I use to do that for my nieces and nephews when they were over and this was before we had kids so we didn't have many toys at our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577876 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:59:37 +0000 Mrsbells 2577876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: hahaha ofcourse! now you have to pick shoes that come in cute boxes so you dont need to line them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577875 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:53:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 2577875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Cheap depending on how you look at it....HAHA jk....maybe I will have to pitch this to DH to try and tlak him into letting me buy more shoes hahahahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577874 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:51:32 +0000 Mrsbells 2577874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: absolutely!

It helps so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577794 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:20:53 +0000 LindsayLou 2577794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them to keep organized. I keep fabric, yarn, and other craft supplies in them. One box for stationary, one for random printed photos I haven't done anything with, one for ribbon, one for paper crafting (hole punches, stickers, etc), one for paint supplies. I'll use them for keeping small sets of toys together as my kiddo gets older and no longer tries to eat cardboard boxes. I already use larger boot boxes to store toys she hasn't grown into yet and cloth diapers that we aren't using right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577783 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:17:17 +0000 MrsBrewer 2577783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I LOVE this idea!!! What do you line your boxes with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577781 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:17:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 2577781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut off one side, or a space out of one side wall and then line/cover them in fleece or flannel and give them to the local animal shelters. They are great for tiny kittens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577758 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:04:40 +0000 Mrsbells 2577758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Canoli: I use them to organize my drawers sort of like this picture </p> [attach=1326/16/o9jovs.236x354.f0d58ddc15736ca2c7129c40da8f3eaf.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577752 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:00:19 +0000 looch 2577752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I save a couple for my son's school, they use them to make mailboxes and dioramas.</p> <p>I also have made a size sorter, my son loved that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577707 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 12:23:13 +0000 Tanjowen 2577707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them for Christmas gift wrapping rather than buying boxes; holding random paint/art supplies; I have one in my closet that holds all the extra buttons that come with my clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577699 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 12:12:07 +0000 avivoca 2577699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use mine to sort fabric scraps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-reusing-shoe-boxes#post-2577696 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 12:11:25 +0000 Canoli 2577696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have just done a major purge of my closet and have tons of shoe boxes that I don't know what to do with. Other than just putting them in the recycling bin I thought I would ask everyone what they do with theirs or what clever ideas others have. </p>
