Ever have so many boxes from Amazon or other online orders that you have no idea what to do with them? Here are three thing you can turn your old Amazon box into and give it a new job!

Closet Storage

I’ve used boxes in the past to organize my closet. All you need to do it cut off the four flaps of the box, grab a cute wrapping paper or paint. Design the box how you want and then slide it right into your closet! I really like doing this for clothes that don’t wrinkle easy and for off season clothes, like sweaters to minimize the amount of space they take up.

Beauty Organizers

If you want to go on the cheaper end and not buy a plastic beauty organizer, grab a few Amazon boxes, varying in size. Take the boxes and decorate how you wish after cutting the box flaps off. Then, take the biggest of the bunch and begin placing the smaller boxes inside, how ever you want. You can also use the flaps you cut off to divide off sections if you only want to use one box. 

Planter

This is a common one, but use your left over boxes as planters! Decorate your box as you would and fill the box with your soil of choice! This is great if you’re just starting out and want to see if you can actually keep plants alive before getting better stuff!

These are just some of the ways you can re-purpose the boxes you have! There are so many different ways to use left over shipping materials, you just have to experiment!
