Recycle the boxes

What are you going to do with your empty tissue box? Throw it away?
For me, I'll keep it so that I can make those boxes useful again.
Look at what those tissue boxes can do in this picture, they are my mini storages to keep my stuff neat and organized.

I usually use 3 boxes to combine to become one new box with three segments.

These boxes look sweet, aren't they?

Look at the boxes from the top, you can see how I made it. I used double sided tape to tape the bottom, and stapler to form different compartments. Notice that I use the outer layer of another box to make the compartments so that they have the same length and height.

To make the box more sturdy to hold books or heavier stuff, you can make one box without compartment (like the second box from the picture) and slot another one inside it (the first box) so that it will look similar to the third box.

Even my shoe boxes are useful too. Hee^^...Let's go for recycle everyone.

so cool.... why don't you use some design papers like wrapping paper to wrap it around. it will definitely look much better :)

To jerine:

I tried before, but the wrapping papers easily get scratches that way. That's why I still prefer to make the boxes as simple as possible. ^^
