Repair/replace window shade?

by Jewellmartin
I desperately want to repair or replace the two accordion window shades in my house they have a 6’ diameter unfolded, and a 3’ radius. The radius squared is 9’ (pi), which is 3 yards of trim for each shade. The trim or binding is the cover and reinforce the inch or so around the edges of the shades which start to disintegrate in the Texas sun. These shades have lasted ten years, but new ones are still sold at Lowe’s Home Improvement.
I would like to paint the shades with Unicorn SPiT, maybe one as a sunrise and the other as a peacock. The folds in the shades would make great sun rays and peacock feathers. I have the Unicorn SPiT in the ten basic colors. I would like to ask for two new paper shades and/or the trim for the half-circumference on each shade. Thank you for considering my request. ☺️
I love the tree shadows, but I’m ready to decorate.

    I made my own out of paper that I manually fan-folded with 1-inch folds. It was a little-consuming but I loved how it turned out.
