This was a perfect walkthrough for my blinds I’m hanging up. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Way easier to install yourself than I thought.
Your video helped me out putting up blinds like yours
Hey there...thanks SO much for this video. I would have had ZERO chance of doing this install without your guidance, and I just finished with a 100% success rate (no one is more shocked than I am!) Cheers to you! Put the next round on my tab.
Hey Rick! Thank you for the awesome comment! I’m so happy I was able to help you! The directions that come with these blinds are…rather useless 😂
Have a wonderful weekend! Cheers from Northern Maine!
New subscriber ! Best DIY for blinds. I will be going to Home Depot to buy, cut, & install these myself after measuring my windows! Thank uuu! GirlPower activated😁
Yesss Brenda! You go girl, you got this! If you run into any hiccups just comment here and I’ll be sure to get back to you! Now go make those windows beautiful!
Awesome video tutorial!
I like her style 😂💪🏾
EXCELLENT VIDEO! I installed 3 blinds watching you today and they look fabulous! 2 more to go!
Yayyyyyy! Congratulations on the upgrade! We love them they are so nice!!!
Nicely done video very well explained. My new blind instruction leaflet was pretty useless and I had to search on here to figure out afew bits lol. I really didn't know what the clear triangle steady bits were for or where they went so I'm lucky I found your video.Thank u 😊
Of course Chrissy! Thank you so much for stopping by, I’m happy I was able to help! :)
Thank you so much for your demonstration on parts and hanging blinds very helpful!😊
Prior to this, I watched a guy skip over the detailed parts I needed help with. Your video is about as good as it gets. You remind me of my daughter who loves to assemble things. Good luck with your up coming projects.
Awww I have always loved putting things together! We put these blinds up in two different houses so I figured a little how-to video might help others, happy it did 😊
It’s been 20 years since I installed these blinds and the vid def helped. Thanks!
Glad to hear :)
THANK YOU!! You saved me A LOT of TIME 🎉
Wow this video is great! I followed step by step and it came out perfect
So glad to hear! 😁
Very helpful! Thank you for the video!
Of course! Happy I was able to help! Best of luck with your blind install :)

Awesome job. Thank you. Very helpful
Glad I could help :)
Thank you so much saved me so much time so many small pieces would’ve taken me an hr to figure out 😂.
thanks! great video
Beautiful 😍
I am VERY grateful for the gift of your video! I am admittedly not so handy and was concerned if I could do this without messing it up. However, your tip about putting the blinds on the window sill to help with measuring where the brackets go was what did it for me. Thank you very much for taking the time to help us. I enjoyed you and the video.
Take Care
I put up these blinds in two different houses and the simple step of putting the blind on the lower window sill was so helpful 😂
This was the very first video I ever made on RUclips, it’s so funny to me that it’s still relevant and is still helping people, so happy it is! Have yourself a wonderful evening! ☺️

