How To Make Paper Blinds Stay Up

Blinds are a great way to control the light and privacy in your home, but they can also be annoying when they bang against the window or wall in the wind. This can create a lot of noise and damage your blinds over time. So how can you stop blinds from banging and enjoy a peaceful and cozy atmosphere in your home? Here are some smart ways to stop blinds from banging in the wind.

Blinds are window coverings that can be adjusted to let in or block out light. To stop blinds from banging in the wind, you can use padding, magnets, tape, cords, clips or tension rods to secure them in place. You can also choose blinds that fit well and are made of heavier materials.

Use Padding to Silence the Blinds

One of the easiest ways to stop blinds from banging is to use padding to cushion the impact of the blinds hitting the window or wall. You can use felt, foam, sponge or any other soft material that can stick to the blinds. You can cut small pieces of padding and attach them to the edges or corners of the blinds that are most likely to bang. This way, when the blinds blow in the wind, they will make a softer noise instead of a loud clatter.

To use padding, follow these steps:

• Cut some small pieces of padding that can fit on your blinds.
• Stick them to the edges or corners of your blinds with glue or tape.
• Repeat this process for all the blinds that are banging in the wind.
• Adjust the height of your blinds as desired using clips or cords.

Use Magnets or Tape to Secure the Sides

Another way to stop blinds from banging is to use magnets or tape to secure the sides of the blinds to the window frame. This can prevent them from flapping around or falling off when there is wind or movement.

To use magnets or tape, follow these steps:

• Cut some small pieces of magnet tape or double-sided tape and stick them to the sides of your window frame.
• Align the edges of your blinds with the tape or magnets and press them firmly.
• Repeat this process for all four sides of your window frame.
• Adjust the height of your blinds as desired using clips or cords.

Use Cords or Clips to Adjust the Height

One of the simplest ways to stop blinds from banging is to use the cords or clips that come with them. These allow you to adjust the height of the blinds by gathering and folding them into pleats. You can then clip them in place or tie them with a cord to the side of the window frame.

To use cords or clips, follow these steps:

• Pull down on the left or right string to raise the top or bottom portion of your blinds. This is how you can close your blinds or open them partially.
• Pull your cord to the right so your blinds stay put. This is how you can lock or unlock your blinds by tugging either cord to
