Most of us go through at least one egg carton a week. But we don’t think twice before tossing them out into the garbage once they are empty. But you might want to think twice next time you’re about to throw one out. These containers can be upcycled and be pretty handy around your home.
Here are 15 uses for old egg cartons:
1) Sort Baby Socks
Baby socks are adorable but tiny and can get lost or separated from their twin sock pretty easily. Try placing a pair in each slot of an egg carton to keep them together.
2) Snack Tray
You can use an egg carton as a snack tray for your kids to prevent them from spilling their snacks all over the place.
3) Laptop Stand
Use egg cartons to boost up your laptop.
4) Ribbon Sorter
Egg cartons can be used as a nifty ribbon sorter. Just poke a few holes in them.
5) Nail Polish Sorter
Place your nail polishes inside of an egg carton to prevent spillage from making a mess.
6) Paint Tray
Pour paints into an egg carton to make a mess-free and disposable paint tray.
7) Jewelry Organizer
Keep your jewelry organized, especially the little pieces that can get lost, by placing items inside of an egg carton.
8) Refrigerator Organization
Place an empty egg carton inside your refrigerator and use it to sort items like mustard bottles to prevent them from leaking into your fridge.
9) Sewing Kit
You can turn an egg carton in a sweet sewing kit.
10) Ornament Storage
Store Christmas ornaments in an egg carton so they don’t break.
11) Office Supplies Organizer
