What projects can I make using upcycled plastic window shutters?
I have 8 full size plastic window shutters I removed from my house YEARS ago. I have been saving them in the shed because "someday I'll make something out of them". I say that far too often... that's why we are 'decluttering' the shed right nowI don't know if I want to go to the 'make it useful side' or to the 'make it a fun project/decoration side'. Any ideas?
