For Storing Things

Protect glassware or lightbulbs
A good way to safely store fine crystal glassware is to put it in an empty wine or liquor carton with partitions. You can also use it for storing lightbulbs, but be sure to sort the bulbs by wattage so that it's easy to find the right one when you need a replacement.


Make a magazine holder
Store your magazines in holders made from empty detergent boxes. Remove the top, then cut the box at an angle, from the top of one side to the bottom third of the other. Cover the holders with self-adhesive decorative paper.


Poster and artwork holder
A clean liquor carton with its dividers intact is a great place to store rolled-up posters, drawings on paper, and canvases. Just insert the items upright between the partitions.


Store Christmas ornaments
When you take down your Christmas tree, wrap each ornament in newspaper or tissue paper and store it in an empty liquor box with partitions. Each of the carton's segments can hold several of the wrapped holiday tree ornaments.

THESE ARE GREAT IDEAS, SHOE BOXES ARE GREAT TOO. USE SMALL ONES FOR YOUR SPICES IN A CABINET JUST PULL IT OUT AND THEY ARE ALL THERE FOR YOUR USE. LARGE ONES ARE GREAT FOR STORING ALL THE WIRES AND EXTRA CHARGERS FOR YOUR ELECTRONICS
