I've started saving cereal boxes and other food packaging to turn into organizer boxes for my overflowing stash of paper scraps. I often see these made with some other material glued to the outside, or spray painted (neither of which I want to bother with). Since I like the gray of the paper board, I've been simply taking them apart, making the cuts I want, and gluing them back together inside out. How-to:
From Martha Stewart
From Craft Therapy
From Urban Nest
From Casa Sugar
More things to do with paperboard food packaging:
Mailer
Journal
Box with a window
Basket with handle
Gift Bag
Mobile
Stick Puppets
Fantastic! What a simple idea, I just had an Of course! (slaps head) moment - I love those :)
ReplyDeleteI try to reuse as much as possible. I made jewelry out of an old cardstock calender and love to make origami flowers out of magazines:
