Found this video after MUCH frustration. Absolutely top notch: accurate and easy to follow!

[@hayleyfassnidge1812]

So much easier to follow than several other video I watched! Thank You!!!

[@mrgilbe1]

So good and clear, and just the right speed so I could follow along. Thanks!

[@stephencockrell5141]

Thank you for this video. So easy to follow and helped me fix my blinds 😀 !

[@sandi57]

Thanks! I love my cheap matchstick bamboo blinds. Not sure I could even replace them anymore. Your stringing instructions were sooo helpful! BTW, I found something called 'Venetian Blind Cord, 1/8 in Diam, braided cotton over a synthetic core' for 9-cents/ft at my local hardware store. It is great for these old blinds.

[@windmillprotea]

Thanks for the tip on the cord! I'm glad I could help!

[@nickpapas2968]

thanks for the very precise tutorial.saved me lots of time

[@ruenjou]

Thank you very much for the video. It solved my broken strings problem.

[@Gorky25]

Good job! I need this. I didn't know how to pull through the right one (cord lock).

[@windmillprotea]

Glad I could help!

[@robertturtle]

This is a most useful video. Thank you for sharing.

[@beautifulfamily6963]

[@tko517]

Thank you so much for your very informative and helpful instructions. It’s just what I needed to restring my patio shades.

[@calelfo]

Thank you so much!!! After frustration I found my salvation! God bless you and your family ❤❤

[@LillyKC23]

Excellent tutorial! Using the blue ribbon is a great idea. TYSM for your help. Much appreciated. Cheers!

[@windmillprotea]

I'm so glad it helped! I thought the contrast with the ribbon would make it easy to follow.

[@marcellopravata6378]

Grazie mille per l'aiuto anche se in alcuni passaggi es. 3 e 4 non è facile capire cosa fare. Non è possibile avere sottotitoli in italiano !😢

[@kite7214]

Thank you for clearing my fog on restringing. :-)

[@k.wolfgang7402]

Thank you for your video. I've been searching for the hardware for this type of blind and can't find it anywhere ! I have purchased new blinds that are twice as long as I need them and want to use the lower half for more windows of the same sizes. So far I can only find small pulleys that will at least work well enough, but would much prefer to use the correct hardware. If you happen to know where I might find this hardware, I'd love to find out !

[@weiyeinleong6842]

Thank you for sharing this video. Is really help me to fix my blind which the string was broken. ❤️

[@middlesidejr]

thank you for the video.

[@aimiemills7326]

Thank you so much! I got a great deal on some giant bamboo blinds because the String was broke, I'm so glad it was this easy to fix them. Now they are hanging on my porch. You've made me a proud and productive woman today!

[@mrpmhanna]

I have 6 or 7 blinds to fix. How do YOU determine the length needed? Take all the cord out of a blind and measure first? Many thanks for your super helpful video about fixing the cords. ❤

[@mrpmhanna]

FYI - I believe I bought these at Home Depot … if that matters.

[@windmillprotea]

Thank you for your comment. I do not measure the cord beforehand. If you follow the method in my video, you only need to cut the cord at the end, so determining the length is part of the process. The original cord was too damaged by the sun to take it out as a whole. I had some wasted cord with the first two blinds when I cut it beforehand. So, I used the specific method to minimise wastage and remove the guesswork. I hope it helps!

[@yesmiranujana121]

Thank you so much for making this video. All the steps are very accurate and clear. I could restring my bamboo blind very well

[@windmillprotea]

I'm so glad it helped you out with your blinds!

[@hammerh5131]

THANKS SO MUCH...

[@Morecado]

Found one of these with the strings all messed up in my GFs new apartment and your video helped me get them back into a functional state. Thank you!

[@devilaverage6718]

Thank you very much. I was able to restring my blinds - despite the cat's active help.

[@veraprince364]

LOL! My two cats were trying to assist as well. 😅

[@porsiemprereirmemas]

Thank you!!!

[@ChrisDavioshorex]

[@jeannejoubert5274]

This video is amazing. Thank you for helping me fix our blind!

[@windmillprotea]

So glad I could help you out, Jeanne!

[@HeidiHayes]

This video is wonderful! I knew there was a way to restring my blinds and couldn't figure it out on my own. I'm glad I can save the planet by simply restringing. Thanks much!

[@tater210]

The viewer can’t see the stringing of the cord on the right pulley because the camera is too far away. There are two pulleys, and the viewer can’t see how the cord is strung.

