Spray glue like 3M "77" will do the best job for you.

Choose either a fine knit or felted fabric...one that will not ravel when cut...or take fabric and bond it to a thin substrate so it will not ravel. Cut into strips that are somewhat larger than the slats, use spray glue on both the slat and the fabric, align and press together. Trim to slat when finished. Use very sharp scissors or a very sharp blade to trim with..otherwise, you will cause raveling if the fabric is woven. IF there is a pattern to the fabric, try to match the pattern(s) as you go, slat by slat. Good luck

Some stores carry the material that has a sticky backing, but for years to do anything yourself cost more than to buy it done already. Most of us that made things to save money now have to buy it already made it has gotten very expensive to do crafts and things. Good luck though.

Arleen's tacky glue and fabric strips, be sure to glue all the way out to the edge to eliminate fraying

Hang a rod above them and hang some draperies.
I loathe verticles as well. Have you thought about some inexpensive bamboo blinds instead?

cover them with a tarp and throw them in the nearest dumpster...
vertical blinds are hideous, no matter what the setting.

A lot of the have sleaves with something in them already. If yours do you could slide out the old stuff and put in new.
