Blind Clips :]

What a hot day!! Holy cow!! Did summer come really fast for anyone else? I think I missed spring, but I'm not sure. Anywho, since it is so hot and I'm a poor college student I'm saving power by not turning on my AC. That means the windows are open and I have our fan going. You know the problem with windows? Well there isn't one to windows, unless they don't have blinds. : / A friend of mine always said she felt like she was in a fish bowl when her window was open and the blinds were up. I'm starting to see what she means. It's like it's an invitation for people to peak in and say "Hi". Um, No Thank You! So, my blinds are down, thus keeping the sun out and making it cooler with the breeze. Since I live in Idaho, frankly it could be this way anywhere you go, it's rather windy. So windy that my blinds are blowing in the wind and slamming back on the window. It's really loud and very annoying! Being alone and bored I decided to do something about it and make my craft for today. I know it doesn't look like the best thing on the block, but it is something I threw together and works wonders! Yes, it is out of Popsicle sticks and hot glue, but super simple! With my husbands new saw I cut the wood the size I needed (scissors were splitting the wood :[ ) and glued it together like a square. Notice only one side on top is glued, the other is left open for an easy slip around the bottom of the blinds. I used double sided tape to attach it in place but I would assume you could use sticky tack or some other adhesive. I don't know if anyone else needed this idea or help but I sure did!
