6 Creative Ways to Reuse Cardboard Boxes
Whether you are a business or an individual, you probably have a few cardboard boxes lying around.
You could store and organise some of them, but most of them will probably end up in the bin.
In fact, there are plenty of inventive and practical ways to reuse cardboard boxes at home or in the workplace!
1. Planters
Cardboard can be reused to make DIY planters, and plastic bags can be reused too!
Simply line your cardboard box with a plastic bag and make several holes in the bottom to allow drainage.
Add your soil and start planting!
You can also adorn the outside of the box with embellishments and bring a touch of greenery to your office or home.
2. Coasters
There's no need to use boring brown cardboard boxes.
Make coasters to match branded beverage boxes!
Coasters are one of those things that everyone needs but doesn't necessarily justify buying.
Use the Corona carriers from your office parties to make coasters and make the next office party easy to clean up.
3. Cable Holder
Keep your small cables tidy on your desk by using a shoebox-sized cardboard box.
Make one opening on one side of the box to insert an extension cord.
Make a few smaller holes on the opposite side of the box and push any small cables through them so you can easily grab them.
Alternatively, if you have a couple of spare toilet roll tubes, stand them up in the box and use the slots to prevent cables from tangling when storing them.
4. Furniture sliders
Are you someone who regularly rearranges the layout of their house simply because they want to?
Try making furniture sliders out of scrap cardboard boxes so you can easily move your desk at work or your entire living room around!
The glossy surface slides easily over various types of flooring and also doubles up as an effective edge protector during movement.
5. Stationery
Make rustic stationery items to help keep your desk tidy.
Cut diagonally into cardboard boxes to create easy storage for magazines, paperwork, pens and pencils.
6. Drawer dividers
Use spare cardboard to organise pens, hard drives or undergarments.
Measure your drawer interior and decide where you want to place things.
Cut strips to the correct lengths, widths and heights, then simply slide them into the drawer to stop your things getting mixed up.
These six ideas on how to reuse cardboard are just some of the ways you can make your space more interesting!
Other businesses could even incorporate reusable features into their packaging designs to encourage reuse.
