My hero. Two for one. Saws over scissors. As far as the hole goes.. Looks good to me. I doubt I'll do as well. I'm pretty sure they make stick-on hole reinforcements that will clean up my mistakes. I'd rather buy reinforcements than a specialty hole punch I'll never use again
This how I do it. Your way seems more complicated and time consuming. Use an old one and lay it over the one to be trimmed. Align the top , then use the bottom of the old one as a guide to mark. lay a metal ruler just barely above the line. Make a medium score with a utility knife using the ruler as a guide. Then bend the blind at the score line making sure the score line is on the outside of the bend. Similar to cutting sheetrock.
Tin snips cuts quick and clean with no chips or damage!
Thank you. That is great ideal to make hole
Ok now how do I do this using scissors

You can also cut them easily with sturdy, sharp scissors.
You can use scissors. I lined the blinds up and cut several of them at one time with a mitre saw.

Huh
What size drill bit did you use?
Anyone got a handy miter saw I can borrow really. We're talking about people who are doing this at home, not professionals.
Sorry but it does not look like a factory cut hole.... more of a ghetto hole
you mean a "glory hole" lol!
