What would you create with these woven wood shades?

Orchidmg on Nov 25, 2014You could attach yarn or string or hemp in diagonal criss cross and use it as a frame for multiple photos for a family room, above a couch or fireplace or in a long hallway. Or if you are a painter, paint a scenery leaving a 2 inch edge free of the shade to be the border/frame. Or decorate it for Halloween to be used on the outside door. Attach your decorations to the shade and fold or roll up the shade to store it for the next year.Helpful Reply

Sandy on Nov 26, 2014Maybe make place mats by cutting to size and hot glue gun the loose strings to under side. You could also make a table runner to match (depending on the number of blinds and sizes you have.)Helpful Reply

Katrina Wylie on Nov 26, 2014This might be what @Tudyrunningwater is referring to. Use cheap picture frames and frame pieces of the shade inside them and attach to your wall. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/303993043570027431/ Or if you have a short hall, use the whole width to do you wainscotting. Attach molding above the length and viola...custom wainscotting!Helpful Reply

Carolynm on Nov 26, 2014I would cut them into sizes for place mats. Use FROG tape to bind the edges. I was given samples years ago and did this for a Cub Scout project. The Moms really liked them because you can roll them up to store them.Helpful Reply

Z on Nov 26, 2014Didn't take time to read past the first comment, but thought I'd add how I've cut wood blinds before. Roll them up tightly, mask off the area to be cut and use a miter/chop saw. Smooth cut every time. To cut to length you can cut the threads between the slats.Helpful Reply

Busymomhelp on Nov 27, 2014These look just perfect for a lamp. You can easily make a foundation for these out of wire fence and place a lamp inside. You can make both hanging or standing lamps out of it. Something like on my last pin here http://www.pinterest.com/busymomhelp/for-the-home/Helpful Reply

Kathy Allen on Nov 29, 2014I used one by turning it sideways, clipping curtain rings across the top, and mounting it with a tension rod over a half-windowed kitchen door. Kind of a beachy look.Helpful Reply
