Cardboard Boxes Turned into Treasure
We throw away too many things that are not only still usable, but also beautiful. Why we throw them away? The answer is simple – because very often we don't know what to do with them. You don't need money in order to have beautiful house. Well, maybe you need some, but it all comes down to your imagination.

Step 1
So you just moved homes and you ended up with numerous carton boxes wondering what to do?

In order to decorate your carton boxes you can use virtually everything. Nowadays the only thing that is highly regarded is how unique your idea is, not how much money you spend realizing it.

You can paint on them, or glue glitter, cut them in different shapes and sizes. Anything goes really!
Step 2
In order to make the most out of your cardboards you need them in good condition and intact. Use a pencil to mark the the area that will be cut. Plan your shapes and sizes and and only afterwards do all the cutting.
Step 3
Use a craft knife to cut through the cardboard and decorate or paint.
