How do you shorten blinds?
1. Remove the blinds from the window. This is usually done by lifting the blinds all the way up and then unhooking them from the brackets at the top of the window.
2. Measure the blinds. You will need to measure the width and length of the blinds in order to determine how much you need to shorten them.
3. Cut the blinds. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the blinds to the desired length. Be sure to cut evenly so that the blinds hang straight.
4. Reattach the blinds to the window. Once the blinds are cut to the desired length, they can be reattached to the window. This is usually done by hooking the blinds back into the brackets at the top of the window.
5. Adjust the blinds. Once the blinds are reattached to the window, they may need to be adjusted so that they hang evenly and block out the desired amount of light.
