Emma I think these would be fab as you could decorate the boxes to match theme and also when covering the gap at the end you could ad a left to each one to spell things like love etc depending on how many you used xx

I made my own box file things like that for my office - used cereal boxes and paper mâché'd them, turned out just as good as those you'd buy in shops - also means you can have bigger sizes by using smaller boxes xx

If you wait til just after the school term starts all the back to school stuff gets reduced, including these kinds of boxes. Can get them for £1 each etc

Princess2be I think £land are doing magazine box files atm, much cheaper than smiths, also the swedish home store beginning with "i" do them in packs too, if your close to any of them?

Thanks Katya, will check them out!! xx
CommentAuthorValentinaK
Will be cheaper than some jars! But some jars can be cheap and more hygenic too!
And we lived happily ever after!
CommentAuthorKatya
you could use these for individually wrapped sweets and jars for unwrapped? will add a bit more variety to the table that way too
