Crafting with your old cardboard

With cardboard you can make so much more than packaging or moving boxes and we are more than happy to prove that. Cardboard is also perfect for crafting. Every day we throw cardboard in the waste paper without mercy. A shame, because you can make the nicest creations with it! In this blog you will find 3 tips to give your old cardboard a new life.

Tip 1: Dollhouse

Have you bought a ( cardboard) dollhouse and are you planning to throw the packaging away with the waste paper? Save yourself a trip to the recycling bin because you can make super cute cardboard dolls or furniture for the house! You can paint the dolls completely to your own taste! For example, draw classmates or family members!

Toilet rolls

Toilet rolls are also far too valuable to just throw away. Maybe you know the octopuses that are made from old toilet rolls. Very nice and quite creative! Don't know them yet? Check them out here !

But of course there is much more you can do with those cardboard rolls. For example, make mini planters as shown below. Or make bird food by spreading peanut butter on the roll and then rolling it through seeds.

Shoe box

Of course, it is always handy to keep cardboard boxes! Who knows, you may have to send a package soon or you are still looking for something to store things in. In addition, old shoe boxes are also perfect for making viewing boxes. Use different materials and colors to make the viewing box come to life. By putting crepe paper on the top, beautiful light shines in in that color.

Are you a bit more active? Then you can make a mini foosball table! Make holes in the sides and put sticks through them. Use clothespins as figures and cut holes in the box to make the goals.
