One job that is pretty easy to do is to replace a vane in your vertical blinds. Basically you will need the following things: cardboard, replacement vanes, utility knife or scissors and a screwdriver.

The first step in removing the vane is to open the blind and lift the vane off of the hook on the carrier or holder, bend the vane out and down in order to pull it out. If you have a spacer chain, take out the screw that is securing the end of the chain. Then you must feed the chain out of the vane you are removing. You must do this as many times as necessary in order to the vane that needs to be replaced.
To install the vane, you must orient the vane’s curve in the same direction that the other vanes are in. Grasp the vane near its top and push it up gently into the holder and then down in order to lock it into place

There are several different parts for repairing vertical blinds. One of the first ones is a vertical blind control mechanism. They come for both notched and unnotched head rails. Another repair part is a vertical fabric insert button. It is a clear plastic button that secures the fabric onto the groover or channel slats. The vertical vane fabric hanger is used for replacing broken plastic inserts that you will find sewn into the top of the vanes for fabric vertical blinds.

This keeps the vanes from curling up.  There are many types and styles of vertical vane chains and clips that are available. It just depends upon how many vanes you have in your vertical blind. Last but not least there are cord weights and tensioners.
