    As one non crafty person to another, this video gave me the confidence to give this a try. Love your choice of material.

    • @frnchblondtrvls

      Yes! I decided that I can live with the imperfections. One day I’ll eventually redo them and they’ll be better. 💜

      Do you think I could use my sewing machine to attach the material to thereflection? Or adhesive easier.

      @@terrymathis4213that’s what I would’ve done if I had a sewing machine…and knew how to use it! 🤣💜

    Renee - you were cracking me up with your “did I tell you I wasn’t crafty” comments.
    Girl, you are crafty! You just made window coverings….that is pretty crafty in my book!
    Love the fabric colors - they look great!
    Looking forward to more crafty stuff - lol

      If you saw those window covers up close you’d know how uncrafty I really am! I’m doing lots of stuff out of my comfort zones these days. I might even learn a thing or three 😂 💜

    Great that I am seeing this video! I just made my window covers last week. I made a pattern with flexible white paper that had a shiney like texture. I was able to put it on the inside and trace the outline with a pencil. I cut them out and then fitted again to make sure no gaps. i layed them out on the reflextics and taped it and then cut them. Perfect fits- I am so happy. I haven’t added my black material yet, but I will! Great video Renee!💜

    • @frnchblondtrvls
      @frnchblondtrvls  Před měsícem

      Glad you liked it! I’m happy to hear that your window covers came out well. I still have to make covers for my back windows. They’re much smaller so I’m hoping that I don’t have any issues making them. The flexible paper is a great idea. It adds a bit of sturdiness to them so that they fit more snug in the windows. Thanks for watching!💜

    You look crafty to me, I learned something from you, I would have not thought of this. Of course I wanted to jump through the screen and help you, the wind was not trying to help lol
    You should call this a day in the life of purple Renee’ 😊❤

    • @frnchblondtrvls
      @frnchblondtrvls  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Thanks! I was going to look for fabric but when I saw the pillow cases I figured, why not?!
      Of course there was no wind until I started working on this! 💜💜

    Hi Renée LaVon here Just came across your video. I also subscribed. I'm also a Pisces, and I love the stone amethyst. Purple is just one of my favorite colors.
    I think you're doing a wonderful job with your windows covers.
    Don't make the mistake I did, cover the wrong side of one of my reflective to my passenger window. you have to make sure you put your black covering on the right side of the window you wanted to go on. Are it will be backwards.😊 💜

    • @frnchblondtrvls
      @frnchblondtrvls  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Exactly! I learned that lesson with my SUV a couple years ago. I made sure to mark my reflectix while they were still in the windows to avoid getting it wrong! 💜

    The window covers are very pretty. If the trim is an electric tape they come in colors, it will be flexible and durable for pressing on and clinging better.

    They came out so pretty Renee! Thanks for teaching me how to put the material on! I literally just made some a few days ago and didn't measure either🤣 After watching a girl measure hers in the rain in a very tiny car, (Hilarious video) I Just crammed some tissue wrapping paper in there and did a rough outline. Anyway, it's nice to hear you talk and do your thing! Very fun💜💜💜

    You should spray it black or black wall paper

    • @frnchblondtrvls
      @frnchblondtrvls  Před 2 měsíci +3

      Spray what black, the reflectix? I’ve heard that paint flakes off of them. Wall paper? Did you catch that I’m not crafty? 😂💜
