patriotic packaging

Morrision's currently have their salad leaves being delieved in union jack cardboard crates and they are letting you help yourself to the crates. So I grabbed 5! I don't want to spend money to pack my things in brown boxes for the move and then have no use for them on the other side. I have no attic to hide ugly things away. Therefor these are perfect for packing plates, cups, books, and bits bobs. 
And once I've unpacked I will use them in my 'studio' to store all my craft things stack up against a wall.
  
10 things to do with a...
Cardboard crate
  1. Tidying up an attic, shed or spare room.
  2. Making play ships or racing cars for toddlers, just add a pole and a pillow case or cardboard wheels. 
  3. Storing toys and games in a kids room.
  4. Taking items to a carboot.
  5. Under-the-bed pull out storage. 
  6. Fill it with jam jar drinks, sandwiches,  cakes, crisps, dips, cover with a tea towel and you have a hamper to take to your favorite park or street party.
  7. Turn it upside down and use them as occasional tables.
  8. Fill with an old blanket and use as a pet bed.
  9. Use it in a greenhouse as a planting organiser, for little seedlings.
  10. Reinforce it, fix or lean against a wall and use as a CD/book rack or display for quirky collectibles.
