Using the wooden blades from your wooden window blinds you can make a stylish rack for small items e.g. spice bottles, sachets,etc

Cut Wooden Blades

Decide the length of the rack you require and cut 3 blades of wood for the small single rack and 6 blades for the two tier rack. Sand the cut ends so they are smooth and beveled, this will help you when assembling the rack.

3D Printed End Brackets

Now to make the end brackets for the wooden blades to fit into. You will need a CAD program, like TinkerCAD to create the end brackets. Next to have these printed, either use your printer or a 3Dhubs printer near you.

If you have blind blades that are 3mm thick x 51mm wide then you can use my design (unmodified) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:785877 or adapt it to your blade size.

The wooden blades will slot into the voids on the brackets. (This will take some force to insert them fully)

You now have a very nice fusion of plastic and wood creation that reused discarded wood product and costs very little to produce.
