Repurposed Milk Cartons into Snack Packs with Duct Tape

I made upcycled snack packs from the hemp milk containers that we drink from daily. Instead of throwing the containers away, I repurposed them with a fun duct tape design! I think you can transform any ordinary household item with solid or patterned duct tape. I used these small square containers because they are the perfect snack size for my children. 

 

 

  • milk container
  • duct tape in fun colors
  • scissors
  • ruler
  • pen or pencil
  • velcro
  • needle and thread

  1. Use a ruler and draw a straight line on the front and sides of the milk container.
  2. Cut leaving a back flap.
  3. Duct tape outside of container and just the inside flap. I also rounded the the edges with the duct tape.
  4. Sew velcro to lid and front of container for durability.
  5. Fill with snacks.
I made one for each of my kids and I use them for when we are on the go! It’s the perfect size for their little fingers!

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
