What can be made from a shoe box: functional ideas

You can create a lot of interesting and useful things from a shoe box – from decorative items to useful accessories. This type of handmade will allow you to show your imagination, give a second life to old things and create unique items with your own hands. We at Joy-pup will present useful ideas on how to use shoeboxes to create beautiful and useful crafts.

Casket

Use a shoe box as the base for a jewelry box. Cover it with pretty paper, fabric or stickers and attach a divider with compartments. You can stuff the inside with velvet or other pieces of fabric. Add rhinestones, fringes or ribbons to create a unique piece. A handmade jewelry box will attract attention.

Organizer

You can divide the box into sections and use it to store small items such as jewelry, cosmetics, stationery, children’s school supplies, or small craft items.

Shelf

Put a few boxes together, decorate them, and use them as a small shelf to store books or decorative items. Hang the box on your hallway wall and use it to store your mail, keys, eyeglasses, or other small items so they’re always close at hand.

For sewing materials

This idea will look great in your workshop or sewing corner. The shoe box transforms into an organizer for threads, ribbons or fabrics. Simply drill holes in the side of the box and thread ribbons and string between them. This way you save time looking for a certain color among the clutter.

Dollhouse

A shoe box can also serve as a base for a small dollhouse. Paste it on the outside with wallpaper cuts and create a small apartment inside with miniature furniture. Here your children can realize their creativity and play for hours. For boys, you can create a large garage out of a shoe box so that the baby can store his fleet in it. Make markings for cars, add walls, decorations and paint it in bright colors.

Cosmetic organizer

Divide the box into compartments of different sizes and store beauty products, brushes or accessories in it.

For chargers

Are chargers, headphones and USB cables tangled up in your drawer? Turn any shoebox into a phone charger organizer. Make dividers in the box for convenient, separate storage of gadgets.

Gift wrap

The shoe box can also be used to wrap a small gift. Paint the box the color you want and decorate it with pretty ribbons, stickers or bows. Looks great and saves money on expensive packaging.
