Pleated shade repair - DIY?

Anyone here attempted to do a DIY pleated shade repair? In my case the cord is broken.

Here's a repair kit for Irvine shades. Just wondering how difficult a task this might be?

Much easier to just order a whole new unit - but much pricier too!

    Restrung two of mine, a 2 string and a 4 string. Pretty easy job. What I found is that the manufacturer had the cords way too tight so I loosened up the wall anchors at the bottom and loosened up the cords a little.
