What can I do with left over blind slats? Any suggestions?
Phurface Want’s to know:
I 'the VE has removed the excess number of the blind slats of wood, faux to match the length of my windows. I don 't want to just put in waste. The 'thought of VE of birdhouses purchasing and using premade the battens do something like the ring of vinyl go on them. Anyone else has suggestions of what I could use it for? The answers only meet series.

I used mine as mosaic peices on top of an old wood coffee table. Looked awesome.

Here’s an idea, if you have a flower bed. Use the slats to make a small bridge as decoration. Two slats could be used as the curved section of an arch style bridge. The other slats could be the boards across the bridge. OR you could make a covered bridge. Be creative with it like maybe use a large stainless steel bowl as a pond. Dig a hole just deep enough for the bowl to sit in. Fill it with water using a little big of blue dye. Find some small smooth stones to put around the ”pond” and then put your bridge over the pond. To continue the same theme just make a path through your flower bed with brown gravel like people use in fish tanks. Maybe you could use Popsicle sticks as posts and a piece of one slat to make a sign. For example a sign by the bridge that might say ”Roscoe’s Pond.” As far as flowers go that would be up to you but I would use small evergreens that you could keep cut low so people can see the pathway and the bridge.

The birdhouses would be cute. Or why not cut them and mitre the ends and make some frames - frame some of your favorite photos or paint some little canvases to frame. May as well put them to good use!
OHHHH - I love that little bridge idea! How cute.
