Faux Wood Blinds Installation | Hang Faux Wood Window Blinds

[@akaymaroo]

This was a perfect walkthrough for my blinds I’m hanging up. Thank you!!!

[@alexisbatista8739]

Thank you so much for this video. Way easier to install yourself than I thought.

[@rickdelisi951]

Hey there...thanks SO much for this video. I would have had ZERO chance of doing this install without your guidance, and I just finished with a 100% success rate (no one is more shocked than I am!) Cheers to you! Put the next round on my tab.

[@TayMarie23]

Hey Rick! Thank you for the awesome comment! I’m so happy I was able to help you! The directions that come with these blinds are…rather useless 😂 Have a wonderful weekend! Cheers from Northern Maine!

[@EricDeLaCruz-i7i]

It’s been 20 years since I installed these blinds and the vid def helped. Thanks!

[@TayMarie23]

Glad to hear :)

[@adrenkhahn3490]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I installed 3 blinds watching you today and they look fabulous! 2 more to go!

[@TayMarie23]

Yayyyyyy! Congratulations on the upgrade! We love them they are so nice!!!

[@craigsmalling]

Your video helped me out putting up blinds like yours

[@TheNotSoRealJeff2]

Thank you, my blinds just had no instructions with them so this helped me a lot.

[@fromdheart1]

New subscriber ! Best DIY for blinds. I will be going to Home Depot to buy, cut, & install these myself after measuring my windows! Thank uuu! GirlPower activated😁

[@TayMarie23]

Yesss Brenda! You go girl, you got this! If you run into any hiccups just comment here and I’ll be sure to get back to you! Now go make those windows beautiful!

Thank you for the blinds video. I just installed and was looking for the string. Hahaa

[@sharontaylor3305]

Thank you so much for your demonstration on parts and hanging blinds very helpful!😊

[@jimbass2127]

Prior to this, I watched a guy skip over the detailed parts I needed help with. Your video is about as good as it gets. You remind me of my daughter who loves to assemble things. Good luck with your up coming projects.

[@TayMarie23]

Awww I have always loved putting things together! We put these blinds up in two different houses so I figured a little how-to video might help others, happy it did 😊

[@chrissy212e]

Nicely done video very well explained. My new blind instruction leaflet was pretty useless and I had to search on here to figure out afew bits lol. I really didn't know what the clear triangle steady bits were for or where they went so I'm lucky I found your video.Thank u 😊

[@TayMarie23]

Of course Chrissy! Thank you so much for stopping by, I’m happy I was able to help! :)

[@nicolemanoochehri4124]

So helpful! Thank you for making this video.

[@evanphar3278]

Wow this video is great! I followed step by step and it came out perfect

[@TayMarie23]

So glad to hear! 😁

[@macwyll]

I am VERY grateful for the gift of your video! I am admittedly not so handy and was concerned if I could do this without messing it up. However, your tip about putting the blinds on the window sill to help with measuring where the brackets go was what did it for me. Thank you very much for taking the time to help us. I enjoyed you and the video. Take Care

[@TayMarie23]

I put up these blinds in two different houses and the simple step of putting the blind on the lower window sill was so helpful 😂 This was the very first video I ever made on KZbin, it’s so funny to me that it’s still relevant and is still helping people, so happy it is! Have yourself a wonderful evening! ☺️

Explained it well. I was going to pay someone, but now will install them on my own

[@TayMarie23]

You can do it! Best of luck!

Epic breakdown! Thank you so much for this. I did not like the paper instructions. You just saved us a few hundred bucks

[@EvelynArnold]

@@TayMarie23 you are so right! And you seeing you do it was empowering! Thank you again!😌

[@georgiethompson8379]

Thanks for posting this video. Do you by chance have a video on how to remove blinds from the bracket? We didn’t put the beauty plate or side parts at the beginning. TIA

[@TayMarie23]

I don’t have a video but it’s pretty easy. Where the bracket is, use your thump and gently but firmly push the plastic towards the window and the bracket should release.

[@debbiebrann3399]

Great video. Thank you so much.

