Steps (8 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    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. 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. 3

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

  4. 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. 5

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

  6. 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. 7

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

  8. 8

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