Can I cut my own mini blinds at home?

[LaraMN]

I forgot to have them trim them an inch shorter at the store (which is out-of-town.)

I tried to cut them with a saw, then with a knife. I'm bleeding, but the bllinds are still largely intact.

How can I cut these bastards?

5. just the head rail or the actual slats? Head rail for sure you can do.

slats--not so much.

6. scissors? one by one?

7. If you want them an inch shorter, all you do is remove the extra ones at the bottom?

But if you are sawing them, I guess you meant that you wanted them an inch smaller in width.
