If you tend to buy cans of soda or can easily get your hands on those 12-pack boxes, here are some simple yet helpful ways that you can make use of them. Take a look:

1. Mail Holder: simply cut the box in half, wrap with decorative paper or fabric, then use it to store mail. You can either keep it on a table or hide push pins mid-way down the holder and attach it to a wall.
2. Spice Box: cut the top off of a box, wrap with decorative paper or fabric if you wish, then store spices in your box. When you need to grab a spice from the cabinet, just reach for the box where they are conveniently located.
3. Snack Holder: when you’ve got stray bags of snacks cluttering up your cabinets or pantry, just cut the top off of a soda can box and store snacks there for easy access and organization.
4. Under-Desk Trash Can: just cut the top off of one of these and store under your desk to use as a trash can. No plastic bag required!
5. Soup Can Storage: try this tip from Then She Made and create an easy system for storage and rotating through cans of soup in your pantry.
