Step 1: Find the brackets on the headrail of your blinds

The first step is to find the brackets on the headrail of your blinds. They are usually located on the ends or in the center of the headrail. The headrail is the metal or plastic bar that holds your blinds together and attaches them to the wall or the window frame.

If you have slide-on brackets, you can use your fingers or a pair of pliers to slide them open. You can grip the bracket with your fingers or pliers and pull it sideways until it slides off the headrail.
