboard on your table. Highlighter.

Description: 1. Put the curtain on the table.
2. Scroll to the part that you want to enhance with a cut-out silhouette.
3. Make a sketch of your design on the curtain with the pencil. Don't forget this: parts of your design that are protruding upwards or sidewards need a connection to another part of the curtain/design to prevent them from falling over or hanging loose.

5. Cut them out.

Tupplur blinds used to display vintage destination blind

Materials: 2x Tupplur blinds

Description: My husband and I own a vintage destination blind from Brisbane Australia which is over 3m in length. I had nowhere that high to hang it in my house but I didn't want to cut it up. My husband purchased two Ikea Tupplur blinds and used the mechanisms from them (top and bottom) so that we could display the tram scroll in one piece. The ball chain was left attached so that we can 'scroll' through the destinations and change the display if we want to. This was a good solution because it meant that we get to display the destination blind and preserve its original length, rolled up.
