Mirrotek Pleated Window Paper Shades Room Darkening Blinds Black 36" x 69" (Pack of 6 Temporary Shades)

Easy to install and cut to your size.

I used sticky adhesives from Dollar Tree to secure the tape that’s already attached and they’re holding up wonderfully. Also, I was able to use the thumb tacks that are included to secure the bottom. The purpose of this item, personally, is to keep my room dark during the day for my husband that works a graveyard shift. Serves the purpose 1000%. I also made sure my home doesn’t look weird from the outside and somehow it actually makes my home look better.

Are these cheaply made? Absolutely. Do they work though? Absolutely. Use the thumb tacks to secure them, the adhesive alone won't keep these up. The clips to keep the shades up so you can see out your window are laughable, they absolutely do not work. I bought cheap binder clips to keep mine up and they work fine. My cat will likely destroy these so I wanted something that was easily replaced and that's exactly what I got. Would buy again.

This product is seriously fantastic! We’ve had them in two separate houses (yes, we came back to buy because they were that good!)But let’s be honest here. My boyfriend and I enjoy our sleeping in (when we can) So sunlight is the devil.Pros:*definitely blocks out light/ sun*SUPER easy to install. Just sticks up on the top of the window after you peel back the tape.*you can cut it to any window length/size*no power tools needed.*cutest little, nifty clips in case you want to open the windows or let some sun in 😊CONS:*adhesive is not very strong. We learned fairly quickly that you also need some thumbtacks or something to make sure it stays up there.*any sort of sideways wind/fan is an absolute NO-GO. I’ve raised my blood pressure by 6000 trying to make sure these F-ers stayed in place to keep the sun out.HOWEVER !!!! I will say, we only had issues in our second house that has poor ventilation/needs fans. A normal house(last place) we had absolutely zero problems minus the adhesive.These absolutely do work, and very well. But you have to remember that they are paper. So they flow easily. The material is similar to that of thick construction paper.Overall, I would absolutely buy again for wherever we live.8/10

The main reason I bought these was to keep most light out of the rooms I have them in. So far, they’ve not only kept out light, I’ve noticed the rooms seem a bit cooler in temperature now.Keeping these up with just the tape isn’t ideal, and the tacks do not go into the windowsill I have. I bought gorilla glue double sided tape. They stopped falling.It seems like they’re taking some time to reach the bottom so I can finally remove the drapes I have at my windows but that isn’t a big deal.While installing the PAPER shades, my may get some paper cuts. That was my mistake and so I believed a warning should be issued to some that are in a hurry, like me and want these up and done already.They are not sheer. You cannot peek in from the outside with these on, unless you aren’t careful with your measurements and you cut too much off of one shade. I left them as is.
