What to use to cut vinyl blinds.

Cut along the new edge line of the first slat using 10 inch heavy duty shears or tin snips. Transfer the measurement of your window opening onto one of the vertical blinds. Lay them on the saw and line up the blade where you need to cut. Then use a hacksaw or tin snips to cut the head rail along the line.

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. Using a clamp or rubber bands secure the slats together into position. Make sure that the masking tape covers the entire area you are cutting. Wrap the slats with masking tape to prevent chipping.

Small cuts will result in a jagged bottom edge. To cut blinds start by marking a straight line on the head rail where you want to cut it using a pencil. Make a cutting line for the measurement by using a pencil and straight edge.
