So being a new mom, I've discovered that my home now has an endless supply of diaper boxes and I didn't want to just toss them all. When I saw some pretty floral duct tape in a reduced bin at the store, I knew it was project time!
Like many projects recycling diaper boxes, this one only requires a few materials:
- 2 colours of duct tape (I actually found a fun green masking tape, so my project today has 2 rolls of duct tape + 1 roll of masking tape)
- diaper box(es)
- utility knife
- scissors
So first of all, take your empty diaper box and cut off the flaps with your utility knife. Also cut off the flaps that are inside the handle cut-outs. (Watch your fingers!)
Next, cover the entire outside of your box in duct tape. I started with covering the underside and then putting strips around starting at the bottom, working toward the top. (In my case I used plain grey tape here and then covered it again with masking tape to achieve my desired colour)
take a pair of scissors and clip the tape at the handle openings to fold to the inside.
To "top it off", simply use your second colour of duct tape for the top edge.
All done!
Wipes boxes would alsi be handy for smaller items or shallow shelves.
