Make your own no-sew insulated
Make your own no-sew insulated van window covers or sunshades (or for any vehicle) for less! Last week, I shared the process of making some low budget, no-sew insulated window covers for the back of our van. If you haven’t seen that yet, you might want to check it out before watching today’s video. Today I’m going to share how I used a similar method to create a cover for our windshield - definitely a bigger undertaking but we think it turned out pretty well. $30 might not seem all that great on savings, but if you check out the cost of insulated or custom van windshield covers listed online, I think it's a great price. Prices I've found are in the $200-400 range! We're trying to keep our costs down as much as possible on our van build.
MATERIALS:
- Craft paper roll and large cardboard for template
- Mainstays Fraser Fabric Tablecloth, 52x70, Rich Black and Soft Silver ($10) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-...
- Old sheet or other material for extra layer(s)
- 16 in. x 25 ft. Double Reflective Insulation Roll with Staple Tab Edge ($13.57) https://www.homedepot.com/p/Reflectix... (better to avoid tab edge if possible)
- Dritz Stitch Witchery Fusible Web 1/4" x 20yds 2.99 (1.79 with 40% off coupon) https://www.joann.com/dritz-stitch-wi...
- Country Brook Design - Black Polypropylene 2 Inch Webbing (25 Yards) $16.50 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003K1HK9A
- Hot glue gun
- High-temp glue sticks
- Straight pins
- Lighter
- Ruler / straight edge
- Permanent marker
- Scissors
The cost listed is with the assumption that you'll use some of the supplies for a few different window covers as well. I was able to create several window covers with one roll of the
polypropylene webbing, one roll of the Reflectix, and two rolls of stitch witchery
TIPS:
- Pin your material together before cutting! It helps it stay in place.
- Leave extra material around edges when you cut out your material (It’s better to have extra then realize you don’t have enough later!)
- When using hot glue, use it sparingly then add more as needed. It’s easy to apply too much, which can leave a messy residue
