I love turning jars, boxes and containers into something useful. What could we make together?

I'm interested in creative ways to reuse everyday items like glass jars, cardboard boxes, and containers for home decoration and organization. I'd love to explore simple DIY ideas and to do more with it: share ideas with other makers, team up on a project, run a small workshop, or something I haven’t thought of.

Why I’m posting this
I enjoy finding creative and budget-friendly ways to reuse things instead of throwing them away.

This is something I've always wanted to do and never got to but here is the idea - do workshops for schools to teach kids about waste and use exactly what you do - DIY craft ideas from things we usually toss in the bin to illustrate:
1. the crazy amount of packaging or one-time use stuff we go through on daily basis
2. how we can and should be more aware of it and make smarter choices
3. how we can be creative and make fun and useful things with what we have at home instead of throwing it away
That way it's entertaining for kids and they learn good habits.
Houssam on here sews one-off garments from people’s ideas, upcycled boxes as packaging for those would feel really special and fit the whole handmade vibe

A refill shop could collect a batch of suitable containers and host an adult workshop with you. Participants make a useful organiser, and the shop gains visitors interested in reuse. You could split ticket income and photograph the finished projects to help sell the next session.
