Use the butter box creatively. Cover it up with recycled gift wrap and use bows and ribbons saved from gifts received in the past to decorate. This will make a beautiful gift box.
More about Cardboard Boxes
Everyday we throw away several card-board boxes of various sizes and shapes.
Try saving them and coming up with interesting ideas.
Some of the ideas, I have to begin working on are- Robot, cars and toy trains with several wagons.
Each wagon an interesting item for the desk. For example, pen stands, CD holders, paper organisers, and paper clip holders.
Train Engine Pen Stand
Use a butter box to make interesting shapes like an engine, robot, vehicles, etc.
I have used fabric from used Halloween costumes and the chimneys are empty medicine bottles.
