Well here is a changing station I have acquired and I was wondering would it be easy to convert it into a blind? If so how would I go about doing it? The inside needs to be blacked out and I don't like the camo on the outside.

I love projects but by the time you black the inside out and cut Windows and come up with a system to close and manage the window openings your spending some money.  Not to mention wanting to change camo.  You can get blinds similar in size and construction to that for dirt cheap all day.

Try to spray paint it.

Like mentioned above, by the time you get it done the way you want you can purchase one.

If you still want to use this one, it appears as though you already have one window, so you would only need one more. Cutting it would be no problem. Cut the window, then sew(by hand with a needle and thread?) about a 2" piece of material all the way around the window so it overlaps the the tent. Then add several pieces of velcro to the "overlap" to keep the window closed. As far as the camo goes, it might blend in better than a lot of the new patterns...especially for turkeys.

To black out the inside, just spray paint it.  If you are going to use it for deer, you might need to let it set for quite a while for the paint smell completely dissapears..if it ever does completely.

Hmm.. That does seem like a lot of work and this thing isnt the most sturdiest thing in the world. Ive also got a sheet of camo cloth like you use for portable blinds that i was thinking u could glue or sow it on.

I think you will be better off getting a blind. If you hit the sides of this changing station your going to get a lot of movement. Good luck either way...

Would you prefer the camo be on the inside?

Couldn't resist. Good advice already given above.

Step 1. Zip closed & fold
Step 2. Give it away

Not worth the effort.

Well so much for that. Tnx for the advice guys!

Lots of cheap blinds out there. That one wouldn't give you much room to move, getting your gun up and ready wouldn't be easy without bumping the blind.

I'm with the other guys, find ya one on sale, maybe eBay or Craigslist is worth a look too.
