Repurposed Food Boxes
Lately, we have been getting creative with empty food boxes. Here are some of our ideas (sorry I don’t have pictures of them all)….
-
Satchel – See the photo to understand how to cut the box. Fold the new top to make a lid and add holes and ribbon/string to make the strap. Your child may enjoy painting and decorating his/her new satchel. This would make a fun satchel for collecting pieces of nature when outdoors taking a walk or having a nature hunt. -
Train Tunnel – Cut off the top of the box and set it upside down. Cut out the train’s entrance and exit openings from two opposite sides of the box.
- Drawer organizers – Cut off the entire top half (or more) of the box to create a drawer organizing box. I like to wrap the outside of mine in paper and then cover the inside and outside in shipping tape to make it look more attractive and last longer.
- Painting paper – Open the ends of the box, cut it open to lay flat, and enjoy painting on it.
You are amazingly creative. This is too cute!
Anyway, I tagged you on my latest post! (in bloggin' lingo, I answered a bunch of questions and passed them on to you 🙂 Hope you have time to/want to do it!
Great ideas!! I love the satchel!!
