Thanks for sharing.
The juice boxes are neat. Can use them for homemade soap molds, too.
The smaller boxes can be made into iPod casesor mini purses.

i also want to add about the shoeboxes mine I covered w/ colored newspapers and magazines.. I also use the boxes of tetrapacks juices and paste colored leaflets given at the mall or whatever paper that considered waste..
I am also fond of compiling and organizing receipts, what I used is the boxes of fresh milk (e.g. magnolia) i cleaned it and dry cut both ends, flatten it and presto I have an improvised silver folder..

Just wanted to add that shoe boxes can look great–just cover them with some fabric you have on hand and glue. Voila! A nice looking storage container. I’m not crafty at all and can easily do that.
