Repurposing a shoe shine box

Question

I am looking for ideas for uses for an old shoe shine box.

Make a good place to hide jewelry or sterling silver place settings!

It would be great if you could post a photo of what your shoe shine box looks like. I know my Dad has an old military shoe shine kit that's made of wood and opens from the top.

Some kind of paint and/or decoupage........use the shoe stand as a handle........stick your remotes in it......or........same thing, but use it as a charging station. Again, paint to suit........put cup hooks inside......voila..........key hooks.........or........you could just shine your shoes :)

I just inherited my grandfathers shoe shine box. I am going to refinish it in an anique blue color and leave the top open and plant a Golden Pothos in it. Now what to do with all the contents of it.

Denise · Answer

If it has compartments, it can be used to store tools in the shed, hold garden tools on your recycled pallet garden workbench, or use as a decorarive planter!
