This was posted six years ago and you're still a life saver. you're freaking awesome thank you so much! 💗

[@SirValiantIII]

Broooo thank you my landlord charges like $175 for broken blinds 🥵 this worked perfectly!!! I owe you one

[@georgiaw1026]

I have used clear gorilla glue twice to repair a broken slat, while the perfectly good slats at the bottom were laughing at me. I will be doing this first thing in the morning. Thank you so much for this enlightenment!

[@brooklynnchick]

Me too! For years!

[@Mira-mq3fi]

I was going to Home Depot to get brand new Blind but after watching this video, I will fix the slat. Thank you!

[@ellem8997]

"...making you wonder if you can do the job or not..." Loved that line because yes, I wondered! But thanks to your instructions, I got the job done, Thanks!

[@jimpierce7347]

I was very hesitant to fix my blinds (dog ate several slats).... but this video is SUPER! Will have no problem now! THANK YOU SAM!! GOOD JOB!!!

[@dawnh8185]

Jim Pierce that’s exactly what happened to mine! So thankful for this video!!

[@timwrightfamily740]

One of the best demos I've ever seen on KZbin! Very clear and detailed! Thank you so much.

[@lisacaroon1689]

This video was exactly what I was looking for! Super easy and detailed. Thank you!

[@mjackson7809]

Your explanation and demonstration was excellent. I had to blinds that were broken and have looked at 2 previous videos that were okay, but not exactly like yours. You are a GREAT TEACHER. I know that I can do this now. Thank you for your help.

[@brooklynnchick]

This was so helpful during a stressful time! I owe you a burger and beverage of your choice! Thank you for being there when I needed help, I really appreciate it. ❤

[@TheSecondFoundation]

It saved me from being castrated by my beautiful partner.

[@colescott3969]

Saved me from getting kicked out

[@Kegokec]

I was going to buy all new blinds to replace the slat my dog broke 8 months ago but never got around to it and realized in the middle of the night it could probably be fixed. First video that came up and it's the exact kind I have. Thank you SO MUCH for making this. Saved me $50+!

[@deborc2705]

Was not aware there were extra slats within the blind. I was thinking about this idea last night and you reinforced it can be done. Thank you. Calming approach was fantastic. Will fix my blinds today.

[@DillyDahlia]

This is fantastic. I had resigned myself to buying THREE new blinds (to make sure they matched, large window with 3 sections), all for 2 broken slats..and then I found this. Done! Thank you so much for making this video.

[@hollyhepworth438]

WOW! I like many others had no idea how to fix my blinds. I have a GSD that can get overexcited when she see’s other doggo’s having a walk and has broken many slats. I’m so glad I looked for repair videos and found yours! Your step by step instruction and patient encouraging tone is invaluable. Thank You!

[@bellasabatini2812]

You don’t understand how much you’ve just saved my life... thank you😭

[@joelsandoval5405]

umm, just subscribed, completely mind blown. to be honest, this is far easier than I thought and easier than replacing them. I just cant believe it. AMAZING

[@HollywoodRippin]

Like, if your lease is up and trying to repair things around

[@jurnee-y]

🤣🤣

[@aprileisemann7776]

DYING THIS IS ME

[@KailuaChick]

Yup!! My puppy chewed on the bottom of mine 🤦‍♀️

[@Pikminization]

Yup 😂

[@Pikminization]

@@KailuaChick OMG!!! Mine too, just happened today and I’m moving out in a week! We were so close of leaving clean. He destroy the first 7 😭

[@darvitayoung4811]

This was a great help. Thank you. I figured there as a way to fix my blinds but thought I’d have to remove all blinds below and put them all back again. What a relief. Your clear and slow instructions are much appreciated.

[@justinrhee5783]

You saved my life!! Broke two of those at my in-law's place. It was a super quick fix!! Thanks a lot!!

[@LyricSpencer]

The plastic plug broke right off, but I was able to thread the lines through the holes without removing the plugs. It wasn't easy but it got done. Now I have my privacy back. Thank you!

