Are you one of those people who have a drawer or a box, maybe two of them, which is always full of “useless garbage” as you would think of it?
Don’t be ashamed if you are, you are just like anyone else. Everyone collects things, ranging from small buttons to huge parts of some appliance or piece of furniture in case you’ll ever need it. But somehow, you never seem to actually have a need of it right?
Well, the reason we are showing this collection of 40 Things You Don’t Have To Throw Away today is in order to show you a lot of effective and useful ways to reuse old things such as shoe boxes, jars, tins, cans, containers and many, many other similar things you would have thought of as useless and garbage, but yet somehow you’ve managed to think of them as things you don’t have to throw away.

And, why should you reuse old things? Well, it’s very simple actually. By reusing old things such as the ones we have mentioned in the above paragraph, you are going to save a lot of money on buying commercial items that serve the same purpose, and while at it, you’re going to have fun doing something by yourself, as well as improving your crafting skills. Enjoy!
