I know this is an old video, but I appreciate it beyond belief! It was simple and easy to follow and because of that I was able to shorten a blind that my husband never got to over 15 years ago! Thank you so much for this amazing video!🎉🎉

This is the easiest and best video on this I've seen. Thank you!

2" FAUX BLINDS almost SHORTENED my life!! :( This VIDEO!!!!! I will live to see another day because of this video :) THANK YOU!!!!

Yep - as below. Video created 9 years ago - but still helped me shorten my Looped life string blinds perfectly. Thanks!!

Great video! Don’t break the slats though. They’ll come in handy. You just have to pull the loop string up and slide them out. Then rethread the loop string down through the slats. I’m shortening some of mine to use the extra slats where I have broken ones.

Oh my... I have been doing it the hard way for 20 years and now have looping lifts for the first time and cut the lifting string... it works, but thought, there has to be an easier and better way... and here it is. THANK YOU !

I've watched a few videos about this and this one by far is the best and quickest!

Thank you for sharing this! Never thought shortening a blind would be this easy.

I wish whoever is in charge of written instructions at Levolor would watch this video. The instructions that came with my blinds are worthless. Thanks for the help.

After many blinds later finally cracked it with your video...broke 2 in the process but yay 3rd one went like a dream

I have about 10 blinds to shorten in my new used home. Thank you for a helpful video

What a great video. My husband bought really long blinds for the beach house and they always drove me crazy. Now all of them have been altered and your video made me a very happy girl! Great job and thanks!

This was extremely helpful. The video was short but still showed all of the steps so that the project could be easily accomplished. Thank you.

This worked great. If your buttons are in really tight, I found using a cylinder chapstick as a tool pushes them out without damaging them!

This method is so much easier than all the tying and cutting and measuring I have done before. Thank you.

Thank You for taking the time to make this video available! It helped me 100% and in a few minutes my blinds were properly shortened! I won't tell you what my original idea was but it involved scissors - I am glad I watched your video first!

The best and easiest method by far thank you. After raising the bottom rail to meet the bottom slat I used a couple of small clamps to hold them perfectly in place to attaching the pull strings and plastic buttons and it gave me perfect results. Thanks again

This was better than other videos, you explained it so simply! One set of my blinds was a problem because the little buttons on the bottom were so old they broke apart when I tried to remove them, but the other set did not so thank you very very much!

This is absolutely the very best of videos to shorten the faux wood window blind 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I like this the most , easy and simple......my favorite out of all the ones I have watched. Thank you!

Using post-it notes for your marker is brilliant

Oh, how I wish I had found this video sooner! Thank you for making a clear, easy to understand video to shorten my blinds. Three down, three to go!

Very helpful. Best video about shortening blinds. Thank you .

Thanks for this video. All this time I thought the lift cords had to be even at the rail end ! I have a method to save slats. or replace them . I group the slats below the broken slat together into a tight stack. then pull the cords. I took a homemade hook made on the end of a thin rod, and pulled doubled fishing line through the lower slats so there is a loop to pull the free end of the cord out the bottom of the stack. The slots on mine were too narrow for knots or tape to clear. Figure out a way around that, and you can run a single fishline.

Thanks; this made my job easy and the blinds looks nice.

EXCELLENT!!!! ❤ BLIND I WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE I NEVER DID THESE BEFORE!! THANK YOU ALL I WAS LACKING WAS CONFIDENCE ❤😊

While I found another excellent video and started doing it there way as they were single drawer strings i came across one of these blinds. Theirs never touched on it but your video is exactly what I needed. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you. Finished one out of eight. Very pleased!!!

I bought Levelor blinds several years ago. The directions were so confusing so I didn't even try to tackle shortening them. I hung them up and left them there with the long strings and about 10 extra slats all bunched together. Fast forward about five years, I decided to look at videos to see if could grasp how to shorten the blinds. I stumbled upon your video and said to myself, I can do this. It was such a success and the whole family could tell the difference. All I can say is "what took me so long" and Thank You

Thank you so very much, very helpful and actually looks easy

Thank you. This video saved me a lot of money. Instead of made to measure blinds ($800😱) I was able to buy them for $80 each and shorten them myself😊.

Well done! I just put up my blinds and about to fit them to size, thanks for the video ♥

this video was very helpful for me to complete my project thank you very much. Most Other videos are not for Looping Lift Strings. A1

Great job! Easy instructions!

Such a great tutorial! Thanks!!

You make it look simple so I think I will try it. Thanks

You ma make KZfaq a great, helpful place! You are the best!

Easy to follow instructions, thank you for the help!!

This was so incredibly easy. Thanks for sharing 🙏

SUPER EASY... Thank you!

Thank you for this! I wouldn't say it was easy, but it was definitely achievable!

Thanks so much!!! Very helpful video!

Great video! Worked great.

