Thinking Outside of the Box: 17 Clever Ways to Repurpose a Box

Home and garden information hub, Hometalk, recently invited me to curate a board of repurposed box ideas for their newsletters. Challenge accepted! I personally love seeing the clever ways that people recycle items and am excited to share a few of my favorites with you today.

I couldn't even believe that some of these were at one time plain' ol cardboard!

These people really thought outside of the box. 

Haha! Get it?

Oh, I crack myself up.

Boxes cut into picture frames, seriously, why didn't I think of this? Genius!

Looks like expensive "Pottery Barn" baskets, doesn't it?

Seriously, this cigar box turned beautiful marbeled jewelry box BLOWS me away!

Create cute gift tags out of cereal boxes.

Makes me want to run out and buy some Lucky Charms now!

STUNNING French-inspired crates.

I would love to attempt to create some farmhouse styled boxes like this!

Socks blown away yet? Which one is your favorite?
Let me know in the comments below or come chat with me over on Facebook or Instagram.

Make sure to check out the rest of the board over at Hometalk and get ready to be inspired!

Upcycled Project: Washi Tape Organizer

A few weeks ago I was a thriften when I spotted this coffee mug tree holder for $2 buckaroos.

Right away I knew it would be the perfect way to organize

my rolls of washi tape that I've been collecting.

 

But I didn't want to be a Boring Betty {apologies to any "Bettys" out there} and just paint the wooden

tree holder, slap on my rolls of tape, and leave it at that.

No, no I had BIG dreams for this lil' guy I just didn't know what they were.

Then I remembered how much I always drool over the stamping projects that Jaime of the

Crafty, Scrappy, Happy blog always does.

See examples here, here, and here.

Salivating aren't you?

Double bonus was that I just recently purchased a set of stamps

from Pick Your Plum that I hadn't had a chance to use yet so I busted those bad boys out!

 

 

 

Within a few minutes I had a new inspirational and

functional little organizer for my pretty rolls of tape.

 

 

 

Live, love, laugh, & create.........................
