    I found this from Emily:

    Basically, she just covered an old diaper box that would've been trash otherwise with some Fabric. All she needed was some scissors and a glue gun to secure it. Easy enough, right? Now it cut out some waste and prevented the need to buy a tub.

    That looks really good, Jessi, and it's a nice size as well. My husband collects ice cream tubs and the plastic tubs that come filled with washing tablets, and he uses them for storing tools and screws in his workshop. We eat the ice cream, and our neighbour passes in the washing tablet tubs, so it's recycling stuff, as well as free storage.

    Good idea, I use cereal boxes to hold magazines instead of purchasing magazine holders for my desk. We eat the cereal and use the boxes to hold stuff in the junk drawer, similar to the silverware tray.

    I used to do that all the time when my kids were in diapers. I think I had like 10 diaper boxes lying around with toys or books and other stuff. You might as well used them while they last.
