First thing this morning I fell because my office chair broke and so I had to butt scoot out the patio door to get to some steps so i could stand up again. On the way back inside one of the slats broke off my vertical blinds and I didnt get around to youtube fixes until tonight. I watched several videos and yours was the best. I had some white plastic from my crafting supplies and so I used that...heavier than your clear plastic...glued both sides using Loktite brush on super glue. Then I dusted it with baking soda to harden it. Then I sealed the top edge with some white duck tape I had but I didnt tape over the slot section. I am an old lady and not very handy but sonofagun it worked. I was able to get the repaired slat into the holder, too. Couldnt believe it. Thank you sooo much. A very nice ending to my crappy morning.

One of the best vertical blind repairs I’ve seen. Will try this method and see how long it lasts.

I the idea of re-using from plastic recyclables. - I super glued a bread clip, placing the bread clip hole over the vertical blind's hole to reinforce. - Use a binder clip to hold the pieces together 10-15min to let the super glue dry. - Cut the excess plastic off of the bread clip so that it's flush with the top of the blind. - Install the blind and you're done!

I did a lazier method and just got some white duct tape and stuck a little strip along each top then reneforced the ones not broken yet too hopefully prevent the others from breaking. I thought about doing a little plastic soldering and zip tie platic...thatd work too but probably take all day long to do.

Nice approach - I was going to try using the clear tabs for hanging folders but I ended going with the paper clip method w/Gorilla tape and then using white duc tape to cover.

Awesome video. Tried using packing tape but it didn't work too long. Thanx!

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

White duct tape works tho...definitely not packing tape on plastic that stuff won't stick on anything but cardboard or paper

Great suggestion. Thank you

Ive always made a hole on each side then bridge it together with thread then super glue the thread. Or use thing gauge wire with the two holes then wrap around the inside for a tight fit but make sure you put it in carefully since these blind are so brittle.

I would take the broken blind, flip it upside down, and using a hot nail, just burn thru the blind. All youll need is a lighter and a nail.

[@akabaca]

I like the idea.

Hi I have these same exact blinds and my dog had chewed them up on the ends🤦‍♀️ and I have looked everywhere and can not find them and I don’t know anything about them other than the color and pattern because when I bought my home they where here. Anyways do you happen to know who makes these or what brand they are ?

[@colleenc236]
