Disposable Window Shades for Crafting

I save all kinds of stuff that just might be a useful crafting

supply for me and my grands. I had several short ends that

I had cut from the lightweight disposable window shades that you

can purchase from the home improvement stores.

When I had my grandsons just before Father's Day and they

wanted to do a craft project I finally came up with a fun use

for those shady pieces of scraps!

The boys each wrote long messages to their dads 

by writing one letter per pleat with blanks between the words.

Once they were done we hot glued the two ends

to some hand cut outs.

We tied them up with a bow.

And, their daddy was treated to three

very long and very loving handmade

Father' Day messages!

The outside pieces could be any design for any occasion.

Watch yard sales and the thrift stores for

used disposable blinds. You can score a ton

of your own durable accordion crafting supplies for next to nothing.

You can cut them to the length and width of your choice.

Just think of the possibilities!
