Description: A broken vertical blind can be annoying and...

Steps:

1. Remove the broken hanging blind slat from the holding piece at the top of the blind.
2. In this case, it was clear the slat was broken because there was tape needed to hold it on.

3. Use scissors and cut the end of the slat just beneath the hole so it looks neater and a new hole can be made beneath it.

4. Use a ruler and pencil and mark halfway in between the two long sides.
5. In this case, the mark was made at 1.75 inches from each side.

6. Use the ruler and pencil again, and go along the center line, down about 3/8 inch and put a dot.
7. In this particular case, about 3/8 inches works best however it could vary depending on the blinds.

8. Use the hole puncher and make a hole through the dot you just made on the blind slat.

9. Replace the hanging slat back into the holding piece on the blinds.
10. Be careful in this step once again so as to not break the plastic piece or the newly fixed blind slat once again.
