Introduzione
This guide will show you how to shorten your cordless blinds to fit a window perfectly. Custom sized blinds are generally more expensive, and having too long of blinds makes them more prone to break easily.
The blinds used as an example are for a 3 ft. wide window, but this guide will work for any size of cordless blinds. There are no special skills required to complete this project.

Extend the blinds to their full length.

-
-
Figure out exactly how long you want the blinds to be in the window.
-
Cut the blind off below the very last blind that you want in the window using your scissors and continue cutting the excess blinds off until you reach the bottom rail.
-
You should now have a single, tight string in the middle, and loose strings in the shape of a ladder.
-
-
-
Cut the center of the horizontal strings connecting the ladder that were holding the excess blinds in place, essentially splitting the ladder in half but still avoiding the tight center string attached to the plug.
-
For the sections that don't have the tight center string connected to the plug, you still need to cut the ladder but don't need to worry about cutting the string connected to the plug since there isn't one.
-
-
-
-
Allow the plug to slide back in the hole to lock the twisted strings in place.
-
For the sections that don't have the tight center string attached to the plug, you just need to take the loose plug that you set to the side in step 4 and push that in the hole to lock everything in place.

Is there any limit to the number of horizontal slats that can be removed? I have a 48" long 21 1/2" bind that I want to shorten to 22"
