i love this idea! while we were on vacation, my dad’s girlfriend’s 2 year old son kept on asking me if he could have my purse so i would let him hold it and the only way to get him to give it back was to tell him that when we got home i would give him his very own purse! i usually just gave him a grocery bag and he would be entertained but this is brilliant!

I cut them up and use as postcards for my competitions. I also purchased a rubber stamp that looks like a postcard so stamp the cards and they look great

You can turn them into postcards!
My sister last summer challenged me to think of an eco-post card.

So I used the beer box cardboard from the local corsican beer that we were buying!

Place them around the plants instead of black paper, then cover with mulch.

no need to scrunch up for the compost bin, put your veg peelings in box & place straight in bin. I have also used them as luggage labels.

I get my business cards printed on old cereal boxes, and as a prop stylist working on mostly food shows it is perfect! You can check out the guy who makes them at http://www.usbcards.net We are also planning on making “save the date” postcards out of them for our wedding, using stickers with address.

Some primary schools, playgroups, etc. collect cardboard boxes and tubes for creative 'Blue Peter' moments.

Cut a diagonal peice from the side and use to store magazines. Cut into rectangles and use as bookmarks. (Decorate for a nice gift for bookworms.)

If you have a home compost bin, card is a good addition (ripped and scrunched). Check out composting websites that advise this. Other ways are local recycling centres that accept card?

Some cereal boxes have Box-Tops on them, which are basically like $0.10-$0.30 coupons that you can donate to schools who have that program running. Check the tops of the boxes for Box-Tops, cut them out, and give them to schools that run that program.
