While recycling is king for reducing your boxes, you’ve got a bunch of other ways that you can reuse them. There’s a ton of different things that you can actually make from corrugated cardboard, and it's great for the personal use of this, and it’s also less expensive, especially if you’re turning it into something that you’d normally buy.
Plus, if you’re creative and have a good imagination, you can use cardboard for virtually anything that's out there.
Stationery
Homemade stationery is a nice way to really contribute to making something catch your eye.
Thank-you notes, or even little messages to others offer a good, rustic feeling to this. You can also use cardboard and paper for different sessions involving brainstorming, and you can even label these for the recycling bins that are in the garage.
Composting
Composting is actually a wonderful way to use practically any sorts of boxes.
This is great for gardens, and earthworms absolutely love this, since it offers them a great way to feed the soil. If you have a green thumb and are good at planting crops and different flowers, this could be the answer that you’re looking for.
Wall Art
If you’re looking to make a new and unique decoration for your next party, look no further than cardboard.
This can be used for different messages for parties, and there are different ways to cut out the cardboard, lining this with different sequins and the like, offering a homemade, professional décor that really works for you.
Pet beds!
Need a bed for your furry little friend? Consider actually making one out of cardboard. The cool thing about this, is that corrugated material is strong. If you’ve got a cat or small dog, they’ll love it! It also gives them a good, comfy place for them to sit down and take a nap.
While it does involve a little bit of creativity especially if you’re someone who wants to make this specifically for their furry little friend, it’ll definitely be worth it when the little guy goes and lays down to sleep.
Cat Toys
Cats are super easy to please, and let’s face it, they probably are already playing with the first things that they can find in this. This is basically a great way to get cats interacting with you, and it can be made in a variety of ways. From scratching posts or even whack a mole games with this style, this is one that’s super fun.
Plus, cats won’t mess this up. They’re strong, but the material is much stronger, so you don’t have to worry about them tearing it up with their claws. Plus, it’s strong enough and a much cheaper option especially when you’re getting lots of different toys for cats to use.
Drawer Dividing
Finally, we’ve got drawer dividers. If you’re someone who has a lot of little supplies and needs something that they can actually organize and store, then this is for you. You can actually make as many or as few as you need to fit everything that's in there. Plus, whether you’re buying this for the office, or for the home, it’s simple for you to use.
This can be a wonderful item, and if you feel like you want to give your drawers something new and fun, then this is it. Using cardboard for different activities is something that’s fun, and it can be way less wasteful than tossing it. Consider all of these if you’re not sure what to do, and you’ll find that they work wonders too!
