Tips & Warnings
If you can see the ends of the valance clips when the blinds are on the wall, take the valance down and snap the ends of the clip off with your hand. Put the blinds back up.
If your valance has a two-place adjustable valance clip, install the blinds this way. Push the valance slide in the notches in the back of the valance. Rotate it 90 degrees until you feel it lock into place. The wider end of the slide should be pointed upward. Connect the valance slide to the clips and line them up.