Thank you! My first project! So much easier following you step by step!
Of course! Happy to help:)
The blinds were our first project when renovating both our own home and our rental unit! They are a great place to start ☺️ Have a great weekend!
@@TayMarie23 thank you!! You also!
You did a great job
Thankyou soooooooo much. Your the best ❤
Of course! Happy I was able to help ☺️
I just bought 4 of these blinds and had no idea how to install them. Thanks!!
Happy to help 💛😊
Thank you 🙏🏽 great video
You are so welcome 🤗
Thank you
Great tutorial
So did you get 29 inch wide since it measured 29 1/2? For the wiggle room...
Yes, you are absolutely correct! Always subtract half an inch from your exact measurement, otherwise the blinds will be a pain to pull down :) That is for the width measurement, for the length you just want to make sure your entire window will be covered when the blinds are fully stretched. It’s better to go extra on the length if needed, never go shorter!
@@TayMarie23 thanks so much. I'm about to order from home Depot now.
Of course! If you run into any trouble while putting them up just comment here and I’ll be sure to help you out any way I can:) Best of luck!
Thanks so much 😊
No problem 😉
Congratulations on the property 👏
Thank you so much! It’s been hard but rewarding work fixing these places up! We are finally done with the rental house (the house in this video) and are now working on our house on the property! Can’t wait to share updates :)
Do you have a video on how to shorten them? The type I have doesn't have holes in the center of the slats, they are on the side and I can't find directions for shortening that type.
Epic breakdown! Thank you so much for this. I did not like the paper instructions. You just saved us a few hundred bucks
Of course! I’m so happy you found it helpful! There are so many little projects that really upgrade your home that are totally doable if you are willing to learn and have patience with yourself! You got this, go make those windows beautiful :)
@@TayMarie23 you are so right! And you seeing you do it was empowering! Thank you again!😌
Explained it well. I was going to pay someone, but now will install them on my own
You can do it! Best of luck!
Wanted to buy blinds and you video help alot. Very detailed. Thank you. New subscriber.
I’m so happy you found it helpful! I absolutely love faux wood blinds, best of luck with your install! Feel free to drop a comment later one if you need any help while putting them up and I’ll try my best to get back to you! You got this!
If you take the beauty plate hooks. And position them where you're going to hang your window blind brackets. You can mark a line across the window frame where the beauty plate hooks are. Then position the window blind brackets where you marked your lines at. Using the beauty plate brackets as a guide. Mine was 9 inches on either side, measuring from the inside of the window blinds
Thanks for posting this video. Do you by chance have a video on how to remove blinds from the bracket? We didn’t put the beauty plate or side parts at the beginning. TIA
I don’t have a video but it’s pretty easy. Where the bracket is, use your thump and gently but firmly push the plastic towards the window and the bracket should release.
Are there a whole in each side for the tilt wand? Just installed mind but the wand has nothing to snap onto.
If they are the same blinds there is only one hole on one side so if you are not seeing it you might have installed them backwards!
Hi, Home Depot cut he blinds to size for you, so did they just trim just one side of blinds or both sides to keep even.
Great question! They trimmed both sides to keep the pulley strings even and centered. It would have driven me crazy if they hadn’t done that! I installed these blinds for both our house and for our rental, they were cut at two different Home Depots. Both locations trimmed off either side without me asking for that, so I’m assuming that is just protocol :) However, it wouldn’t hurt to confirm that before having them cut!
I saw the measurements for the window, but what size did you buy since you said not to buy the exact size?
You want a 1/4in of wiggle room for each side so it’s easier to pull down. So take your exact measurement, subtract 1/2 in, and have them cut to that size if possible! Hope this helps :)
Just tell me how to exactly measure the blind 😅?? Do I have to minus 1 or 2 inches from sides when measuring the blind so they sit inside the window pane ?😊
Take the exact window measurement and then subtract 1/4 inch from the left and the right…so in total the blinds should be a 1/2 inch narrower then the window width to allow for wiggle room!
@@TayMarie23 You are the best ❤️. Thank you so much for your prompt reply .
The small screws are to anchor at the bottom if desired
I'm honestly surprised that more screws don't come with each package. I feel like it should be 4 screws for each bracket and then two extras for the anchors if needed. But I guess that would make too much sense lol!
Great video! I just installed the exact blinds in my father in-laws room, I didn't need to read the directions, just followed the video! 👍👍
I’m so happy to hear this! I promise you didn’t miss much, the directions for these blinds are awful haha! I bet you did a great job and they look wonderful:)
So what do you do if you let go and the pull cord completely retracted? 🙈
Like when you let go of the blinds they pull all the way up? 🤔
Can you open the window to the top?
Definitely, as long as you install the blind flush with the trim there should be more then enough room behind the blind to open the window completely!
@@TayMarie23 Thanks so much. Hanging them now and your quick response has helped!
Having a problem with the wand wont click or notin like that
Strange, I put about 20 of these up and never had any issues! If they are new I would contact the manufacturer to see if you could get a new wand?
@@TayMarie23 hey thanks for the quick response I have to take it back to home Depot was missing the inside part where the wand screws in and click got a new and everything is up and steady
Was hoping to see how to remove the extra ten slats on the bottom.
I haven’t had to do this yet, Im sure there are a few good videos on the process, best of luck!
3 houses on 1 property???! Talk about house hacking!! Congrats!
Haha it was a crazy opportunity so we scooped it up!
How much..
Totally depends on the size of the blind needed, if I remember right they range from like $26-60.
@@TayMarie23 Thank you so much 😊

Thank you Larry! 😊
You would make someone a gorgeous wife 😍
Haha thank you! I still have a LOT of wifey stuff to learn though, if you watch my making a pie video you will see what I mean! I’m a hot mess in the kitchen! Thank you watching :)
@@TayMarie23 Thanks for replying back🥰
DO NOT PUT THESE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT! They warp after 12 months. Total waste of money
Really? Wow, sorry to hear that! It will be interesting to see what they look like after our current tenants move out! Luckily the house is shaded most of the day!
