Awesome!
Glad we could help!
Thank you. I'm so glad the engineers that designed these new cordless blinds made it relatively easy to replace individual sections. Kids and blinds do not mix well.
We hear you. We were skeptical at first being we have to replace them more frequently due to having multi family but in the end safety is what is most important
My mom broke mine. How about moms, and blinds don't mix well.
Huskies and blinds don’t go well with these blinds either! My boy gets so excited when he sees me or his mama pull in the driveway that he tries to shove his head through the blinds, even though he still hasn’t learned to stick his head through the window glass…yet! LOL!
The tip to use the binding clips at the top saved my sanity, especially with my cordless blinds! Thank you!
Yeah. Have to be careful with those. Lol. Glad we could help!
Thank you so much for this!
If I may add a tip. I used one of my tapestry needles to thread the cord back through the slats. Definitely made it faster and easier.
Nice. Might have to try that next time.
I’m here for my cats😂 I’ve fixed blinds with cords before, but we have cordless ones now and I was stumped on how to fix them. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
glad we could help! with the cordless, just be sure to clip the top of the string so it doesn't try to retract them up into the top.
@@SkyManagement I did what you said and fixed both of my blinds in under 20 minutes total! I had 6 slats to replace on each. Thanks again!
WOOOW Im so glad i searched this up before making the same mistake twice. I’ve had a cat for over a year and he’s messed them up good. I already bought a new pair and they’re not too cheap, this time I was like “there’s gotta be a way” and searched this up. I’m very happy you saved me some moneys. 🤜🏼🤛🏼😎
Glad we could help!
Thanks! My cat broke a few slats and I know on move out my complex would charge like $50 a window for it. One less thing for them to complain about!
First video I came to for this exact problem, and it was a tremendous help. Thanks!
Really appreciate your tip on clipping off the middle cord at the top for cordless blinds. Probably saved me a whole lot of work trying to fish it back down if I didn't have the slack. Great video.
Thank you for posting this , it's exactly the blind issue I have & now I know another 'how to repair' - Thanks again!
Well done. Well explained and straight to the point.
After watching another vid that was twice the length of yours, you've made it simple and straight to the point. well done and thank you for the help.
You’re welcome :)
Glad we could help. Thanks for supporting our channel!
Awesome! This is the best video that explains in detail how to do this very simple job. The only thing I was a bit confused about, was what to do with all of the excess string left over from the slats I removed from the bottom to replace the damaged ones (7 in all) above. I finally pulled the bottom piece off, and moved it up just below the final slat of the blind and stuffed the extra string into the holes. It worked perfectly. Thanks for the great video!!
No problem! Glad we could help.
This video is excellent! I was finally able to repair the slats on the cordless Mini blinds. Thank you so much for this video.
Glad it helped!
Worked like a charm- thanks for clear, quick instructions!
Happy to help!
I knew it was possible, you sir are a genius! 2 kids, cat and a dog all of whom think that the $30-$50 blinds are toys...
yep, in the apartment business I see it almost everyday. lol
I did not know it was this easy, cat messed up my blinds and I had about 15 extra just lying on the bottom, thought they were all gonna fall apart once I got them loose. Thank you for teaching how to fix.
Excellent! I was hoping there was a way to do this, and you explained it so even I can understand how--lol--thank you!!
Glad we could help :)
I wish I would have seen this video with the clips before I just watched a different video and messed up the blinds! Great video though!
I did the same, how did you fix it? My middle string got sucked in. I can’t find it now 😢
Super helpful! I genuinely appreciate your taking the time to make and share this video! Thank you sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my...thank you so much. I just changed two of mine instead of buying replacements 😊😊😊❤
No problem. If you have a little extra at the bottom, try this next time :)
What do you do if the cord goes up into it? I didn’t see this video at first & I think I messed up
Fish it out from the top if possible. If it has sucked clear back up in the mechanism ... you may be in need of some new blinds. Sorry.
I did the same thing 😥
Great video I just fixed my blind. Thank You
Awesome! Glad we could help :)

Its a pain in the ass to fix this 🤪. But I did it anyway. Thank you for the vid

I tried
I had to laugh after watching this vid and kick myself for not already knowing how to do this haha.
Well done, thanks a bunch!
Thank you fixed mine with your video
Awesome! Love hearing the success stories:)
Thanks a lot buddy
Fantastic 🏆 Saving the wallet & the planet🥇
Thanks for the video you saved me some money.
Very helpful. Fix my issue in 10m.
Good job buddy
thanks! I hope you found it helpful :)
Perfecto 👌
Help I didn't clip before my strings retracted into the blinds idk if I am routing them back in correct.. I've looked everywhere for videos.
I am curious what's about older mini blinds with cord. Will it be the same thing? thanks
They can be done the same way. The corded ones are a little easier because you don’t have to worry about the cord getting sucked back up into the unit on accident. Lol
Perfect
thanks!
I don’t understand how you only needed to take off one string and not all of them. How did you push the replacement blind through the other 2 strings ?
Double thumbs up. GOD BLESS YOU
Same to you!
I didn’t follow the procedure right and use strong enough clips so the 2 middle main strings went up into the base. Is there anyway to get them out? UGH! I can’t believe it! Sucks
Am I screwed if I let go of the retractable cord and it's disappeared into the top of the blinds? Trouble fitting a video to help me fix that
I had a snafu trying this my clips holding the two guide lines slid off causing the lines go up to the top. Now i can’t the lines to come down but halfway . Is there a workaround for this?
put a clear tape on the back,to tape it, no need all the work,but good job.
