Spring Cleaning Ideas: Another Use for Shoe Boxes
To add to my post about drawer organizers….I heard this weekend from a friend that she puts empty shoe boxes in her drawers to help keep them organized. Great idea! Here are some other uses for your old shoe boxes that are taking up much needed room in your closet:
- Paint your shoe boxes the color of your choosing, or use wrapping paper and use them as gift boxes. You can get creative and they will appreciate the effort!
- Store your precious photos: This sort of seems old school considering the majority of us store our pictures on discs and memory sticks now, but its a cute idea for those old photos you want to keep available to show family members’ friends for a good laugh.
- Store your greeting cards for the year: Having a wide variety of greeting cards handy so you don’t have to run to the store for every occasion is great! Usually when you can buy them in bulk you will save money as well.
- Create a masterpiece: You can get creative and make something yourself or have the kids use their imagination.
- Make a gift ribbon dispenser: Check out directions on how to do this here. It’s an awesome way to keep the ribbon from tangling.
