Upcycle Milk Cartons

May 19, 2019

Milk Carton Pen Storage

We made some storage for pens, scissors, tape and other craft supply my kids might need for their new craft corner. Having those things accessible for them to use when ever they feel like it is a good way to promote creativity and the feeling that they can do things by them selves without having to ask for help all the time. It makes them grow, both their self esteem and creativity. I have made a pdf with printable animals, you can download it here:

Milk carton animalsDownload

You will Need:

  • Milk Cartons
  • Printed Milk Carton Animals A4s
  • Scalpel
  • Paper glue

How to:

  • Print “Milk Carton Animals” and cut them out
  • Rinse out the milk cartons and let dry
  • Fold the prints by the small marks at the bottom
  • Glue the printout to the milk carton at the height you want, cut away the rest at the bottom
  • Use the scalpel to cut off the top of the milk carton at the edge of the printout
  • Done!

    Hej!
    Superfina kartonger!
    Jag förstår dock inte hur jag ska få printet i rätt storlek? De måste ju vara långa som ett A4, men PDF:en visar bilden på ett papper med väldigt mycket vitt runt. När jag skriver ut blir således delen som ska sättas runt mjölkförpackningen alldeles för liten. Har du något tips på hur jag löser det? (Är jag den enda som har problemet?)

      Hej

      Tack! Formatet på filen är ett A3 papper. Jag tror din skrivare har skrivit ut filen på A4 och anpassat till den storleken, då blir den för liten. Testa skriva ut som A3. Hoppas du får rätt på det 🙂 / Sofie
