I am big on recycling. I save jars, boxes, containers with high hopes of using them to create gifts and useful holders. So I dug into my closet and pulled out some of those containers. Here is what I have done so far.

These are a few of the things I pulled out. baby food jars, plastic frosting cups, glass candle jar etc |

This is a cardboard holder for gravy packets. I got it at Walmart. I know you probably think I'm crazy but I am also thrifty.
Walmart gives all their boxes away for free. You do need to make sure they are empty first. hee hee I sell book markers at craft fairs and didn't have a holder for them. When I saw this I thought it would be perfect for them. |

So would you have guessed this was a gravy packet holder? So the next time you go grocery shopping look for more than just groceries. |
|
Now I am all set for the next craft fair. |
|
I sale my book markers for $1.00 to $3.00 each. I can also do special orders or themes. |
FYI: In the ironing board area (at Walmart) they have the same style box (ironing board cover box) just a larger size. A few years back I covered it the same way, added cards, gift boxes, tissue paper and wrapping paper. It made great gift. Check back tomorrow to see what else I have done....
Be safe today with the snow.....
Wow!!! That box looked pretty beat up at first. I am so shocked with the before and after photos. Great ideas!!