[@balzoemg8415]

I needed this video! Thanks

[@JT-jq9wo]

If you take the beauty plate hooks. And position them where you're going to hang your window blind brackets. You can mark a line across the window frame where the beauty plate hooks are. Then position the window blind brackets where you marked your lines at. Using the beauty plate brackets as a guide. Mine was 9 inches on either side, measuring from the inside of the window blinds

[@simplecookingwithrabbiah1385]

You did a great job

[@babynieve9612]

Congratulations on the property 👏

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you so much! It’s been hard but rewarding work fixing these places up! We are finally done with the rental house (the house in this video) and are now working on our house on the property! Can’t wait to share updates :)

[@discovermotivation762]

Great tutorial

[@2cuteNmyGT]

So did you get 29 inch wide since it measured 29 1/2? For the wiggle room...

[@TayMarie23]

Yes, you are absolutely correct! Always subtract half an inch from your exact measurement, otherwise the blinds will be a pain to pull down :) That is for the width measurement, for the length you just want to make sure your entire window will be covered when the blinds are fully stretched. It’s better to go extra on the length if needed, never go shorter!

[@2cuteNmyGT]

@@TayMarie23 thanks so much. I'm about to order from home Depot now.

[@mexicotri]

Are there a whole in each side for the tilt wand? Just installed mind but the wand has nothing to snap onto.

[@TayMarie23]

If they are the same blinds there is only one hole on one side so if you are not seeing it you might have installed them backwards!

[@cyrinastluce7772]

Wanted to buy blinds and you video help alot. Very detailed. Thank you. New subscriber.

[@fitnessroadie2500]

Thanks so much 😊

[@TayMarie23]

No problem 😉

[@simplecookingwithrabbiah1385]

Just tell me how to exactly measure the blind 😅?? Do I have to minus 1 or 2 inches from sides when measuring the blind so they sit inside the window pane ?😊

[@TayMarie23]

Take the exact window measurement and then subtract 1/4 inch from the left and the right…so in total the blinds should be a 1/2 inch narrower then the window width to allow for wiggle room!

[@simplecookingwithrabbiah1385]

@@TayMarie23 You are the best ❤️. Thank you so much for your prompt reply .

[@Stuaft]

Hi, Home Depot cut he blinds to size for you, so did they just trim just one side of blinds or both sides to keep even.

[@TayMarie23]

Great question! They trimmed both sides to keep the pulley strings even and centered. It would have driven me crazy if they hadn’t done that! I installed these blinds for both our house and for our rental, they were cut at two different Home Depots. Both locations trimmed off either side without me asking for that, so I’m assuming that is just protocol :) However, it wouldn’t hurt to confirm that before having them cut!

[@nspencer77]

I saw the measurements for the window, but what size did you buy since you said not to buy the exact size?

[@TayMarie23]

You want a 1/4in of wiggle room for each side so it’s easier to pull down. So take your exact measurement, subtract 1/2 in, and have them cut to that size if possible! Hope this helps :)

[@renegadetherapist5664]

Do you have a video on how to shorten them? The type I have doesn't have holes in the center of the slats, they are on the side and I can't find directions for shortening that type.

[@janjabogdan1905]

Did you get video on shotening them, can you share please?

[@renegadetherapist5664]

@@janjabogdan1905 I never found one. I just did it but I still have strings hanging down because I'm afraid to cut them LOL

Thank you

[@Strictly4theHoneys]

The small screws are to anchor at the bottom if desired

[@TayMarie23]

I'm honestly surprised that more screws don't come with each package. I feel like it should be 4 screws for each bracket and then two extras for the anchors if needed. But I guess that would make too much sense lol!

[@jamesdjesse]

thanks. You saved me from having to read the instructions.

[@dreamcatchers2572]

Great video! I just installed the exact blinds in my father in-laws room, I didn't need to read the directions, just followed the video! 👍👍

[@TayMarie23]

I’m so happy to hear this! I promise you didn’t miss much, the directions for these blinds are awful haha! I bet you did a great job and they look wonderful:)

[@KH-3414]

Can you open the window to the top?

[@TayMarie23]

Definitely, as long as you install the blind flush with the trim there should be more then enough room behind the blind to open the window completely!

[@KH-3414]

@@TayMarie23 Thanks so much. Hanging them now and your quick response has helped!

So what do you do if you let go and the pull cord completely retracted? 🙈

Like when you let go of the blinds they pull all the way up? 🤔

Strange, I put about 20 of these up and never had any issues! If they are new I would contact the manufacturer to see if you could get a new wand?
