Project 1: Ramen Noodle Box?

Repurposing Boxes

This is not an original idea, to say the least.

Quite frankly, waay back in 1993 & 1994, I had no money that I could use towards fluff furnishings. But a nice sized box, and a can of spray paint made nice bedside tables (so long as nothing too heavy was placed on them).

Nowadays, Duck Tape brand duct tape has a fantastic variety of colors & patterned tapes for infinite uses. Sometimes, you just come across a box of perfect shape or size that fits a use other going to the land fill.

For instance, tonight, a Maruchan ramen noodle box struck me as being a perfect start to getting our "crap room" in order.

The sides were held together via some type glue. I simply "broke down" the box. Applied gold Duck Tape to the ends.

My sister's favorite color is purple (and I like it as well) so I covered the sides with a bright purple Duck Tape.

Used standard hot glue to refasten the ends. And Voila! A nice box to house self-laminating sheets, see-thru paper protectors for 3-ring binders, and medium sized, padded shipping envelopes.
