Question

How do I cut to the length of woven and wood window coverings?

Community Answer

Take them to a home store and have them cut professionally. Don't try to do it yourself -- you'll end up being dissatisfied.

Question

How do I cut a notch in my blinds to make room for a door latch?

Community Answer

If you only need to trim a few of the slats shorter and the blind is mounted permanently onto a door, then I would say to use tin snips or sheers.

Yes you can, but make sure it's not slanted or else you'll end up with some weird blinds.

Question

Where can I take my blinds to have them cut shorter?

Community Answer

Probably a timber yard, or somewhere that has a circular saw and someone who can do it for you.

Question

How do I cut blinds to make room for a window air conditioning unit?

Community Answer

I wouldn't cut the blinds for a window AC, I would just cinch the blinds up so that they allow airflow. This lets you use the same blinds in winter time when the AC is not in the window.

Cut it like a square where you want it shortened, then curve the edges to make it curved.

Question

How do I cut an individual slat in my metal horizontal blind?

Community Answer

Use a razor blade and a ruler. Slice slowly but firmly so that you have the maximum amount of control over the cut.

Question

How do I cut mini blinds down to a 6 inch width size?

Community Answer

Make sure the blind will work if cut that small. Most blinds will say on the box the smallest you can cut them without damaging the internal mechanism.
