Store out-of-season wreaths in pizza boxes
Cover a pizza box with black-and-white-checked Con-Tact paper, and use it to store the kids' artwork. Label the outside of each box with the child's name and grade level to keep the boxes organized by year
Cover laundry-detergent boxes with Con-Tact paper or fabric, and store magazines or note paper in them. Use Velcro® or a button with elastic thread wrapped around it for the closure
Plastic-Bag Dispenser
Carol Duvall, host of HGTV's The Carol Duvall Show, designed a plastic-bag dispenser from a cracker box. Here's how she describes it and how she made it.
"I guess it's a good thing that I switched my letters and the like to the basket, since the monkey has apparently moved into the shoebox. I don't know what corner of my brain today's idea came from, but I thought it might work for some of you: a cracker box for dispensing those plastic bags from the grocery store. These boxes worked for me for quite a while, until the bags began to get ahead of me! I think they're like hangers, in that they multiply when they're left alone."
Materials:
Cracker, cookie or cereal box
Scissors
Magic Cover® or heavy-duty Con-Tact® adhesive-backed paper
Empty the box, and remove any waxed-paper lining.
Cut a half circle or a bit more in the bottom of the box, and let it come up on the back side just a bit
Put a piece of sturdy cardboard across the front of the box for reinforcement, then cover everything with adhesive-backed paper such as Magic Cover or heavy-duty Con-Tact paper. Cut out a matching hole in the bottom
Nail to the back of a door or another convenient, out-of-the-way place.
Push plastic bags in at the top, and remove them as you need them, one at a time, through the bottom hole
