How do you restring window blinds?
TaDa asked:
We’re in a rental house that came with blinds. The dog broke the string on one side of one. These blinds look like their slats are wood. Thanks.

It can be done but it can be a B–ch !

Check out another blind. Usually it goes over the pulley at the top and through the slats, coming up on the outside to the top again and out to the side leaving the strings to pull up and down etc. I’ve done it, get tweezers, a good light and keep the dog away while doing it. If it’s too much of a hassle, I doubt the blinds are wood in a rental, you may be able to replace fairly inexpensively. Most of the “wood” look blinds are actually a heavy plastic. Once again, the best directions would be to take another blind down and look closely at it.

I wouldn’t even bother restringing it. I’d level with the landlord and tell him the dog broke the blind. Depending on what type of individual, he might just say, “Oh, I was planning on replacing that some day soon anyway, and offer to buy another one for you. If, thats not such a good idea, take it into someone to do it for you, it’s not too expensive.
