Repurposing Infant Milk Formula Boxes

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. It happens that my baby’s milk is Enfamil. Another disclaimer, I do not encourage milk formula feedings, it is just that my baby had difficulty latching even after 2 months of trying causing my milk ducts to dry out.

Babies consume lots of milk including my baby and the empty cartons lie around the house. It is piled and does nothing but accumulate dust. It adds to all my cleaning. So this has prompted me to repurpose these to organizers.

I usually buy a lot of 1.8 kg of milk since I can save much more and they come in a relatively good size carton. I figure, it can store books and toys and even files. Here are the following steps:

Materials

milk boxes

scissors

cutter

glue

glue applicator

wall paper/fabric/specialty paper

Remove the top cover of the milk carton using a cutter and ruler. Cut cleanly and evenly.

Using a ruler, measure 2.5 cm on the top of the box from the back going to front of each side of the box. And measure about 6 cm from the base going up on each side of the box also. Then connect the end points to make a diagonal line.

If your box seems a little bit on the thinner side you may want the extra flaps and cuttings of the box to strengthen it. And then cover with the desired cloth or specialty paper including the interior and exterior of the box, use glue and sponge applicator. Apply evenly and smoothen with a towel.

I am using one of the box as a storage for our wedding remembrances and it looked beautiful. I encourage you DIY mothers out there to make it also. Enjoy :)
