How To Install Faux Wood Venetian Blinds - DIY

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, I'll show you how easy it is to install venetian blinds by yourself! The quotes I got for installation were quite steep so I decided to take matters into my own hands and do it myself! Turned out to be easier than I thought and I've added yet another skill to my repertoire of skills - saving myself some change in the process too.
If you're like me and you're interested in installing your blinds on a budget, this video is for you! It's nothing to be scared of.
If you have further questions please drop them in the comment section and i'll be sure to respond them.
Blinds are from Blinds2Go
Thank you for watching!

    Great effort here, you’ve really made use of the extra time the ‘rona empowered us with to hone in on your DIY skills ☺️. I was worried how you casually ‘tossed’ that plastic utility knife aside with an extended blade after cutting the box straps and seeing you wearing 🧦 it’s steel blade is ubër sharp 😱. One more safety tip...cut away from your body when using those knives (if you must) 🤓
