Review: LOVE these Shades! SIMPLE to install ~ LOOKS Awesome! - I was VERY leery of these shades because I have never purchased a "Paper Shade" in my life, and wasn't sure that paper would be strong enough. After reading reviews I decided to give them a try. I ordered 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Mounting Tape, 1-Inch by 50-Inch with the shades because I wanted to be sure they stuck. I was able to cut them down to the ODD sizes I needed. My dining room has 4 windows - 2 in the center are considerably larger then the ones on each side of the 2 bigger ones. I was able to cut one shade in half and use those 2 pieces in each side window, and I was able to cut off about 4 inches of 2 more to fit the center windows. These were simple to install. Measure your window, cut with either sharp scissors or an Exacto knife.Pull off the strip covering the sticky strip , then simply put them up. These curtains, all 6 of them, come with clips that you put on the bottom of the shade to pull up and down the shade, without touching the paper. It took me an hour to put all 4 shades up, and I'm 100% Disabled so I don't usually do this stuff. But I was excited to see them up and didn't want to wait for my husband to come home from work to do it. I am actually pretty impressed with these shades. They look Amazing! You'd never know they are paper unless you get right up to them and feel them. They are definitely a high quality paper. I had these ugly, ugly plastic mini blinds that I paid a fortune for since they were such odd sizes, and these Paper Shades look like I spent even more! They aren't light "Blocking", but they do filter it. I have more light now then I did with the plastic mini blinds. It's a really nice "glow" light. I like that there's no string/handles, they're cordless. They provide complete privacy  while not blocking out the light. What I like best though is No. 1 - the price is perfect! Where can you get 6 shades for under $40??? And No.2 - I can do this myself! And quickly! AND with no help from anyone. And for someone like myself who has to count on someone to help with almost everything - that's pretty awesome to me! Definitely give these a try!
Review: **UPDATED REVIEW** - These shades to the job, but you should plan on trashing at least one or two shades until you get the hang of installing them (unless you don't care what they look like). One lesson I learned is once you get it cut to the right size, hold it in place and only peel off the left half of the adhesive strip, press it in place, then finish peeling off the right side and press the entire shade in place. Our shades have only been up for one day. Hope they stay. In a lot of cases, two plastic clips aren't enough to attach the shade to the bottom of the window. Good luck! **UPDATED REVIEW** Even I followed the installation directions and they initially looked good, they have started to fall and just like other reviewers have mentioned, if the adhesive strip sticks to the paper part, you probably have a ruined shade. I wish there was a better way to adhere the shade to the window frame without taking the chance of peeling off paint when it's time for them to come down. The second photo shows what you can expect the shade to look like if you can manage to put it back in place. Most likely some of the shade will be torn.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ OK for temporary use - but the glue doesn't keep these attached (SEE RECENT UPDATED REVIEW)
*by T***R on September 9, 2013*

UPDATE: I've had these 'temporary' shades up far longer than I planned and/or expected and they have held up quite well. Yes, I had to add additional two-sided tape in a couple of places, but all in all, my bargain has turned out to be a real money-saver until I can afford what I truly want. I've had to raise my rating to 4 stars. I bought these to use as temporary window covering. They definitely look better than putting sheets (or worse) up at your windows. They are easy to trim and install but I found that the glued part does not stay attached to my window frame. I now have pretty horrible looking bands of tape holding these up. So, they'll be even more temporary than I intended. I also found that without the clips securing the bottom, the shades fell out of the window sill and began to stretch out. My largest windows are 53" tall. When I first installed these, they were about 6" short of the bottom, but in a day, the pleats relaxed and they reached the window sill. Lastly, when I opened the boxes, the shades were bent on one end. Fortunately, I did not need the full 48% width. These need to be packed in a box that's about 3" longer. PROS: Inexpensive, easy to install, provide a degree of privacy and look perfectly ok from the outside. CONS: The glue doesn't hold, the shades arrived bent and the length may not be sufficient
