how to make insulated blinds or curtains for your skoolie, van, or RV | School Bus Conversion Ep. 23

Thank you so much for joining me! In this episode of the school bus conversion I will show you in detail how I made my insulated curtains as well as the bamboo blinds I added to create 2 layers for these curtains. I am absolutely in love with how these curtains turned out and I really hope this video helps you out!

They look amazing! You are such a versatile artist. What do you do for your dance breaks?

[@AndersandAndersen]

Grateful to be decent at many things ahahaha! As for my dance breaks, I dance… like a maniac 😂 and a little bit of karaoke for balance!

Hello my beautiful, i watched all your videos from the beginning and i love it❤. I heard a change in your voice with the 3 last videos ,you didnt had the same energy, maybe coz of the winter or the end of this amazing van conversion. Im asking myself what coz that change !!🤔 And no more videos of the final touches or a complete van "home " tour....😢Hope that message finds you good .... warm kisses from sxm Caribbean island.

[@ToxikFoxoxo]

They turned out so cute!!

[@AndersandAndersen]

Awww thanks!!! I was so happy with them!

[@tom-ss2mn]

Great idea for curtains. I bet that'll make a huge difference with keeping the cold out. also blocking the hot sun in the summer

[@laureldrasner5639]

Have you had any issues with staining due to condensation? On another page I saw that they sewed the reflective insulation to the back so that moisture wouldn’t soak into the fabric. I like your idea of having it hidden inside better though!

[@AndersandAndersen]

Personally I haven’t had any issues with staining yet!

[@laureldrasner5639]

@@AndersandAndersen Awesome!!

[@AndersandAndersen]

@@laureldrasner5639 I guess you could easily make the reflectix removable as well so that you could easily wash the fabric if needed!

[@laureldrasner5639]

@@AndersandAndersen That’s a great idea!!!

[@marcindabrowski1]

Beautiful! I recommend adding magnets in the corners and sides so the curtains are drawn to the metal frame and lay closer to the windows

[@AndersandAndersen]

SO SMART!!! I was thinking of adding Velcro but I have a feeling the magnets will be much more aesthetically pleasing!!

[@marcindabrowski1]

@@AndersandAndersen you're welcome. I added magnets on the edge of shields that should stay in place with suction cups but always failed when the temperature was changing.

[@Tedworth25]

Does this still work tho becuz the reflextix is covered with fabric

[@AndersandAndersen]

It’s worked like a dream so far! It’s really common to have it covered, one of the few ways I’ve seen lots of other nomads create them! I’ll let you know in summer ahahaha

[@Tedworth25]

@@AndersandAndersen Haha alright yea I was just curious becuz I would love to do it this way but I want to insulate the windows still
