Sure. Or fabric. My interior decorating mom does this all the time.

This article explains how to cover roller blinds in fabric, paint, and wallpaper. What a great idea.

You don't have to glue it to a vinyl blind. You can just staple your canvas printed with a photo (at Kinko's) to the bare tube of the roller blind, roll it up a few turns, and use it like that. You just have to fiddle with it until it gets the right tension back in the spring.
