   As you go through your everyday life, start holding on to fruit boxes, chocolate boxes and any heavy-duty plastic packaging. I'm a bit of a hoarder so this is easy for me!

2. 

   

   You can use small plastic boxes, with tight closing lids to hold small bits and pieces, such as paper-clips and other stationery.

3. 

   

   Cheap plastic fruit boxes, that don't have lids, and come in various sizes work well as drawer organizers.

4. 

   

   If you want to store finer materials, such as silk threads, ribbons and embellishments delicately, take a large plastic box, with a lid, and a square of belt.
   
   Trace around the bottom of the box in chalk on to the felt.

5. 

   

   Cut out the felt and then use a glue gun to stick it to the bottom of the box.

6. 

   

   If you're boxes are going to be kept out on display, you can spruce them up by glue-gunning a ribbon around the outside. (I used a ribbon from a chocolate box).

7. 

   

   These will help to keep your shelves and counters super organized.

8. 

   

   Voila! So many ways to reuse and recycle box packaging.

This is a great way to reuse old boxes people would normally discard. I use ice cream tubs and coleslaw tubs lol

I was just looking at my unorganized stuff thinking I need to come up with something. Apparently the answer was in my face (my recycle bin actually)all the time! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! :)
