According to Yarnzombie; To create these great slide curtains all you need is a dremel or power drill, and a little hardware.

Drill holes in all four corners of each slide.  Then connect them all together with chainmail rings.

Each panel is made up of 114 slides.  They’re connected on top by rings with clip on shower curtain rings.  They’re really easy to open and close, and provide privacy and look really neat at the same time.

If you have some slides left over you can make this great little lamp.

Start by taping little pieces of paper to one side of the slide and then taping the slides together to make panels – 4 panels of 2 slides by 3 slides, and 1 panel of 2 by 2 slides.

Then get some square 1/4″ dowel rods and cut them into 4 lengths of 6 1/4″ and 8 lengths of 3 1/2″.   Glue them onto the edges of the slide panels, leaving 1/4″ hanging off of the bottom for feet.

Travis happens to make very cool lamps using old glass insulators, thrifted power supplies, and LEDs.  He made one the other day with two LED bulbs in it.  (Here’s a link to one of Travis’ posts about making the LED lamps:  http://yarnzombie.net/Travis/?p=146 )

The little Kodachrome lamp shell was just big enough to sit on top of it!
