Creative Ways to Upcycle Melissa & Doug Toy Boxes

If you have little ones (or little grand-ones) running around, you are probably familiar with the Melissa & Doug line of toys.  They are fun toys made from quality materials, often coming in wooden boxes, instead of typical cardboard and plastic packaging.  Example:

(Deluxe Wooden 27-Piece Lacing Beads in a Box)

See that wooden box?  Don’t throw it out!  Keep it for a fun and creative home decor or organizing upcycle project.  Keep reading for inspiration and ideas.

Here are two of my recent upcycle projects, as well as some other creative projects from around the web.  Enjoy!