[@windmillprotea]

I am sorry you feel that way. So many people find this video very helpful. You can always head over to the full post on the blog, where I have diagrams to help you figure out how to feed the string through the pulleys. I hope it helps.

[@muanfa369]

[@gp2134]

Thanks a lot. Ur vdeo helped me... After many attempts

[@CindyWin]

Thank you very much. This was very useful. I wasn’t sure how much of string I needed. Now I know that you need not know at first but will know after you have done. ❤

[@pippamoore6202]

Thank you, so clear, my broken string was so long I was able to reuse it - I thought it would be easy just looking at the other blind, it was not., I needed to undo the old sting and start from the beginning!!! What would we do without KZbin and kind people like you?

[@ahliahomes9002]

Thank u so much for sharing. Excellent guide and a great help.

[@Krookavan]

That was extremely helpful, thank you 👍🏻

[@vanhouten64]

This video saved me soooooo much trouble, thanks! 😘😙😙💋

[@preethum17]

Very helpful. Thanks. God bless you.

[@dscgfr7773]

Thank you! Today I bought two sets of similar blinds without strings at the thrift store. Now they have strings!, ..great video!!

[@thomasward4505]

The video work but it wasn't that clear

[@kclark6956]

Thank you! Now I'm looking for a cord the cats won't chew through 🫤

[@aboutalfie1729]

This was a great help, Thank you.

[@sherirae3658]

I have had my blinds for 7 years. I clean and seal them about 1 time a year change strings out about every 3 years or so. I use marine boat clean seal. This year the strings needed to be redone. I ordered my string off Amazon and than 🧠 Brain Fog BIG TIME hit. This video saved alot of stress and getting upset also wasted string. Thank you so so much.

[@tko517]

Thanks for the tip about sealing the blinds. I will give that a try.

[@hasmahrashid9958]

❤❤❤

[@goodtimesslim3387]

Thanks for the video. I didn't think 2 pulleys and 1 cord could stump me, but it did. Good video. It helps to follow the instructions (note to myself)

[@DannaGabriella]

😝 same here

[@ritishbeelatoo5301]

Thanks a lot! From Mauritius 🇲🇺

[@VRocksAshinAlphy]

👌

[@davidseter1780]

Finally! Thank you!

[@ekruobluap]

Thanks. Worked great.

[@kraighunter5262]

Wanted to let you know how very helpful this was. We were able to restring a bamboo blind from the 1970's that was acquired from a great-grandparent's home and sat, rolled up on a garage floor for several years. Thanks!

[@windmillprotea]

That is awesome! I'm really glad I could help you out!

[@SasithaAsaranga]

Thanks saved my day. 😊😊

[@ibjan27]

Parfait simple Et bien expliqué 👍

[@howdoyou1369]

Job done, great video. Saved me from going insane!

[@windmillprotea]

Glad it helped!

[@zoesmith4182]

This video made it very easy for me to restring my blinds. Thanks! What I'd like to know...is it possible to purchase the hardware to make this type of blind? I'd love to make some fabric ones but cannot find the hardware anywhere. I understand there's safety issues with cords, perhaps that's why the hardware is no longer available. I'd love to hear from you. Thanks in advance! Zoë

[@windmillprotea]

Hi Zoe. I've also been struggling to find the exact hardware. Amazon has similar items though, that should work. Just search for blind pulley system - and remember you need one standard pulley and one with a cord lock.

[@allaboutme7737]

Thx so much! This was a great easy to follow tutorial. I used 550 paracord and will likely never have to restring my bamboo blind again as the cord will no doubt outlive the blind 😁👍

[@windmillprotea]

Yeah, I think the paracord will outlive the blinds! The first couple of blinds I did have been up for four years now, with no sun damage whatsoever! I'm happy this helped you!

[@shannonphx407]

Thank you!

[@dappmens]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@windmillprotea]

You're so welcome!

[@octaviashavers-davis325]

Awesome job, I'm about to give it a go!

[@windmillprotea]

Good luck, let me know how it goes!

[@ChocolateChip-x8w]

OMG- thank you so much for this video. You made it so easy!

[@kelliesweat6554]

Thanks now I can fix my blinds with your video, very easy to understand, should be a snap.

[@windmillprotea]

Glad it helped

[@ana-bananainca790]

Thank you! Now does anyone know how to shorten length of this shade? I have in in my bathe window and it’s way too long. I’m worried it will unravel if I don’t fix it correctly after cutting stings. 🤞🏼

[@barbaragiardelli5560]

Thank you soooo much for sharing this
