Briefcase Made from a Recycled Macbook Box
Posted By Jorge Chapa On April 14, 2009 @ 6:30 pm In DIY,Recycled Materials | 1 Comment
We were glad to see that we’re not the only ones that, upon unpackaging our shiny new macbook [5], thought it was such a shame to use such a lovely case just for packaging material [6]. Rather than ditching or storing the quite useful cardboard box, Spring Greening [7] finalist Alison Cromie decided to cover it with fabric and turn it into a case for crafting supplies. We loved her simple act of turning future garbage into a stylish and useful briefcase, and we think that Alison deserves a place in our Spring Greening DIY Design Contest [8]. If you feel the same way then cast your vote [8] for her project today!
