How to recycle cat food boxes II


Hello! In the last weeks I didn't have enough time that's why I haven't post anything, but I'm back!
This is another project you could do to recycle dry cat food boxes:

Materials:
  • Cat food boxes
  • Acrylic paint
  • Brushes
  • Glue gun
  • Hot glue sticks
  • Cutter
  • Sealer
  • Old net tights

Step 1: Take the boxes and cut the top.



Step 2: Put the boxes on top of each other and glue the edges only with hot glue. Be careful! You have to hold them well together, you could use a ribbon around so it is tight and doesn't move while gluing it.




Step 3: Paint the boxes with acrylic paint, the color of your choice. Mine as always BLACK!  ^.^
Let it dry, apply the sealer and let it dry a few minutes more.


 Step 4: Take those old net tights out of your closet, (I'm sure you all have, hehehe) break them if they are not broken enough. Put some hot glue on the corners of the box or wherever you like and add the net. You only need a little amount of glue for this.


And that's it!! I use mine to store craft papers, you could use it for magazines, letters, recipes...
It's cheap, good for the environment and entertaining!
