Default Repurposed: washing powder box + wrapping paper = ?

I had lots of loose clippings of recipies and this small magazine file is a really handy way to keep them. Just cut off the top of the box, covered with some old photocopies then wrapping paper, put a label on it and presto... Now I just have to make more for my magazines too :)

Thanks, that's so clever. Will start saving the boxes now and it's a great use for the left over wallpaper.

What a clever idea. It would be lovely to cover these in decoupage in whatever your going to store in them too. i.e. pics of finished dishes for recipes etc.. Must try this out.

It's lovely Paprika, well done. What a great idea for recycling boxes and old wrapping paper. I must try this myself, it would be great storage for loose recipes cut from magazines.

Edit- Sorry just realised you said that already re: recipes!

I did this last night with my daughters but we used plain brown wrapping paper and they painted it today. Excellent repurposing! Thank you for sharing.
