We recently saw some abandoned broken venitian blinds...i was convinced that the only good place for them was the skip....my partner thriftily felt they should be useful for something....what imaginative and wonderful thing might they be reused for....they won't work as blinds...even my partner will admit that!

what about tying them to the front of your car and using them like a semaphore light. you could drive to the sea and if any ships were coming dangerously close to rocks you could signal DANGER or something like that.

Cut pieces in the shape of a skyline (mostly rectangular, tall and narrow but with different heights and rooflines). Sand some of them down to give texture and leave others smooth. Spray them with silver paint. Place them on a piece of matboard painted a deep blue. Take some more pieces. paint them silver and bend them over the edges of the matboard to make a frame. You will have a beautiful skyline picture and could probably make some money selling them too!

Buy some large canvases already framed, and separate the individual blinds. Using your hands, pliers, whatever, grab a few and twist and bend them. Staple them onto the canvas for some original 3-D art! You can even then spray paint them to match any decor..

Try hanging them to hold up ivy. Like in a garden. Or the ropes out of those make great G.I. Joe rope ladders.

an interesting top for a coffee table, a homemade safety/dog stopping gate, maybe a nice traditional wooden bath mat. lots of diy picture frames

maybe you could cut them into pic. frames - i am afraid they will probably end up collecting dust in your attic but koodos for trying
