Don’t throw out any old video cases, they are ideal for recycling into secret boxes:
With the plastic cover left on, pretty paper or card inserted you can change whatever else you show. In Kirsten’s room she has a quote I found for her, a small wordart I made and a photo of my granddaughter. At any time she can swap for other photos or whatever. Inside, I’m sure she’ll find something to hide, such as chocolate!
This is one I made for valentine. Inside are 14 red cards with a range of sayings, quotes and word arts. This was an ideal gift for someone. The sides can be covered too…
I do recommend a stronger adhesive than double sided tape though. I ended up using my glue gun {it was not going to beat me!}

you have so many great ideas

This brings back memories .... I did this when my kids were smaller (about 15 years ago), these were their very first "memory boxes". I also had my own for storing important stuff so that little hands didnt get hold of them. One kept the passports safe, another for birth certificates etc. Those wee boxes are certainly very versatile and handy.
Josie, what a great idea, using them for important documents, I'll have to try that one....well soon as i find my passport anyways!! lol xx
Such a great idea, I have always wondered what to do with my video boxes... And now you have given me some good ideas, thank you so much for sharing your ideas on this really great and helpful blog.
