Step 1

Watch me make it here or follow instructions below.
Step 2
Find a painting frame that will fit around a TV you would like to conceal.
Step 3
Build a box spaced width from the front of TV to the wall and attached it to the back of your frame with wood screws or nails.
Step 4
Cut the roll up window shade using a miter box saw to fit the inside width of boxed frame like measuring for a window.
Step 5
Roll out shade to the length of frame and paint a design directly on the shade. Use acrylic or a permanent marker. (If paint is used, let dry and apply a clear latex sealant.)
Step 6
Install brackets that come with the shade kit inside the box just like if you were installing it for a window. Then hang shade.
Step 7
Use L wall brackets and drill into wall studs aligned over wall mounted TV. Place frame box over brackets.
Step 8
Now, pull down shade to conceal your TV at anytime.
