Money Container - Use old egg cartons to store your change for garage and yard sales. Egg cartons are good for this because you can separate all
change and it is easy to get to. Golf Ball Storage - Egg cartons make a great place to store extra golf balls. It makes it easy to sort by brand and condition and they are stackable so they can be stored neatly.
Travel Helper - Use egg cartons for travel, to hold small items like earrings, necklaces, sewing notions, etc; weave needle thru inside top cover so as not to lose it in your suitcase. Hold together with large rubber band.
Waste Paper Basket – Make wastebaskets from egg cartons. Cut off tops. Then poke holes on flap that is used to close carton. Then take ribbon and tie each carton to next. Takes 8 cartons to make a circle. The plastic bags from Wal-Mart or grocery store fit into these nicely. Makes a great waste paper basket.
Craft Helping Hand - When working with small round items, I often use an egg carton to old item while I paint one side, or just as a holder while they dry. It keeps those little round things from rolling away.
Fire Starters – Fill paper egg cartons with dryer lint, and then pore melted wax over lint. You can tear apart sections and use for fire starters when you are camping, or in your fireplace. I use left over candle pieces for melted wax.
Charcoal Fire Starter - Similar to idea above for fire starters... Using a cardboard egg carton, fill each section with melted wax so that it's about 1/3 full. Place a piece of charcoal (one briquette) in wax. Close carton and place on a shelf until you're ready to use. To use, remove top of carton, and place bottom half in grill. Light carton. Wait a few minutes and then add more charcoal. This will eliminate need for lighter fluid.
