Time to get crafty! Ideas for upcycling your Creamline packaging
Being at
home much more than usual means we’re all on the lookout for creative ideas to keep
ourselves and our families entertained.
We thought
we’d share some ideas for upcycling your Creamline packaging – fun for big and
little kids alike!
From store cupboard to chic home accessories
From cute
pencil pots to charming planters, you can easily give your old baked bean cans
a new life as chic home accessories. Jazz up your empties by decorating them
with some coloured paints or materials such as lace and ribbon – it won’t take
much to totally transform them! You can even go rustic with ‘naked’ cans or glam
up with some metallic copper paint spray. Why not create a crafty herb garden
for your kitchen windowsill? Just don’t forget to water them!
All
aboard the Best of Local-mobile
Your Best
of Local box might look like a standard cardboard box but with a little
imagination, it could soon be a family hatchback, an off-roader or even a sports
car! A few structural changes, some tin foil wheels, paper headlamps and a
fresh coat of poster paint on the bodywork and you’ll have your wheels in
motion in no time – well, sort of…
Not just
for puppies
Playing
with toilet roll tubes is not a pleasure reserved exclusively for puppies –
turning yours from functional to fun is an easy ‘crafternoon’ activity for all
the family. Get saving your tubes and you’ll just be some coloured paper, felt
tip pens and a glue stick away from transforming them into cute animals and a whole
zoo’s worth of new friends!
Remember:
always thoroughly clean and dry your packaging before you begin and be sure to
supervise little people with scissors, knives and sharp edges!
