Years ago, I wrote two posts about reusing those plastic boxes baby wipes come in (50 Uses for Those Rectangular Baby Wipes Containers! and 25 MORE Uses for Baby Wipes Containers). To this day, they are still my most popular posts. I decided to revisit these posts and see if I could come up with even more ideas for reusing baby wipes containers. These boxes (and the wipes in them) are so versatile, I just love them! My babies are closer to the tween years than infanthood, but we still use wipes all the time. If you don’t like the plastic baby look, just grab some decorative duct tape, washi tape or even fabric scraps to dress them up! In the comments, I’d love to hear your best ideas for reusing these organizing gems!