[@Clovistered]

I did this, its very easy to do if you follow these steps, my blinds look new, thank you so much

[@patmcg4755]

Great video. It never occurred to be that this was so easy. I’ve just done it. Many thanks from the UK

[@EBWells]

Thank you for sharing! You saved me a few hundred bucks. I had no idea the repair was so simple.

[@pamellaarias]

Thanks for this. You’re a very good and patient instructor.

[@smedal1]

So appreciated this! Dog chewed our blinds the day we moved into the house & I’ve put it off for four years after nesting up the damaged slats. Thought it was going to be a huge job but thanks to your video, done in half an hour 👍🏻 Great job

[@elisabeamer734]

I’ve wasted SO MUCH $$$. Thank you for this clear and simple video!

[@nenaharville8551]

You are my hero! I have been dreading telling my husband how our dog broke 2 slats right while we are trying to sell our house!

[@charnesemccleave690]

This video was Heaven sent!!! If you have kids you know my pain- 4 and a 9 year old; their blinds are torn and I didn’t want to replace them just yet! Thank you very much

[@mylatestaddiction]

THANK YOU!!!! You just saved me a BUNCH of money. Showed that by have a bit of patience I can fix something more easily than I had anticipated. Your directions were very detailed. You explained it so well that it made the process seem rather simple and that it didn't required any special tools.

[@anydrama1]

omg you r a genius !! spent the morning shouting at hubby for breaking blind bang in the middle ... so informative doing right now.. as hubby has now fallen asleep 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@number1pappy]

Thanks! 😊 I had two broken slats, and I checked like you showed. I actually have 4 extra slats on the bottom. It was a little tedious, but it's really simple, like you said. We have custom blinds and they were ridiculously expensive. The company that installed them wanted a flat fee of $100 dollars to fix them. Your video saved me! Thanks again 😊

[@stac1126]

Thank you! I was able to replace the broken slats! It was easy, your step by step, detailed instructions were FANTASTIC! THANK YOU!!!

[@probstjt]

OMG.... thank you for making this diy fix. You're suggestions on not getting the pull cords tangled up was spot on. I did not leave my blinds hanging up to work on them, I probably should have. This video helped me save 5 blinds

[@mariapalie841]

I had two broken slats on on blinds at a rental that I own, you gave me the confidence to tackle the repair myself.😀

[@OWNERBUSINESS]

Thanks for sharing! This saved my tenants $40. I thought I would have to replace the entire blind.

[@SherryJo777]

You are a nice landlord! Some landlords wouldnt try to help their tenants!

[@deniset.9902]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!! Worked like a charm and was super easy. I was really going to buy a whole new set, but you just saved me money!!

[@sandraschuett9988]

Oh, thank you so much. You did not leave anything out of this video. You explained this is such great detail I am very happy you were so patient. Your the greatest......

[@anyacruz1734]

Truly appreciative- Thanks a million 😊 This tutorial saved me at least $150! I had to repair two windows...

[@mattpablolive]

You are a rock star! Thank you for this video. I appreciate how detailed and efficient you are. Who knew it was that easy! You truly brought good to the world! Well done!

[@Clovistered]

oh men i needed this, thank you very much i will be doing these on multiple windows, kids will break these all the time.

[@Gigi_Endersby]

You are a LIFESAVER❤!!!! Thank you so much for your tutorial!!

[@michiteama]

Thanks!!! Ive needed this for around 6 months, holding off on buying nee blinds. Glad I did, thanks for saving me so much money!

[@sab12633]

I’m in love! Thank you so much - my foster husky did a total number on my custom made blinds.

[@jeffthewhiff]

Yes, this video was very helpful. I recently broke one of the slats and have been working on the blind on the floor, but while watching the video, I think it would be easier to work on it while the blind is hanging.

[@lewisb3100]

Thanks Sam! Saved me a lot of heartache. Didn't know blinds come with extra slats.

[@abilenevickers1314]

Thank you for the step by step process as well as being aware of common mistakes. I found this video quite helpful.

