Yes, of course, I am happy to share, just hope you can understand my very rough instructions, LOL

1) measure the door window to get the size of fabric pieces - add two inches all around for the hem. Cut your fabric, and then use the iron tape to hem all around.

2) place the 3" velcro across the top of each door window and a short strip of the 1/2" along the sides of each door window.

3) place a strip of the 3" velcro across the top of each blind. you will need to measure to figure out where you want each little 1/2" square of velcro to go along the edges of your blinds. How many you use depends on how many folds you want to have. apply squares

4) hang the blinds and make any adjustments. Smile
