hese take no time at all and are a perfect project for even the most uncrafty-DIYers, you get a really nice finish with minimal effort and minimal cost. The 4-way stretch carpet is the same stuff you often see lining the walls of vans, it doesn't fray so no need to sew anything, you can get it in several different colours but any none fraying fabric would work. The closed-cell foam core will add some much needed thermal insulation to van and boat windows, helping to combat condensation which we all know is ... the worst. I was super excited to share this method and would love to see how you get on if you make your own.
