25 WAYS TO REPURPOSE OLD BLINDS

Although some folks have tried to use the slats as 'shiplap' keep in mind that if neither the slats and/or your wall is level, it may be difficult to attach the slats to the wall so that they stay in place without popping out.
Hi! I have seen them used on a backsplash and as a decorative element on stair risers. Any craft you can do with strips of wood, you can do with the slats. I would probably use them to make open boxes for a table centerpiece. Good luck!
I have seen the wall idea, here's a Hometalk DIY that shows you the look. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/rooms/repurposed-wooden-blind-11685255
I've also seen them used for backsplashes and stair risers, however, as pointed out above, if the wall or the blinds aren't straight, you might have an issue. I've also seen them used to create rustic lampshades, picture frames and intact, as privacy barriers in covered porch areas.
