{DIY} How to Recycle Cardboard Boxes into Pretty Storage Boxes with Labels.


This post was originally published in The 22 of November 2013, so very long ago, but today it is still quite popular. Maybe some of you find this of interest. I'm using boxes of diapers for children, they are quite strong. still boxes stand in my kitchen. I like this post, because writing this was a challenge for me and I think that this post can be very useful for you.

If you need to get organized your house, here's an easy recycling DIY project using cardboard boxes. You can take any box, make it beautiful. Here's what I did...

We will need

  • boxes
  • vinyl
  • scissors
  • glue
You can save a lot of time, instead of vinyl, you can use the stamps.

 Now you can make your life a little more organized and pretty.
This is a very a simple project, I hope you like it.

How To Make A Toilet Paper Roll Train


My kid love trains, if your kids love too,or just love crafts it's a great activity for theirs. they will have a lot of fun creating this toilet paper roll train.


What will we need?

  • Toilet Paper Roll Tubes
  • Craft Paint
  • Yarn
  • Hole Punch or Something to Make a Hole in the Cardboard Tube
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Scissors
  • Tape 



How to Make a Train

  1. Paint your cardboard tubes various bright colors. Cut shapes out of one of the tubes to create both the top of the engine and caboose.
  2. Cut as many wheels as you need.
  3. Punch small holes of each tube. These are your attachment points for the yarn. Next cut the yarn to length.
  4. Combine all carriages and start playing.



This train is made up of recycled materials, which makes it an inexpensive craft idea. In addition, my son loves doing this.

PAINTED BOTTLES DIY

Sometimes there are days when I have little time, and I have a huge need for doing something creative. This is the project that satisfied me for a moment. PROJECT IN JUST 20 MINUTES.

I use the lovely bottles of French beer. I don't spend a penny because beers I drank a long time ago (bottles were so cute that I didn't threw all;-)). Permanent markers and ribbon are always at my house, so it was easy. I like recycling projects.

cat, bottles
And this is our cat, who visited more than one person there. She comes from the Polish mountains. She lived with us from our studies, so she knows all about student parties and exams;-). She survived our move to Holland and then to Scotland, which she again returned to the mountains. There is so many years with us {exactly 14 years}, that she has become a part of our lives. Who would have thought that our son will be playing with her.
