Take precautions to avoid inadvertently damaging the blinds.
-
Shut the blinds to ensure that the cords are at maximum length.
-
Untie the knot at the end of the tassels. Slide the tassels off the cords.
-
Determine a comfortable length for the cords. They must be long enough to hold without you having to stretch to reach them. Cut the cords at a point that is about 1 inch longer than the desired length.
-
Thread the tassels back onto the cord. Tie about three knots with the extra 1 inch of cord under each tassel.
