Must be my windowsills

I have a new house. It was built 6 months ago. I ordered these as a cheap way to get blinds in my house until I can afford fancier ones. I took out these suction cups, cut them to the size I wanted and boom. All hanged. Went to sleep. Woken up in the middle of the night by my english bulldog barking. Growling, barking, snorting, drooling, etc. This also pissed off my German Shepherd Malamute mix. So I was certain that either someone was trying to break into my new home, or I had somehow already let my new home be taken over. Anyway, I jumped out of bed and ran to my living room with a gun and underwear. It only took me 2 seconds to understand why they were mad. All the blinds fell down. All of them. And I didn't want to take the paper blinds off. So I was upset, left them there and went back to sleep. The next morning I sealed them again. I used a lot of force when I first inserted them. This time I used EXTRA power. After 45 minutes, everyone dismounted with an interval of exactly 2 minutes. These blinds are literally just paper. They use clamps to hold them. When you clamp them, the edges of the blinds fall down where the clamps hold them. So it looks weird. In addition, wherever you cut the blinds, they will definitely wrinkle. That means you won't want to leave them out later. You look great. If desired, they can be fixed on the windowsill. Just don't plan on adjusting them too often if you really want to go that route. But for me I threw them away. from dust. I let them dry before hanging the blinds. That's too much weight for glue. Spring. you live and learn.
