Bird Perch
Lets create shelves with panache using birch logs as support. Trim sturdy branches into equal lengths and keep the cuts straight. Paint 24-inch long 1×6 boards in whatever the colour you desire. Attach one board to the bottom of the branches with wood screws and attach the second board to the top of the branches with the wood screws. Hang the shelves with picture hanging hooks driven into the walls studs.
Welcome Mat
Cut 1×2 medium-density fiberboard (MDF) into fifteen 24-inch long pieces. Spray-paint the pieces with exterior spray paint and let them dry. Cut matching stripes of fabric that would match the measurements of the fiberboard and paste them on the slates with a spry adhesive. Drill holes through each plant 1 inch away from both ends and as well as the center. Thread a small rod through the drill holes and secure the ends with a screw.
Custom Window Shades
