Are you someone
who prefers to save the earth and environment as much as possible? Are you an
active recycler and don’t mind using repurposed materials for your daily
projects?
If you are, we
wish you a Happy Earth Day. Every day is an earth day right! The more you do
for planet Earth, better it will be for us and generations to come. Only by
recycling the right materials and reusing or repurposing old thrown away ones,
we can contribute a lot. We are changing the state of our Earth as we speak by
using up all its natural resources. Most of these natural earthly resources get
used in packaging for all products and items that we use.
Soap Boxes are
one such packaging example that use up many natural resources. It is only fair
to recycle all the Custom Soap Boxes materials or repurpose them for other
uses. If you have a bit of crafting skills and the right frame of mind, this
nice cardstock material can be made use of rather intelligently. Soap Packaging
Boxes are usually made from thin, flexible yet sturdy enough cardboard stocks
that can be reused for many purposes. A custom soap box canvas is one such
application of this great material.
Soap
Subscription Boxes can also use repurposed or reusable soap box cardboard
materials as well. Here we have a handy technique that can turn your used soap
box into a new packaging canvas. This canvas can be used to box many similarly
sized products in it:
Getting the Supplies:
Make sure to get
these items to complete your soap box canvas:
·
You required number of empty and cleaned out
soap boxes
·
Some masking tape to seal the boxes pretty well
·
Some pieces of newspaper or any other paper
·
Quick paper glue (we recommend Mod Podge®)
·
Some small tip paint brushes for all the designs
and paints
·
Your required acrylic paints in different
attractive colors
·
Any extra embellishments including ribbons,
paper flowers, ties or whatever you are comfortable with
Make It Yours:
Follow this step
by step guide and your own way of painting and crafting to compete these
beautiful canvases for different purposes:
Step 1: Get your empty soap boxes and check for any broken or damaged sides on them. If you have light damaged on any of their sides, it can be covered up later on. But if you have a major chunk missing or tearing off, that particular box might be beyond repair. You can also use other similar shaped boxes for this if you have any.
Step 2: Now, get the masking tape and apply it along all the openings of the boxes adding a certain amount of strength to them. This will not only make your boxes stronger, durable and sturdier but will also close out all openings leaving only one of it open. Make sure to leave one of the smaller sides of the box open to insert your items in it.
Step 3: Here, you will need to get your paper glue and apply thin layers of it all across the box’s surface. You can choose a few ends to apply glue but going on all of its surface will make the box even stronger. Before glue dries out, adhere your newspaper or other paper sheets onto it and press down to make the whole thing look neat and crease-free.
Step 4: Now, you will be using all your painting and drawing skills. Get the small tip paint brush out and pour your acrylic paint into a small dish. Paint away your favorite colors all across the paper surface. This is the base paint and is supposed to cover all the surface of your box. Don’t mix any inch and don’t apply too many layers that might end up raising some portion of the box surface over the other.
Step 5: Having painted the base of your box in one or possibly two color tones (even more if you are into that), it is now time to paint it beautiful. You can either paint your favorite designs directly on the box surfaces or prepare paper cutout painted embellishments or adhere them on these boxes. Whichever suits your preferences can work great. Just make sure to paint this top layer in contrasting colors to the base paint to make it more vivid and clearly visible.
Step 6: Any cute looking folk art painting can work great for these boxes. You can also use your imagination for this and create boxes that look great.
Step 7: The actual box is ready. Now you can add any picked up embellishments including ribbons, paper flowers, ties or any other ones that you like. If you are preparing your Soap Subscription Boxes, it is best to include your logo on this box as well. Make sure to have your new Soap Boxes Canvases looking neat and professional for a subscription box service as well.
If you can use
these large amounts of materials used in Soap Packaging Boxes efficiently, a
large amount of natural resources can be saved. This is an ongoing process in
which all of us have to chip in with whatever we can do. Thinking your effort
to be too small and not causing much results resulting in getting new boxes for
everything will be not good for anybody. Only by saving that few amount of
natural materials will we be able to shape our planet to a better future.
