Введение
This guide provides steps that you should follow in order to replace a broken window blind slat.
Since they are a common type of shade, small window blinds are commonly made of cheap plastic that can easily be damaged. A damaged or broken slat can limit the functions of the window blind, preventing you from opening and closing it, or raising and lowering it.
To ensure that this guide is suitable for your problem, verify that the slats of your window blind are not made of a very thick plastic. This is because steps 2 and 4 of this guide require the use of 8-inch Westcott scissors, which are not ideal for cutting through thick plastic.
Before beginning this guide, make sure that the room or area you are in is well lit.

Adjust the angle of the blinds until every slat is flat or laying horizontally using the blind's wand.
-
-
-
Carefully remove the damaged slat by cutting the slant halfway across its width, at the point where it is connected to the rest of the blind, with a pair of 8-inch 'Westcott' scissors.
-
Remove the damaged slat from the blind after it has been cut on both sides.
-
-
-
Choose an un-cracked slat from a part of the blind that is unaffected during normal use - preferably from the very bottom of the blind.
-
-
-
-
Carefully cut the selected slat halfway across its width, at its two connected points.
-
Carefully remove the replacement slat from its old position, making sure to not extend the cut you made past halfway of the slats width.
-
-
-
Carefully place the replacement slat it into its new position.
-
Connect the replacement slat to the support strings at the points where the cuts were made.
-
-
-
Tear off a small piece of invisible tape from the roll of tape and carefully place it over the cuts that were made on the replacement slat.
-
Apply tape over the top and bottom of the cuts, on both sides of the replacement slat.
-
-
-
Twist the wand of the window blind to test it after applying the tape to both sides of the replacement slat.
-
If the replacement slat stays in its new position then congratulations, you have completed the fix!
