Repurposing gift boxes is an excellent way to upcycle and reduce waste, giving these charming containers a second life. Instead of discarding them, consider transforming them into stylish storage solutions for your home. Use smaller boxes to organise office supplies, craft materials, or sewing kits. Larger boxes can be ideal for storing toiletries in the bathroom, keeping everything tidy and accessible. To personalise the boxes, you can decorate them with paint, fabric, or wallpaper remnants, adding a unique touch to your space. This not only helps the environment by reducing waste, but also sparks creativity and resourcefulness, setting a positive and mindful tone for the year ahead!

Ingredients

You will need:


  • paint, fabric, wrapping paper or wallpaper remnants for decoration
