Today, it is very convenient to shop online. But what do you do with all the leftover (剩余的) cardboard boxes? Here're some ideas for reusing them.
Bird feeders
Use a pair of scissors to cut out a square or circle in front of a cardboard box. Put some bird food inside of it. Make a hole on each side of the box. Run a string (绳子) through these two holes and hang the box from a tree. The birds will be excited about the free meal!
Plastic bag holders
Put some plastic bags into a pile (叠). Then place the pile in a cardboard box. Cut a hole in the box so you can pull out one bag at a time when you need it.
Weed (杂草) killers
Are you tired of pulling weeds in your yard? Place pieces of cardboard in areas where weeds grow. Then add some sand on top to cover these pieces. Cardboard can help prevent weeds from growing.
Artworks
You can use the boxes to make your own easels (画架), or even wall art. Cardboard can also be turned into beautiful party decorations. The possibilities are endless!
