I use IKEA covered storage boxes to organize my clothes in my chest of drawers. They come with these great folding lids, but I can’t use them and I hate to just throw them away. Any suggestions?
Turn them upside down and use for under bed storage.
Use them as file cabinets, Christmas storage, or put your seasonal shoes in them, or gloves, scarfs, and hats.
turn them into "trays" by covering them with craft paper or fabric. You can cut holes/slots into the sides for handles or buy inexpensive handles and glue them onto the sides.
Hi Joan, you could make shadow boxes out of them, useing acetate, for the front of the lids. You could decorate, or paint the rims, and place a photo or print insde, then hang them up, to make a photo gallery. You could paint the insides with black chalk paint, to make mini chalk boards. Make them into mini shelves. Turn the lids over, cut the front rim off all the lids, (leave the back rims on) Use cardboard rolls, left over from used glad rap, foil, backing paper, cut the ends off if necessary, so there is nun hanging over, stick one on each side, to all the underside of the lids, you may like to paint the lids here, to pritty them up? Stack them up to use as mimi shelves for craft paper, bills ect. It might be good to glue the lids on op of each other, to make them more secure, and stop them topling over. Hope this gives you enought idears. Enjoy your repurposed shoe box lids. Kay Adelaide Australia
