Must be my window sills
I have a brand new house. Had it built 6 months ago. Ordered these as a cheap way to get blinds in my house until I can afford some fancier ones. Got these suckers out, cut them to size just how I wanted them, and boom. Hung them all up. Went to sleep.... Woke up in the middle of the night to my English Bulldog barking his nuts off. Growling, barking, snorting, slobbering, etc. This also got my German Shepherd/Malamute mixed dog freaking out also. So I was certain I either had someone trying to break into my new house, or somehow I let my new house already get possessed. Either way, I sprung outta bed and ran out to my living room with just a gun and my underwear. Took me but 2 seconds to realize why they freaked out. All of the blinds had fallen to the ground. Every single one of them. And I wasn't about to go shooting some paper blinds. So I was frustrated and left them there and went back to sleep. The following morning I stuck them all back up. I used a lot of force the first time around when sticking them up. This time I made sure to apply an EXTRA amount of force. 45 minutes later, they all came down, like exactly 2 minutes apart from each other. These blinds are literally just paper. You use clips to hold them up. When you clip them, the edges of the blinds fan downwards where as the location of the clips holds them up. So it looks weird. Also wherever you clip them, will definitely wrinkle the blinds. Meaning you won't want to lower them later. They look fine. You can thumb tack them to your window sill if you want to. Just don't plan on adjusting them too often if you actually want to go this route. But as for me I threw them away. And just to clarify, I washed the top of my window sill just to be sure I got all of the dust out. I let them dry before I hung up my blinds. It's just too much weight for the adhesive. Oh well. You live and you learn.
