I've bought some standard run of the mill blinds from "Ponden Homes

obviously something which gives a nice clean cut.


Depends on what type of blinds, on the wild assumption that they are
Venetian blinds, you can get slat cutters ...

If they are rollers ( fabric) you can get things with a round blade
that is used for cutting fabric ..Dressmakers suppliers sell them
...Try jaycotts .
They are like the ones you get for trimming wallpaper
