I did it with IKEA ones years ago, worked a treat. I used the exact method you suggest. Note though that I think the Ikea blinds were specifically designed to be cut down (though whether that meant anything in practice I don't know). I thought they were good blinds but they discontinued them a few years ago, I assume because people were too scared / lazy to cut them.
A friend measured the width of their windows and bought blinds to fill the width, without thinking about fixings, assuming the window and reveals were all perfectly straight/true/plumb/whatever. Anyone tried cutting down a blind? Any tips? Was planning on breaking out the tape, clamps and mitre saw:
