They are great at protecting longer and thinner products such as posters and blueprints, and help save space in transit.<\/p>\n<p>But what should you do with the tubes after you\u2019ve received your product in the post? Recycling is definitely an option, but wouldn\u2019t it be more enjoyable to release your inner artist and use them to craft something spectacular?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve searched the internet and asked the more creative members of our team to come up with some amazing uses for cardboard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/cardboard-boxes\/postal-boxes\/postal-tubes_C102222.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">postal tubes<\/a>. These ideas should help you save money, declutter your homes and have some fun!<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Stationery storage pots<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tubes cut into sections make ideal storage containers for your \u2018bits and bobs\u2019 such as stationery, batteries and toys. These are incredibly simple to make; simply score a line along the outside of the tube, pierce with scissors or a craft knife and then cut along the line.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Pen-holder.jpg\" alt=\"Pen holder\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Pen-holder.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Pen-holder-430x323.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Pen-holder-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As with any craft activity that involves using scissors or a sharp knife, children should be assisted by an adult at all times. You may also want to attach a round piece of paper or card at the bottom of each container to avoid damage to walls or surfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Wine racks<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the subject of adults, this next one is for you!<\/p>\n<p>After a long, hard week at work, many of us like to come home and relax on a Friday night with a bottle of wine and takeaway. The only downside is having to stop off at the shops on the way home to buy the bottle.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019d be great if we could all afford to have a built-in wine rack in our kitchen but if you can\u2019t, don\u2019t worry. <a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/302746\/make-a-wine-rack-out-of-mailing-tubes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Postal tubes make a really simple, attractive and low cost alternative<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Wine-rack.png\" alt=\"Wine rack\" width=\"340\" height=\"232\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You have a bit of license here to design them to suit any room and can alter the size depending on how much space you have. Just like the stationery storage pots, simply cut the tubes into sections of equal sizes and then use string, elastic bands, Sellotape or glue to attach them into a shape of your choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Furniture<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When attached together, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/cardboard-boxes\/postal-boxes\/postal-tubes_C102222.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">postal tubes<\/a> can make quite a sturdy structure. So it makes perfect sense that some crafters have used them to build unique pieces of furniture.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1021 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chair-e1455102436814.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chair-e1455102436814.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chair-e1455102436814-430x321.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chair-e1455102436814-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Making pieces of furniture from cardboard tubes will take a little more expertise than the wine rack or stationery pots. <a href=\"https:\/\/doubleei.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doubleeei, who created the set above<\/a>, have made hundreds of fantastic sculptures from reused cardboard.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of important things to bear in mind when building furniture out of postal tubes. Firstly, despite the picture showing the table and chairs set outside, we would recommend keeping all cardboard furniture indoors or under cover. Unless properly treated, cardboard isn\u2019t waterproof and therefore leaving it outside could spoil it and no one wants to be sat on a chair that suddenly gives way!<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, if you thought it was easy to lose your keys down the back of the sofa, think of how easy it would be to misplace things down postal tubes. Just like in the picture, remember to cover the tops of the tubes with lids or a fabric covering. It won\u2019t hurt to make the chair just a little bit more comfortable!<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Totem poles<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If creating household storage and furniture doesn\u2019t seem like your idea of fun, you can use postal tubes to create miniature totem poles and go as artistic and creative as you like.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1025 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Totum-Poles-e1455102475220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"417\" height=\"317\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The actual cutting up part of creating the poles is incredibly easy. Just follow the same routine as the stationery pots.<\/p>\n<p>The great thing about these totem poles is that the majority of the work is actually the really fun part; painting your tube. Totem poles are all about creating individual designs, just like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doodlers Anonymous have done with these crazy faces<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Just think of the hours of fun the kids will have and the ideas are limitless.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>And a couple more practical suggestions<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reusing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/cardboard-boxes\/postal-boxes\/postal-tubes_C102222.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">postal tubes<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. There are some really simple and practical ways of reusing tubes that require no arts or crafts at all.<\/p>\n<p>When we say practical, we mean things that will make your everyday life easier. <a href=\"http:\/\/inmyownstyle.com\/2014\/08\/organizing-ideas-behind-closed-doors.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wrapping postal tubes around coat hangers<\/a> like this will help to prevent crease lines in your clothes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1022\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Clothes-hangers.jpg\" alt=\"Clothes hangers\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Clothes-hangers.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Clothes-hangers-430x287.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Clothes-hangers-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Clothes-hangers-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Or maybe if you\u2019re a keen gardener or have an allotment, a more practical use for you would be to <a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/5912590\/use-old-paper-towel-rolls-in-the-garden-to-protect-seedlings-from-pests?trending_test_two_e&amp;utm_expid=66866090-68.hhyw_lmCRuCTCg0I2RHHtw.4&amp;utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">place the tube around the stem of a sapling tree to prevent damage<\/a> while it grows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Plant-pots.jpg\" alt=\"Plant pots\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Plant-pots.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Plant-pots-430x242.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Plant-pots-624x351.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Find your own use<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, these examples will have shown you the many possibilities to creatively reuse postal tubes.
