A hack

I found myself looking in the soap section in our bathroom today and found one of the fancy soap boxes nearing to finish. The box is well made, strong and has a look about it. It looks like it has cost more to make the actual box and packaging than the soaps. More conspicuous consumption for our fancy bathroom maybe?

I put out the last soap in the box and opted to throw the box away but alas! I thought of reusing the box came to mind instead.

Instead of destroying it by hacking into, I decided to add to it instead and to continue using it as a box/ container of some sort. I found 30cm of fancy Indian ribbon that was laying around spare. With my creative mind in place and my earlier blog on Christmas, I thought of using the wasted ribbon to turn the box into a gift box or to even be used my sister at home for her girly bits.

The ribbon disguises the writing on both, top and bottom of the box. It looks brilliant. The best thing is, it's cost absolutely nothing and has made use of rubbish at home.
