I need something that completely blocks the light out. Anyone got a picture of how well these work?** A: You can use scotch tape (or any other good tape) and use black trash bags which you likely already have to black out the window for significantly cheaper than these. I used a 30 gal 1.2 mil trash bag on my window which covered the whole thing, and it blocks out about 95% of the light. The drapes then block out the rest creating total black out. If you were to buy the heavy duty "yard trash bags" that are 2 mil or thicker, I guarantee those would blackout a window alone. A 50 gal yard or construction trash bag would cover a huge window. With my drapes (which I never open) you can see the trash bag either so it doesn't look bad. The window its on faces my backyard so nobody will ever see it outside. This window unfortunately faces east so the rising sun beams in my window and I work nights and come home to go to sleep in the morning. This works like a charm! **Q: what kind of tape to use?** A: 2 my redi Shade easy life cordless shades keep falling, the seal tape liner stopped working, how do I get more tape for my 2 blinds that are 60" x 64"? Where do I order the tape from? Looking forward hearing back you soon. Thxs **Q: Is it sturdy enough to be taken on and off daily, without ruining the adhesive?** A: A simple solution to mounting them daily is to use push pins or thumbtacks. If you cannot push them into wood to hold the blinds at the top of each side then use a tiny hammer or the rubber handles of a pair of pliers. When you leave if you're worried about the holes created by use of pins or tacks just spackle them with wood dough. You might use the same holes to push the pins into. **Q: Can I use these in my apartment where there are already existing permanent blinds (not blackout ones) which I cannot remove?** A: The blinds are about 1 1/2 inches in depth. If you have room between the permanent blinds and the window they should fit. The top sticks to the window and unfolds downward as far as you want. They provide a clip to set the height. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price for what you get!... but understand what you're getting *by on Reviewed in the United States June 29, 2025* First, these shades work... very well. The material lets ZERO light through. Other than the light coming around the gaps between the shade and the window frame, no light penetrates the shade itself. Total darkness!But don't get it twisted... these are otherwise pretty flimsy. Don't buy them expecting hardware or anything "sturdy." They are essentially a 36" wide piece of pleated paper. The paper material seems to maybe be a mixture of paper, cloth and plastic. So it feels like it's going to hold up well (and the reviews I relied on to make my purchase indicated that it does).At the top of the shade is an adhesive strip (peel and stick). After cutting the shade to size, you peel the wax paper and stick it up. Its very sticky, so get it in the correct place before lifting it to the edge you plan to stick it to. There's no do overs.The set comes with 2 clips per shade to hold them up or down. That's the only hardware. No strings to pull. No screws or brackets. Just two clips. But this makes installation so easy.Installation tips...1. Measure the window width at top, middle and bottom. You'll cut the shade to the most narrow measurement.2. Measure and cut each window at a time. You'll learn from doing the first one (at least I did!). I didn't quite trim the first one narrow enough... and cut the rest a little more narrowly.3. Once you know the measurement, use a cutting board and very sharp knife or razor to "slice" the shade. Keep it folded like a block (adhesive stip facing up) and you can slice through it.4. First, inspect the window frames for dust or grime and clean them if needed to ensure adhesion. Then peel the waxpaper strip off the adhesive. Align it in the window about an inch from the top to be sure its centered and cut to the right width. Then stick it to top of the window frame (a clean, smooth surface. If your window frames are dirty, or textured, they won't hold).5. Then let the rest of the shade unfold (drop). It will eventually relax and fill the window. Pinch two clips to the bottom. My windows are pretty long , so I didn't need to trim anything off. But you can trim them easily if you have shorter windows and don't want to leave the excess.6. To raise the shade, just remove the clips and fold the pleats back up to near the top of the window and replace the clips to hold it up. I found putting them about 1.5" from the edge looked best (less sag).For $10, you CANNOT beat these for a quick, functional method to blackout light. I intend to buy true shades for close to $50 each at some point in the future. But since my wife works nights, and we have 11 windows in our room... that wasn't a viable option to get her a dark room to sleep in NOW. These worked perfectly for now (and much easier to install too). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value & performance. *by on Reviewed in the United States July 31, 2026* True blackout shades that block light better than most curtains & are Inexpensive, easy to install & can be trimmed to fit inside window frame or provide full window coverage. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely Opaque to Light. Some Adhesive Issues. *by on Reviewed in the United States January 30, 2010* After successfully cutting two shades to length, I was actually very pleased with the installation. However, both window shades fell down by themselves within a couple of hours after putting them up. To make matters worse, the shades fell in such a way that the adhesive layer stuck to another part of the shade about one-third of the way down and basically ruined itself. Now I know why this product is sold in a six-pack. I found that I have to use thumbtacks to hold them up. Cutting was relatively easy. I used a sharp kitchen butcher knife and found a continuous sawing action to work best. Do not use a serrated bladed knife. You need to put a weight on the widest part of the shades while cutting. Otherwise, when you are almost finished cutting, it will unfold itself making it difficult to cut the remaining layers.As one other reviewed stated, the full length of these shades is about 72 inches. That means for a standard 3 foot by 6 foot window, you will not have a pleated appearance anymore. Yes, you can see where the folds are, but it really looks stretched out. And that brings us to the next point. I had to add my own double sided tape to the end to hold it against the window sill. It would have been nice if they had put peel and stick adhesive on both ends. But the ever so slight stretching to full length pulls on the upper adhesive thus pulling it loose after a couple of hours. It stretches out on its own, especially at the top where gravity is greatest due to the accumulated weight of the paper.After I finished my installation of these shades, I was ready to give it a solid 5 star rating. But after they fell and the resulting mess with it sticking to itself, I lost my enthusiasm. But now I know I must use thumbtacks to hold it up. I will still use the shades with thumbtacks. But I really do think they should have added enough length to maintain some pleated appearance in a standard 3X6 foot window. This is a very common sized window. Of course, for this price there is no pull cord to adjust the length if you want to let in some sunlight or look outside.Update: I think I made a mistake when I installed the adhesive side to the underside of the window opening because this is a painted drywall surface. (But it is a smooth flat surface.) So I changed where I put the adhesive side to the frame of the window itself. This is a fairly thin surface, but the adhesive sticks a lot better to the metal frame than the painted drywall. It has stayed put for neary two weeks now.)It is definitely opaque to sunlight. This is what I wanted for my home theater room. Prior to this, there was way just too much reflection in my new 65 inch Panasonic HDTV to watch a movie in the daytime. So these shades do work quite well. Make sure you cut it snugly to the right width to keep out unwanted sunlight around the edges. Measure the width at the top and bottom and the middle to find the narrowest dimension to customize the shade width. ## Frequently Bought Together - Redi Shade No Tools Original Blackout Pleated Paper Shade Black, 36" W x 72" L, 6 Pack - Redi Shade No Tools Original Light Filtering Pleated Paper Shade White, 36" W x 72" L, 6 Pack - Changshade 6-Pack Pleated Paper Temporary Shades Cordless Light Filtering Cut to Size Temporary Paper Blinds for Indoor Windows of Office, Bedroom, Bathroom, Living Room, 36" W x 72" H, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1796491-no-tools-original-blackout-pleated-paper-shade-black-36-w](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1796491-no-tools-original-blackout-pleated-paper-shade-black-36-w) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
