How To Cut Mini Blinds To Width Quick & Easy!

Sometimes the mini blinds are too wide to fit the window. This is when you need to know how to cut mini blinds to width. It's not as hard as you might think. I was at Lowes one day and asked the "associate" to cut these blinds for me and he said that you couldn't trim the basic mini blinds! So I told him that would be alright. I went back to the jobsite, measured my opening one last time, taped each end of the blind tightly and used my miter saw to cut on the mark I made after measuring the blind to length! These mini blinds that needed cut to width were Project Source mini blinds from Lowes. They were just a little to wide to fit the window opening. One tip I would give you is to completely tape the ends. Then make your mark on the tape before cutting the mini blind to width. This will help keep all those little pieces from going everywhere after you cut the mini blind. One more tip about cutting your mini blind to width is after you cut the blind, take a sanding block and round over the ends to match the opposite side. Do this before removing the tape. Also, as mentioned in this video, if your mini blind needs cut more than a 1/4", it's a good idea to cut equal amounts off each end. This will help the mini blind to look balanced and not lopsided. You can cut a mini blind with a miter saw like I did in this video or use a hacksaw or even a handsaw! No special blade is needed. Just make sure the ends are taped tightly. If using a miter saw to cut your blind to width, just make sure the saw has reached its top RPM before cutting. And cut slow or else you run the risk of chipping the edges.  For more information about this and other subjects, visit my blog at https://bluecollardiy.com Be sure to tune in to the Blue Collar Entrepreneurs Podcast.
