I have roman blinds where the little clasps at the back have come off.

Question

I have roman blinds especially made for the house. They all match. But the material clasps at the back have broken (they've actually rotted as they are around 12 years old). I used bi carb and detergent to remove the mold which worked better than the mold killer for fabric.  But I can't work out how roman blinds work.

If I sew round plastic clips instead of fabric will that work. Do I need to put the string back into the clips before I sewing them on. The strings are still there. Is there a step by step guide on putting Roman Blinds together and how they work? They are fairly big blinds as my windows are much wider and longer than normal windows. HELP. They only half open and close at the moment so I have to keep them down most of the time.

Let me try to explain! Lay the blinds down in front of you with the back facing up. You start with the side which is the most distant from the side on which you want to run the cord. Knot the string to the bottom ring and run it up the blind to the top. This string will go into the last 'hole' on your wooden batten on the window. You then do the same on the next one, until you reach the final one. Obviously, the longest string will be the first one you put in, and this string will run across all the 'holes' on the top batten. Hope this helps! Here is a link: http://www.housetohome.co.uk/articles/how-to-make-a-roman-blind-craft-idea_265048.html

Thank you so much for explaining to me it so I could understand easily, I really appreciate it.

Use cable ties to secure the rings through the rods. Replace strings.

A cable tie or tie-wrap, also known as a hose tie, or zip tie,[1] is a type of fastener, for holding items together, primarily electric cables or wires. Because of their low cost and ease of use, tie-wraps are ubiquitous, finding use in a wide range of other applications. Stainless steel versions, either naked or coated with a rugged plastic, cater for exterior applications and hazardous environments
