Im having trouble picturing them. What are the measurements? What are they made of?
Hi Marva, are they fabric or wood? If wood, you could use them on a wall to create a wood wall or for signs.
Hello. Are your slats vinyl wood or plastic? More information might be helpful. I once use plastic slats for garden markers.

Probably vinyl, yes? I’ve seen people lay them up like lap siding as a backsplash. They used a construction adhesive like Liquid Nails, which dries yellow, so avoid using too much or find a mastic that dries clear.
Hi Marva. You could recycle your slats and use them to make a shiplap wall. In your bedroom as a feature wall or in your kitchen as a back splash. Good luck Marva.

If you decide to put them on the wall for a lap siding look you can use loctite power grab for adhesive. You will probably need to hold in place with painter's tape until it sets.
Donate them? Maybe put them up on FB marketplace for free?