I agree with u.... My blind had about 15 extra slats plus the material hanging with the ladderstrings.... But after watching a few other Vids... Hard work ...i came across this...its Like ABC.... Easy st8 forward NO HASSLE... JUST WATCH N COPY JOB DONE 😁😊

So helpful and sooooo easy!!! Thank you!!!!!

Great Video! Right to the point !!

Awesome video. Thank you!!!

thank you!! super quick and easy😊

Thank you - very clear - and frustration & time saver!

Thanks. Fixed my moms window blinds within a few minutes just after watching this. I owe you a beer !

Thanks , great video, saved my life today.

Thank God for youtube. Thanks for posting, we totally would hsve mangled our blinds and complicated the shortening

Very very helpful. Thank you very much.

Very clear instruction.

Thanks, I found it easier to just cut the ladder below where you want it, undo the buttons then let it slide off, then reattach the end bar and buttons.

Thank you very much!

I have 11 faux wood to install to my customer. Now I know how to do it. Thank you

very clear instructions

Thank you that was very helpful

l like the way you do on how to shorten wood blinds.

Good explanation. Thanks.

Excellent! Much appreciated!

Thank you ! It was a great video. It help me

Best video I wished I watched it before I adjusted my blinds. I tried to save slats and tensioner string slipped out of my hand 🤪. luckily my blind had 4 of those and O didn’t bother to fix the one those slipped and rolled back into mechanism.

Thank you so much!

Thank you - I just want to take a minute to give my feedback to you. I really appreciated having these videos to reference the repair that was needed on our blinds. the extra slats I never knew how to remove when I hung the blinds about 10 yrs ago and the cord had dug into the cradle on the far end from the pull cords which caused the cord to fray. it was a mess to fix but I couldn't have gotten anywhere close to finishing in the 4 hours it took me had I not been able to reference these very detailed videos.I may have missed a side not (you should add it) - to use a helper when trying to melt the two cord ends together! the parts i ordered on your site came very quick and while the rollers keep popping out of the cradles the overall process was simplified buy having your site at hand. the videos were clear and very understandable. so thank you! I will be sharing your site on my social pages! -Jay

Very easy to follow!

very helpful!!!!!!! thank you!!!!

i’ve done this by common sense, which, i apparently am lacking. this video made multiple lightbulbs go off all around my head!!!

Wow, amazing!

Thanks very helpful. It might be good to point out the advantage of leaving a louvre on the bottom bar to hide the string plug holes.

Thank you so much

Thank you!

Very nice ❤

Thanks very much ❤

Thank you!!

thank you so much

Thank you.

thanks 👏🏻👍

good idea to leave two or three slats on the bottom extra in case you need a replacement

Thanks

I wonder if this method works on cordless blinds?

Thank you! A weight lifted ;-)!

@FixMyBlinds Thaks so much for the video! I messed up and cut the lift strings as I only found this video after trying to figure out what we did wrong. Please please tell me there is omitting I can do!

My Hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great!

Wish would have seen this one first before I cut the roller strings!!! LOL But I still made it work!

That was beasty,just break the blinds out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. All the other videos they are neatly sliding them out.

I must have done something wrong. When I tilt the slats the bottom bar also tilts. My blinds are different though so I think it makes more sense for me to push the lift cord AND the ladder strings though the hole without knotting them and the re-insert the plug with the lift string only. Will revisit at the weekend. Hope this helps someone else.

Is there a video for replacing broken slats on blinds with a looped pull string like these?

This is the only video I watched on this but after watching I noted some seriously quicker ways to do it after the first one. 1-You don't need to break the blinds...they slide quickly out 10 at a time just by maneuvering the strings off and pulling the whole stack out the side. 2- You don't need to put the 3 plugs in the bottom in until you are done cutting them and ready to shove the strings back in there. 3-Gather the entire "ladder" ribbed chord and cut all the little pieces at one time. No need to be snipping every string individually. Much quicker that way and more exact too to just chop all the loops while holding onto the chord you're NOT supposed to cut to make sure you just cut the ladder cord. ;) Great way to save $15/window though super easy!

Hi there, Do you know how to replace a couple of broken slats in the middle of the blinds that have looping lift strings?

Thank you. I saved my extras, cuz I like having a replacement slat ( if I can remember where I put it LOL)

Help!!! I cut the rung strings like shown, but cant get them back under the button once threaded through the hole in the bottom.

Is this video good for cordless shades?

where do I get a replacement string & how do I replace it?

i’d like to see a bit more clarity/ close up or slower? , on where to cut the ladder strings

If the strings are cut at 1.54 how do you lift the bottom rail up at 2.01?

I have shortened many Wal-Mart blinds and always cut all the strings, no problem. I did that and my lifting string went inside the top of the blind! How do I repair, or get to that??

Is there a way to recover your lift string? I didn't see this video before I started and my entire lift cord is up in the top of my blind.