[@paulprice244]

Thanks for video! saved me a fortune replacing most if the blinds in my hotel!!

[@rajikathir3764]

[@rtpmedic66]

[@joannas7927]

Thank you for the tutorial! Step by step was great. Saved us money and kept us busy during this time of social distancing.

[@smiler0616]

Nice one, Sam! Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. 💪👍

[@teamblacklifestyle5349]

Thanks for sharing this. I was to replace a broken slat with your help.

[@andrewtran1376]

Thanks for making this video my guy, my dog broke the blind and I was wondering how to fix it. You’re a hero!

[@albert39520]

Thank you! Your clear explaination is appreciated. My bottom rail buttons were missing - disintegrated with sun and age - so I used some REAL BUTTONS to thread the support string through. Works perfectly!!

[@albert39520]

And, the kindness of People across the globe offering their videos always causes me intense gratitude.

[@debbieharris5156]

Wow who knew there were extra slats?between your video and 1 other I’ve actually done it, great job and grateful thanks from Newcastle in the uk

[@rh3263]

Thank your for this video it was very simple and easy to learn I will try to fix my window blinds by step as you did. Thank again

[@chaunasawyer6898]

This video was very useful and easy to follow. Dont be discouraged you can do it!

[@jessicapeters2856]

Thank you so much for this video. I fixed my broken blind in less than 15 minutes!!

[@kbsyoutube3304]

Great video!!! Thank you so much. Now I can properly fix the broken blind in my son's bedroom.

[@justwannasaysomethin]

Thank you so much!! I'm moving out of my kids grandparents house and he broke 5 pieces of our blinds at the bottom (when he was a baby) and I didn't wanna leave them messed up but also didn't wanna spend a ton to buy more. But I can definitely do this😊 thank you!!

[@rajvenkataraman1621]

This video is excellent!! To the point, practical - you answered many questions going through my mind, I tried and it worked, thank you.

[@4godandcountry663]

Great video, simple and easily explained. Thank you.

[@nathanbrinson]

Don't play disc golf inside. Fair warning. Fantastic video though, 100% what I needed.

[@marcmcalister6738]

Getting ready to sell our house, the really helped. Feel much better about my son's bedroom window now.

[@jumajaco]

You saved me at least a hundred bucks from my security deposit. Thank you 🙏

[@r0bsantos]

Thank you! Great instructions, replaced with an extra in 10-15 minutes! 🎉

[@VinodKumarSMariamma]

Wow, thanks Man. This is so easy to follow and you just saved me few $s. No longer mad at my baby for breaking the slat

[@MoreThanMaintenance]

It's amazing how many people will just toss the old blind because of a few broken slats and spend $100 on a new blind. I learned the same lesson when my son was going through that stage... they just love to look out the window to experience the outside world 😅 Let's just say I got pretty fast at remove the old slats and replacing them 👍

[@tarawebster6797]

Thanks for such a great, detailed explanation on how to this!

[@gkbowtique4724]

Thanks for the great video! Now going to try and fix all the slats our dog has broken haha

[@SarahHansford]

This just saved me $55! My blinds look good as new 🤩

[@bettyrubble2628]

Thank you for this how-to!!! My dog has vent and scratched about 6 slats that i need to replace. Is there any way id be able to buy a few individual slats since i eed more than the 2 extra atghe bottom?

[@daverocker1]

You are the man bro! Big ups!

[@knochg]

Excellent presentation. I suggest using a needle and thread to pull the cord through the holes and the bottom hole. This eliminates the removal of the button. I used a pick tool set available at any auto store to remove the knot. After I pulled the cord above the level of the bad slat I removed the bad slat, replaced it with the good slat, then ran the needle and thread through the bottom of the cord. The needle is passed down the entire line of holes including the button, then just pull the cord through using the thread. Similar to running an electrical line through a conduit.

[@EatingfromtheGarden]

Thanks for the video. I’ve been naughty hiding my cats and now I have holes and need to get them hidden asap for inspection before I leave. Ugh😅

[@miss_elajoi_naturally4780]
