Tools You’ll Need:
- Measuring tape
- Flathead screwdriver
- Scissors
- Needle-nose pliers
- A ladder or step stool
Step 1: Measure Your Window
The first step in shortening your Faux Wood Blinds Cordless is to measure the height of your window. Use a measuring tape to determine the exact length you need. This measurement will guide you in adjusting the blinds to the perfect size for your window.
Step 2: Remove the Blinds
Carefully take down the blinds from the window. Lay them flat on a clean surface, making sure they are fully extended. This will make it easier to work with them and ensure you make accurate adjustments.
Step 3: Locate the Bottom Rail
Find the bottom rail of the blinds. This is the thick bar at the end of the blinds that helps keep them straight. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the plugs on the bottom rail. These plugs hold the lift cords in place.
Step 4: Adjust the Slats
Decide how many slats you need to remove to achieve the desired length. Gently pull out the lift cords from the bottom rail and slide out the extra slats. Be careful not to damage the cords, as they will be needed to reassemble the blinds.
Step 5: Cut the Lift Cords
Once you have removed the necessary slats, use scissors to cut the lift cords to the appropriate length. Make sure to leave a little extra cord to tie knots and secure the blinds back in place.
Step 6: Reassemble the Blinds
Thread the lift cords back through the bottom rail and tie a secure knot. Replace the plugs into the bottom rail to hold the cords in place. Ensure the knots are tight and the plugs are firmly in place.
Step 7: Rehang the Blinds
Carefully rehang the shortened blinds in your window. Test them to make sure they operate smoothly and that the new length is perfect for your window.
