    This can be tricky without a wire restring tool. Use your thumb and index finger to squeeze the fabric at the end of the cord and compress it. Then, use a lighter to singe the tip of the cord. This will make it easier to navigate the tiny hole at the end of the cord. Alternatively, you can lay the string on top of the opening and use a paper clip or pencil tip to push the fabric into the opening.

    Pull on both strings until the blind reaches the top. Then let the blind go, and it should straighten itself.

    If if is to move the blinds up and down, just pull the string to pull them up and then take it towards the right. This stops them falling back down and the same goes for taking them down.
