Remaking regular mini blind to other style of blind
I saw a post about taking out slats to shorten blinds to fit the window frame. I really like the top down bottom up blinds. Can I make a difference with regular mini blinds???

    No! Regular mini blinds are made to go up and down from the bottom only. No way to reconfigure them to work any other way.

    William, Thanks for the feed back. I am disappointed. Sandy

    I don't know if it will work, but why not remove the top slats - leaving the bottom ones alone? Just reverse the instructions for removing them from the bottom? You'd have to leave the 2 longer outside threads alone and they'd be visible, but curtains would cover that? Just a thought.

    Wow! Thanks, I hate to throw away perfectly good blinds and don't want to pay to replace them. I do want the top part of the window open to let the sunshine in. Thank you for thoughts on this idea. Sandy
