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?

Hello there Cindy,
Why not hinge them together and make a screen for use in the home or outside as decor!
I have seen people make a headboard out of shutters. Here are a couple cool ones on Hometalk:

Fasten four together in a square and add a top...plant stand. Add them to interior windows and add pretty curtain. Farm/cottage style, use small eyelet curtain on a string rather than curtain rod or make rod using a branch.
