Jo Anns,Amazon and Hobby Lobby sell room darkening fabric. You do not even have to hem the sides or bottom. Only the top, the fabric will not fray. Or you can attach it to an existing roll up shade.
Seems like a painters tarp would work. If you need that darker you could give it a coat of paint.

You will probably be able to purchase black out curtains cheaper than you can make them. JCPenney has some fantastic sales and they are less than the cost of the material.
