The home we just bought has two very large blinds that appear to be made of paper. They are very necessary to keep out strong sun.
We want to paint the walls, and to do that we need to take down those blinds in a manner which will allow us to put them back up again. Am all too familiar with taking down blinds and never being able to get them back the way they were!
So I have attached several photos of the blinds, hardware, and the wall-mounted clips that they attach to (the thing that looks like a serious face). There are five clips per blind. They are thin metal, with a very narrow - maybe 1/16 inch - "lip" on the edge that fits into slots on the blind.
Does anyone have any magic do-it-yourself tips for removing and restoring blinds of this type?
Thanks,
Amethyst