If it is your personal home… sure! That works great.
Our residents that rent our nice property from us expect more than taped together blinds so this is a good way to make them “like new”. Good idea for personal home use though!
Where can I find single slats? I have 2 dogs they jumped on window shades they rip almost 5 of them on accident, Google is not very helpful. Please give some suggestions if you know by any chance we highly appreciate your help and thank you for great video.
To be honest… you may be better off getting a new set at this point. I looked and it’s hard because depending on the size, color, material… etc you will find it difficult
If your blinds had extra at the bottom (too long to begin with… you could remove 5 from the bottoms and replace the broken ones? Maybe?
Thank you I will try your suggestions
LOWES
What if my strings went up into the top holes how do I get them out? 😢
I have those blinds and a new kitten. : (
Im going to try to repair my blinds in my bedroom :) ty for the video
Glad we could help. Thank you for supporting our channel!
What do you do if you don’t clip the middle string and lose it in the top of the blinds 😬
then you my friend... are FOOKED! You could try and fish it out of the top but would require taking off the blinds to do this. It can be done unless it is sucked back completely inside the mechanism in which case... unfortunately it would be cheaper to buy new blinds.
This was a while ago, but what do you do if you didnt clip the strings and they shot into the top
I’m here for the same question! 🙋♀️
Same here!!
Threading them back is time consuming. 😮💨 I felt like throwing them in the trash, and buying a new one.
Yeah. I’d the broken ones are up at the top it can take some time. When it’s the bottom ones, it goes pretty fast.
I did the left part on Friday, and the right side on yesterday. When I finished, I realized, that I threaded them on the outside of the looped threads, and not on the inside. 😡 I left them this way, but I am going through an obsessive compulsive disorder episode, because of this. Although the blinds go up and down just as well.
If you still need to do it or need to do it again, get yourself a tapestry needle. Made easy work of putting the string back through.
Hello, I followed your instructions, except for 1.... Now the middle strings on each side were drawn up into the top bar.... Any trick or video on how to pull the string that is mysteriously disappeared?
I’m in the same situation, did this get figured out?
@@Oceandesert16 Same situation here. I swear manufacturers plan this crap. Why in the world would it not have a stopping mechanicsm to keep it from being sucked into the top spring loaded mechanism. so that you could pull back out.
There’s a little metal piece stuck on my strings, should I just cut it off?
If you are referring to a little metal piece at the bottom to hold the bar on I would not see why you could not cut it off and then tie it back on when done… or just make a fat knot underneath in place of the metal piece.
If the metal piece is on the string holding the individual slats… that would be a new one to me as I have never seen that. Proceed at your own risk ⛔️
Mine had this also. It is a tiny metal clamp that I was able to slide off with pliers. It was to small for me to re-open and use again but I just tied it off like in the video and I was fine.
My dumbass was referencing this video with another where the other video took the entire set of blinds off; i skipped past the part where you said to put clips on the string... i took my L and now i gotta buy a whole new set of blinds
If you show it with large paper clips ?
Please help. I didn't know to hold the string in place first and the cord retracted. How do I fix this?
oh no! yeah, if they are cordless blinds, then you have to put a clip of something at the top before you untie them or the cords can retract up into the top. unfortunately, to fix that you would have to take them down and fish the string out from the top while trying not to spill out all of the slats since they are no longer attached to the rest of the blinds. This will be a pretty big pain, and I think if it were me, I would just scrap them and buy a new set. but, I'm sure its possible to fish the string back out. let us know if you get it straitened out and have any tips for people facing the same issue.
@@SkyManagement I got the strings back out. However they nolonger go up and down. I will just need to buy a new one. I will try to come back here if/when I move out of my apartment and need to finally replace my blinds. Until then I do not plan to replace them as I have a toddler who will most definitely destroy them again.
After I get new ones tho my plan is to tear apart the old ones and figure out how the mechanics work. As I do with most of the things I manage to break.
@Nancy Quevedo I did the same thing today, btw, there isn’t a 3rd sting for the mechanism.
That's what I want!
glad we could help
What's funny when he throw those clicks 😁
I feel like for the amount of time it takes, I'll just pay the money to slap a new one on lmao. Good video though, thank you.
I messed up in the process and the strings have fully retracted into the spring mechanism. I'm not sure what happened but they dont appear to make a stopping mechanism so once the strings retract now the whole window blind is defunct? wtf is that. I have to buy a whole replacement? I swear they manufacturer stuff like this on purpose to make more money.
Okay but what if that string you clamped got pulled through, cause that’s what happened to me 😅
Just happened to me today😩. What did you do?
@@sarahnasser3627 I just went and bought a new pair of blinds 😭 They’re so cheap at Walmart, it wasn’t worth the time messing with it
It will work but if that rope not secure it’s over
Yeah, if they are cordless blinds, make sure to clip it at the top really good so it doesn't get sucked up into the top. I've had that happen.
There's gotta be an easier faster way right😢?
You skipped the labor-intensive part: stringing the draw cords through each slat, both sides.
Oh h ell no
I wanted to fix my blinds for so long because my brother calls them goofy ahh blinds 😭😭😭
glad we could help
Meh, too much work
I use to think so too because blinds were cheap to replace. but with everything going to cordless blinds now, they have gotten so expensive that they are worth fixing now.
Thank you for sharing this to us, I did making the same mistake twice. but now I Got it :):);)
No problem! Happy to help 😄
Awesome Job!
Thanks
