Any ideas about how to recycle faux wood blinds? They are white and made of plastic. There must be some craft to make with them.

I’m presuming Rich means Venetian/slat blinds – of the type being currently battered next to my head as cats fight behind them ;)

So what can be done with them? With plastic ones like Rich or the soft wood ones about to cause me imminent injury?

Since I’m obsessed with weaving odd things, I think I’d been tempted to give it a go with the slats – no idea what the resulting fabric could be used for though ;)

So any thoughts?
