Whether you\u2019re a business or an individual, chances are you have a few cardboard boxes laying around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may use some of them for storage and organization, but for the most part, they probably end up in the recycling bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are actually plenty of creative and useful ways to reuse cardboard boxes at home or at your office! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Planters<\/li><\/ol><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    DIY planters are a great way to not only reuse cardboard but plastic bags too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Simply line your cardboard box with a plastic bag and poke a few drainage holes into the bottom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Add your soil and plant away! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Decorate your planter with some embellishments to the exterior of the box and add a little greenery to your office or home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Coasters<\/li><\/ol><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      You aren\u2019t limited to reusing boring brown cardboard boxes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Use branded beverage boxes to create matching coasters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


      Coasters are one of those things that everyone needs, but not everyone justifies buying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Use the Corona carriers from your office parties and create coasters for an easy clean-up at the next one. <\/p>\n\n\n

      1. Cable Holder<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/h2>\n\n\n

        Keep small cables on your desk organized by simply grabbing any shoebox-sized cardboard box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Cut 1  slot along 1 side of the box to feed an extension cord into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Cut several smaller slots along the next side of the box and feed any small cables through for easy grabbing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Alternatively, if you have a few extra cardboard toilet paper rolls laying around, fit them vertically into the box and use the slots to keep cables from tangling when stored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Furniture Sliders<\/li><\/ol><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Are you the kind of person who frequently just changes the layout of their homes because they feel like it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Try using scrap cardboard boxes to create furniture sliders to easily move your desk around at the office or your entire living room! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The smooth surface easily slides across a range of floor types and doubles as a great edge protector when moving.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Stationary<\/li><\/ol><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Create rustic stationary pieces to create stationary to help keep you desk organized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Cut cardboard boxes diagonally across the sides to easily store magazines, paperwork or pens, and pencils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. Drawer Dividers<\/li><\/ol><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Keep pens and hard drives or undergarments organized using some spare cardboard.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Measure the interior of your drawer and get a sense of what you want to fit where. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Cut out strips to the lengths, widths, and heights previously measured and simply slide them into the drawer to keep all your belongings from getting mixed up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
