3 or 4 wraps of duct tape ought to do it.

Man, the only things better than coagulated cream are deep fried cheese curds and bacon.

I'm in the market for some new blinds and I see some nice top-down bottom-up ones on the Bed Bath and Beyond website. I need 36.5" width. 
 
Price for the 36" width: $75
Price for the 36.5" width: $130
 
What sane person isn't going to find that price structure infuriating beyond belief. Bed Bath and Beyond Belief. There. 




Dude ... that's perfect!
 
That's World of Warcraft economy! It used to be called Reaganomics, but that term is long gone. It will soon be called Trumpthattrombone economics, I'm sure!

Is that the actual size of blind you need or is that the actual width of the window?
As a former blind man, I know that the sizes listed on most stock blinds are the window size and the blind in the box is cut to fit that window. So if the box reads 35X64, the width of the blind will be ~34 3/8.
Check if that's the case with these blinds and then see if they have a stock 37" blind, which will be about 36 3/8, if that's the blind size you need and not the window's width.
