X2. All you need as well as how to videos.

You can buy a kit on Amazon

Go on eBay and search for window blind cord. Keep in mind it comes in different diameters. You need to find someone with a micrometer to be sure you get the right 'thickness' to match your blinds.

Shade restring kits

Go to Lowes, look in the tool section. Look for the braided string used for carpenter's plumb bobs. Some are now made of nylon, some are still made of cotton. Work great. I re-threaded a blind few years ago with this. I still have about a thousand yards of the string left! I only used about 5 feet of it!

When I need to do it I use braided Dacron fishing line, #20 test. I have also heard of others that have used spider wire fishing line.

Go to any sewing supply store or fabric store such as Minnisota Fabrics or JoAnn Fabrics. They have cording that is perfect for the blinds. Take a small sample of what you presently have so you can purchase the same size or slightly larger like we did. We have replaced almost all of the strings on our day/night shades in our 12 year old trailer.
It is quite easy once you do the first one. :)
