Lightweight Recycling Bin

It may look like a metal box, but this Lightweight Recycling Bin is actually just reused cardboard itself! This is a great recycled craft that looks a lot nicer in the office than blue plastic bins. You can learn how to turn cardboard into "metal" with this easy craft, and then decorate more boxes for organizing. The best part about this project is that it encourages recycling. You'll be using an old cardboard box to hold papers for future reuse. There's nothing nicer than making crafts that save the planet.
