[center]What technique or method would be the best to join the string on faux blinds to extend it ?I already have the extra . Is there a crimp used or maybe a way to sew them together ? I can knot it but would rather not .The squarestring parts that hold the blinds in is also where I will attatch but I can use small wire an maybe some epoxy at 2 corners at those squares since they only turn an dont go thru any holes ... {these are some big 40 inch by 55 an $150 to replace both so I'd rather extend them 5 inches for a few bucks since I have extra off other blinds.] i might find something at a hobby store too but wanted some ideas . thanks .[/center]

guys - I'm doing an automated blinds project and know where to get the motorized parts, etc but just realized most common websites are very expensive for the size I need (104x86). Have any of you just bought raw material and made your actual blinds? Or do you suggest any other website for lower costs - is aliexpress wortha try? I'm hoping to be under $200 for this size solar shades with 5% transparency in beige Thank you
