Wrap the slats with masking tape to prevent chipping. Step 3 mark and cut blinds. Make a cutting line for the measurement by using a pencil and straight edge. Use your measuring tape and measure the vertical height distance of the window opening from the where the rod will be to an inch or so above floor level.

To cut blinds start by marking a straight line on the head rail where you want to cut it using a pencil. Small cuts will result in a jagged bottom edge. Once you ve cut the head rail secure the ends of the blind slats with a rubber band and cover the ends with masking tape so they don t splinter or chip. Cut along the new edge line of the first slat using 10 inch heavy duty shears or tin snips.

Make sure that the masking tape covers the entire area you are cutting. Cut in one motion from start to finish with one cut. Then use a hacksaw or tin snips to cut the head rail along the line.
