Crafts With Wood Shutters
- Shutters can be ideal for organizing that stack of invitations, school notes or even your child's artwork. Gather two shutters of the same size and hang them in the kitchen, entryway, or office. If you want the shutters to have a more modern and sleek appearance to them you can add a fresh coat of paint. There is also the choice of leaving the shutters untouched for a more rustic look. Hang the shutters either vertical or horizontal, start organizing all those papers and have a clean area to keep you organized and up-to-date with everything.
- Wood shutters for outside decoration is a great way to recycle old shutters. Take four large shutters and add a fresh coat of paint. If you would like, you can also leave the shutters untouched to have more of a rustic appearance. Once you have painted the shutters and they are dry, hinge them together. You can place these shutters on your porch as a backdrop, to hang decorations or even to be a privacy screen for any porch window. This will add an extra touch of color to your home.
- Using shutters for inside decorations can give a new feeling to a room. You can make the shutters sleek and modern or rustic and old looking. You can attach shutters to the wall of a bedroom so they are the headboard of a bed. To do this you would need to cut two pieces of plywood 4 inches thick and the length of the shutters when put together. Attach the shutters to the plywood. By using the plywood, you are preventing several holes in your wall and you now have a new custom headboard.
- You can create one-of-a-kind furniture using old wood shutters. You can craft your own wooden shutter bookshelf. Give two large shutters a fresh coat of paint and hinge the two shutters together. Open the shutters slightly and slide plywood planks between the slats on the shutters. Fill the bookshelf with books, knick-knacks, or pictures. Place the bookshelf in the corner of a room to prevent someone from bumping it.
