In any home there is always a couple of unnecessary boxes from under old shoes. You can take them to the trash, or you can put a little imagination and create something beautiful and useful!
Instruction manual
1
An empty shoe box can be used to store many things: toys (it is especially convenient to store the designer), medicines, sewing supplies, old letters and postcards, and by laying the bottom of the box with cloth, you can store underwear in it, thus creating an additional section in the box.

An elegant gift wrap can be made from a shoe box. The most common box decoration technique is decoupage. But you can simply glue it with colored paper, put a gift inside and tie it with a wide ribbon with a magnificent bow!

A shoe box can be turned into a fabulous box for needlework or jewelry. You can even make not a box, but a basket with a handle instead of a lid. Sheathing with fabric, lace, beads, patch pockets and dividing into sections - at the will of the needlewoman!

By combining several identical boxes together, you can make a decorative rack for trifles and souvenirs (the main photo of the article).

A shoe box can be a limitless source of imagination for children. This is an old castle, and a cozy house for little babies, and doll furniture (beds, wardrobes, even cars), and toy household appliances (TV, stove, microwave, etc.). From such a box you can make an excellent mailbox!

From a shoe box, you can make a bird feeder, as well as arrange a temporary housing for a kitten, puppy, rodent, tortoise and other pets.
