Woman who couldn’t afford blinds makes her own out of ‘privacy film’ off Amazon – and it cost her under £20 – The Sun

MANY homeowners have found themselves puzzling over whether to choose privacy or natural daylight.

Some people choose to fit blinds or sheer curtains – although this can be expensive and require the help of a professional.

One smart woman found a thrifty solution to the problem – covering her windows with self-adhesive privacy film.

After nabbing a roll of the stuff on Amazon for just £18.99, the woman was thrilled to find the film was just as good as blinds, but cost her just a fraction of the price.

Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, the woman explained: "Just moved into a new house and wanted some privacy for our bedroom, but custom blinds for the size we need are quite expensive.

"So I invested in some privacy film of amazon and am so impressed!"

The Facebook user told fellow bargain hunters that she had used the Zindoo Window Films Self-adhesive Office Glass Film, which comes in three sizes on Amazon: 24cm X 200cm for £8.59, 60cm X 200cm for £15.99 or 90cm X 200cm for £18.99.

What's more, the woman said her DIY project was simple to complete.

She said: "It was so easy to fit and looks really smart!

"I paid about £20 for the largest roll I could get, its done all these windows with loads leftover."

A third shared that she had covered her windows in reflective film, also available on Amazon.
