Slide shows are pretty much a thing of the past, but don't throw away your old slides! Here are a few crafty items you can make that will give those slides a second chance to shine.

1. Slideshow Lamp Shade
Gather your vacation slides and make a lampshade depicting your favorite locale! Follow these easy directions to make your own.

2. Another Great Shade
Here's another great lampshade with a slightly different look. Use a shear ribbon instead of jump rings to attach the slides.

3. Curtain
It's a curtain. It's a display. It's both! Attach slides with chainmail rings to create this beautiful pictorial curtain that will bathe your room with colorful light.

4. Suncatchers
Group three slides together and accent with wire and beads or charms to make these sweet little suncatchers.

5. Window Ornament
Here's something that will transform a window with an ugly view: a slide window ornament that hides the view, but allows the light to come streaming in.
