Upcycle This: Takeout Containers
by
BrightNest
If you need some organization help, but aren't feeling super motivated right this instant, here's a solution: take-out containers!
That's right, the same boxes that bring you chicken lo-mein can be cleaned and repurposed for organization. Plus, it's always a good idea to reuse and recycle around the house – both for your wallet and the environment. Here are four ways to give different take-out containers a second life:
1) Styrofoam. The next time you get a Styrofoam container from your carry out order, turn it into a stamp! With a chopstick or pen, you can draw (by carefully pushing into the foam) a design on the lid of a Styrofoam box. Because the material is so malleable, it will push through to the other side and make an instant stamp! Check out this step-by-step tutorial from Kleas to make your own Styrofoam stamps.
