I made a roller shade about hmmmm? lets see Omgosh 34 years ago. AT that time I purchased some adhesive shade cloth from the fabric store and ironed it on, I think it is like a lining. Cut the edges and used clear glue to keep from fraying and attached with a staple gun, back in the olden days I had a wooden roller. Pretty easy to do as I remember. I made a cute bottom edge with trim. Would you believe it was a bedspread in a buffalo check and the room was in black and white and I did a traffic sign theme!! One of my favorite little boy rooms that I ever did. Having 3 boys I have done quite a few boy rooms in my day. Good luck sweetie!!
