I can't thank you enough for this video! We live in a rental home, and my dog broke one of the blinds. My daughter was going to call someone to come and replace them. As soon as I finished watching this, I took the scissors and removed the damaged bind, and added one from the bottom. It didn't even take me 5 minutes! My daughter was amazed, and so thankful. You saved us from having to buy new ones! Thank you again 💕

Wow!! That was an amazing fix. Took me about 1 minute to do it. Thanks so much. Now I don’t have to have the gap covered with paper towel and scotch tape😊

That's the method I used instead of undoing the knot at the bottom. Also, a dab of super glue helps to close the slit in the slat.

Thank you so much! My maintenance guy installed brand new blinds and tore the very top blind..I will use one of the "extra" blinds at the bottom. Genius.

I’ve never thought to do this . What a great idea ! 😊

Wow, excellent solution! Thanks for sharing!

great idea, much easier than the long way in most blind repair videos, i was hoping there was an easier way. thank you for sharing.

Worked great for three broken slats. Probably saved me $40.00 to avoid buying two matching blinds for the bedroom Thank you very much!

🇺🇲🌺 I'm so glad I found you. I'm a "cat mom" & my fur babies can't wait for me to open the mini blinds in the morning. So I've been hopeful for an easy quick fix. Thank you. Thank you!! Saved me time & money. Hugs from Texas 🌹🤠

You saved my life. My wife is no longer upset that I broke the blinds thanks to you 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I saw 2 other videos on how to do this, and Im glad I clicked on yours! Super simple and would have never thought to do that. Will try it out this afternoon!

Thank you!

I actually had basically the same idea, but was not confident enough to do it and your video helped me be confident it would work and the specific way you slid it from the side was good info. Thanks very much

Genius!! 💡Thanks

I’m gonna have to go home and try that out. I’ve got one spot in my blind that needs to be fixed. You just helped me out. Thank you.

Yes!! Thank you!

Amazing video, you show the easy way to do it. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

I just fixed my blinds thanks to you. You’re great. Thanks

Awesome fix--I'm so happy as I was about to replace them. Thank you!!!

Thank yuo so much! life saver!

Your method is AWESOME!

Thank you so much for this. My baby broke two sets of blinds and I was bugging out having to buy two new sets and he only broke 4 slats on each. Now I can fix the and I’ll use the tape to reinforce.

That's such a good technique

So I thought I could do this and fix my blinds but I wanted to make sure so I went to KZfaq and boom! You verified it thank you.

@Jennifer Cline aka Miss DeWalt. Thank you Jennifer for the repair idea. It really helps in saving money so we don't have to replace when we can fix. If you still have that demo mini blind, try tack heating each cut with a soldering iron so that slat has a little more strength? It's worth a try to see if the two ends will fuse or melt together. If not, like others said, we could use tape. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

I’ve been staring at the blinds I want to repair thinking about cutting slats. Thank you for actually DOING it so I have confidence in trying it.

THANKS!

Good job

Great Presentation ! I thought of this but seeing you do it made me think it is at least worth a try. I also soak my blinds in the bathtub with Dawn detergent then scrub a little because they get very dusty

Thanks very much! Reinforced mine with tiny piece of scotch tape and looks fine.

Great idea. Thank you for sharing. I've done something like this but I opted to make longer cuts at an angle for a more sturdy feel. If you are brave enough to try and "repair" your cordless blinds by replacing your slats with the ones found at the bottom, I found binder clips help from keeping the cords from retracting back into the mechanism. Also, using pieces of paper clips to help your knots from going through the bottom rail opening. Tedious at first but so satisfying when done.

Awesome idea!! Thank you!! I had just watched the other longer more complicated version on another channel and was about to do it. Thankfully your video played after and I was just listening to it and thought that makes way better sense to me. It was so simple and so quick! I have a cat so we all know means. Thankfully all the extra at the bottom on his favorite window😀. And as suggested you can add the white duct. My blinds have a smaller hole so it stays wrapped around the thread. Such a great idea thank you so much!!

This helped thanks!

Love it!

Worked like a charm

Genius!!!

Thank you 🙏🏾

Wow… what a great idea

I just fixed a really cheap set of blinds at my son's townhouse rental using the exact method. I added a piece of Scotch Tape which hides pretty well. One more set to fix tomorrow same way. It is pretty sad when I tell you the set is really cheaply made but not cheap to buy. $35 for flimsy plastic.

I have cheapy broken ones, like 6 to replace. Will try. Thanks

Best hack ever!!

Freaking brilliant !

Pure Genius

OMG....U saved me having to buy a new blind...Thank u for this super quick and easy fix..

You rock! I just saved a trip to HD and $25!

I was so excited to find this tutorial. Thank you so much! Although skimming through comments, I feel like an idiot because mine did not come out to hot 🙈 one of the slates wouldn’t stay in place but as long as I never touch them again, it should be good! I wonder what I did wrong though😢 I haven’t had these blinds very long, but the three I replaced had a yellow tint. I wonder why.

Thanks for the video! I have a quick question- I have an issue if my vertical blinds of window not closing properly.In my case, I am having those vertical slat blinds and I have 2 issues and would greatly appreciate your response! (1) In my living room window blinds, only 1 out of the total 9 blinds move when I pull the rope attachment. The remaining 8 blinds just stop moving along with the first one after 2 seconds of pulling my rope attachment so there is this huge gap created when I close the blind and sunlight comes right in.What to do about it? (2) For my bedroom window blinds, i ma having the same issue but in this case 4 out of 9 blinds move after pulling the rope attachment. The remaining 5 just won’t move at all after a while so it creates a wide gap and sunlight comes right in. How to solve this issue? Thanks ahead of time for your response🙏

Best ever

This was the best one Ive seen for myself.. single mom Thank you!

How can I unbend the bent slats

Terrific idea, Jennifer! Our cats have no respect for inanimate objects. 🤣

What if the blinds are fake wood? Any quick fix for those?

Will this work for aluminum or just vinyl?

Wow, saved me a bunch of money! Thanks! Whoops. Spoke too soon. My blinds were too cheap!!!!

It is simple as that, and the blind is fixed

Every one of my miniblinds develops frays in the strings that keep one side of the blind from raising and lowering, to where the bottom of the blinds are cockeyed at an angle. They are 37 years old and some were never even raised or lowered during that time. Apprently it's cheap string and it just gets old, frays, and gets stuck in the area where the round roller is at the top that is on some kind of spring that is suppose to allow the full width of the blinds to raise and lower together, and is suppose to grab the two strings when you let go of them. I don't want to throw the whole mini-blinds away just over this. Can you do a video on how to fix this?

Thank you for the video. I will try to fix it myself. The cleaning lady broke 3 slats.

Basically replacing a broken blind with another 'broken' blind.

this doesn't work if the blinds are old & brittle, the plastic just breaks off!

Great video but please delete the other one so that search results send the enquirer to this video.

OMG. I love your idea. Super easy. I would like to Venmo u $5 for coffee!

I watch after replacing blinds with new ones 🙄

I did this and when I unplug the string it when 3\4 of the way up the blind. Now I can't get it down. HELP

Not a good a idea, (emergency)...So, you want to destroy a perfectly perfect slat. Then someone might stick a tape & a finger printed sticky tape that might be filthy to view. Then the cut or slit slot will eventually bend or break...For me it looks not a good fix. Only a temporary fix.

Can this be done on the faux wood blinds?

Genius!!!
