when my mum needed black out curtains she went to the nearest material shop and bought a whole load of black out lining and just sewed the top over, put some string through and tied to a few nails in the wall!
seemed pretty cheap, and mine are still going strong 13 years later!

I just bought 5m of blackout fabric from eBay for £16. Very pleased with it, and it's stopped my 5wk old daughter waking with the sunrise. Grin

I got black out from dun elm was quite reasonable, I sewed Velcro to it and stuck velcro round the window. No light at all, best thing ever.
