Upcycle Those Clothing Gift Boxes Into Ornament Storage
For the thrifty and frugal and for anyone who wants to use instead of toss all those clothing gift boxes you received at Christmas, check this out.
This is not for the eyes of those who are expecting pretty. This is purely a functional post and pretty can be made but I did not want to spend the time.
I use what I can. I upcycle and recycle. At this stage in my life I am all about the use and not so much the beauty. Besides, storage is unseen and I am not willing to spend the time to make something I am not going to see every day pretty for pretty's sake.
I love to re-use gift boxes and other boxes for holding keepsakes, décor, and ornaments. It is practical and money saving too. I also have one box with wrapped glass ornaments in a shirt box as well.
These boxes hold my children's handmade creations and my own keepsake ornaments from my childhood. I keep them in a plastic tote that was once sold as an organizer tote. All you need to do is find a box at your local store that will fit the stacked gift boxes and either leave plain or decorate with leftover wrapping paper.
There is no limit to creating storage.
Creating. Inspiring. Gardening without the rules!

Empty boxes. You can make them pretty or you can leave them alone.
Duct tape and cereal box cut into strips- easy dividers
I set in the ornaments and made each opening to fit different sizes.
This is another box I had done. I wrapped some ornaments in tissue and stacked the ornaments too. No wasted space
