      Have too many diaper boxes? Re-purpose them into these useful items

      Craft Corner- Repurposing diaper boxes
      By: Lindsay Poppen

      If you have a little one in diapers, you know how quickly diaper boxes can add up in the house. So why not re-purpose them into something else?

      Here are a few ideas:

      Shoe Cubby

      DIY shoe cubby - Made out of a diaper box a few extra scraps of cardboard. You'll need the diaper box lid pieces. Tape the two long pieces together to form the middle shelf that goes the depth of the box. Stand the two short flaps up to create dividers. Then use those as templates to make at least two more. I used 2 yards of fabric on sale at Hobby Lobby spray adhesive.

      Playhouse Kitchen

      Decorative Storage Box

      Covered Diaper Box Tutorial by Mandy's Krafty Exploits: I did it. I have tons and tons of Pampers boxes so I lined them in mint green and made a circus liner. Much cheaper than buying a basket for all those toys!
