Thank you for saving my security deposit 🙌🏻

[@DeeDee-lz8zx]

Great idea ! This video should be mandatory for all CAT owners.

[@AlleyPicked]

You are exactly right! Our cats ruined 2 other shades...which is why I figured out this fix :-)

[@rbestable]

ABSOLUTELY agree. Mandatory video for all cat owners. Just got done replacing $250 worth of blinds because I had not seen this video!!! Never again will I replace a cat-broken blind! Thanks for a great video! 🎉

[@yjohnson2473]

I'm here because of my cat. Was looking for help removing and completely replacing. I am very thankful for this.

[@magalissantiago2817]

Amen.

[@CamilleHarris]

Brilliant! “There’s always extra blinds at the bottom” - thank you!! This just saved the day - I literally would have tried to order new slats not realizing there’s a lot extra 🎉

[@veronicac4550]

Thanks so much for this tip!!! I used it on a much bigger broken blind and while a bit more challenging, worked like a charm!

[@AlleyPicked]

Excellent!

[@nicklaterza5595]

THANKX Cuzbro! Nice Tip

[@devon7584]

thank you!!! My toddler has busted a couple at the bottom of 2 sets of blinds, and I don't want to buy new ones cause he'll probably just break those, too ;)

Nice an easy love it

Thank you!!!!!!!

[@lindakoberna3465]

I rent in my late husband always bought cheap because the landlord did. But I think I'm going to upgrade just a bit.

[@Roshelt]

Will my landlord find out?

[@AlleyPicked]

Not unless he looks at every slat :-)

[@irish89055]

Started to do mine. I don't think they come out that easily

[@lindakoberna3465]

I had a heck of a time trying to slide mine out too. I think it's because my bed butts up to that window so I didn't have alot of room to move.

[@irish89055]

@@lindakoberna3465 actually, I did get mine fixed ,was easy to reach in the bathroom

[@irish89055]

@@lindakoberna3465 may I have a three bedroom house..my bedroom is the smallest one and I hate it because the beds against the wall almost to the window. it's a pain to make the bed but it's the most quiet bedroom as it faces the back of the house

[@lun4rr_]

Thank you for saving my dorm room from my cat 🫶She’s broken 4 of these off already 😭

[@yjohnson2473]

Godsend

[@shihuna]

Oh heck yes!

[@joannesullivan2281]

It must be me, 37 minutes later, I fixed 1 slat. First, I put it on backwards and then from sliding it in an out, I snapped the whole thing and had to get another one and tried again. And of course, that slat was an inch bigger than the last so I improvised. And yes, I did measured. After all that, I got the one slat on and went to bring the venetian blind up, but the tape made it stuck. So you know that one snapped off also. I got about three more to go but I think at this point I’m gonna go out and just buy a new one. I don’t know how you do it so quick but I certainly couldn’t. I did notice the venetian blinds with the strings are much stronger, cheap plastic , as opposed to the new ones with no string because by law, they don’t sell string ones anymore. Maybe your next video you can teach us how to put the tape on but then that was just another issue. I think the video is great but like I said it had to been me. Thank you again.

[@AlleyPicked]

Maybe I need to do a longer video. Sorry you didn't pick it up.

[@lindakoberna3465]

I'm dying over here because 60 seconds took me an hour to make the blinds beyond repair. It was a very clever idea though. I think my blinds are just too cheap.

[@lindakoberna3465]

They still sell blinds with strings here in NY.

[@lindakoberna3465]

Joanne, it definitely was not just. I'm off to home Depot. My bed sits close to these so when I make the bed my butt always hits them.

[@TiffanyLynn44]

Raise your hand if you're here because of a cat. 🖐

[@gwenhoang1324]

Oh wow that’s super smart!!

[@jo-eo9ld]

THANK YOU! my dickhead cats have managed to break multiple of these in the first month we’ve lived in our new place😩🤦🏻‍♀️ I only wish I’d seen this sooner lol.

[@AlleyPicked]

I have cats too -- which is how I figured this out. :-)

[@lindakoberna3465]

Well I must have the cheapest blinds in the damn world because every time I try to do this, one of the ends would break on the one I was trying to get out. I guess it's off to Home Depot I go. I tried to replace 4 blinds. now I have no bottom blinds on any of my windows lol.

[@AlleyPicked]

Maybe they are just too old and brittle. :-(

[@Aweoe]

No. You dont need to cut anything. The bottom of the blind will have two caps you can remove. You can slide the blinds off with this. I recommend everyone watch a different video.

[@AlleyPicked]

How do you get the bottom blind into the spot where one is broken at the top. I don't see how your theory works.

[@Aweoe]

​@@AlleyPickedYou remove the bottom cap, which frees the string that pulls the blind up. Then you slide out the bottom blind and the broken blind and switch them. Then, you thread the pull up string back through and tie it again at the bottom. Again, just watch any other video and you can see how its done.

[@Aweoe]

​@@AlleyPickedBy the way, this isnt a theory. I just did it yesterday.

[@caseyjamison1314]

This video just saved me $100 at a hotel lol

[@AlleyPicked]

Send me $50 :-)

[@YusufShurbaji]

Definitely not the proper method. The bottom area allows you to remove the cord. This is a good lazy solution though.

[@jacquibossier9808]

Nicely done my friend say hi to your lovely 🌹 wife!!!!

[@xianli6488]

Where buy the parts and how old are them?

[@terencegallagher4513]

Too fast. I could not follow.
