The World’s Top 10 Best Things to Make With Milk Cartons
White Elephant made out of recycled Milk Cartons
We all have to go through disappointments in life because it is what makes us stronger and appreciate the better times in life even more. But one moment will be with me forever and never to be forgotten. You see, while on holiday in Devon, UK once I got the chance to try fresh cows milk straight from the cow. Let me tell you that if ever you get the chance to do the same…DON’T!!! It was awful and I was so disappointed because I really thought it would have been much better than milk from a carton. So I think I should try to find some uses for all those empty milk cartons I will make over the years, so without further ado I bring you…
The World’s Top 10 Best Things to Make With Milk Cartons
Milk Jug Bird Feeder
10 – Make a Bird Feeder
Nothing too complicated here, just a good recycling idea that will be great fun to make with the little ones. And best off all is the image link has an easy to follow step-by-step guide.
Milk Jug Skeleton
9 – Make a Halloween Decoration
This looks amazing and while it will require a fair old amount of time, effort and skill to pull it off I think it would be well worth it, and there is also a great step-by-step guide to make it.
milk bottle watering can
8 – Make a watering jug
What you see on the end of the milk jug is a “Sprout” and is the work of Evan Gant. It is intended to help gardeners and upcycle their empty milk jugs into watering cans. Click on the image a take a better look at this rather amazing concept idea.
Milk Jug Storm Trooper Helmet
7 – Make a Storm Trooper Helmet
While this will require a fair old amount of time and skill, it has to be said that it is an idea made from a pure genius, not only does it look great, make for a great recycling idea as well as those 2 things there is also a step-by-step guide to make one as well! What more could you ask for?!
Spirit Jugs
6 – Make a Milk Carton Ghost
Not only do these look great, but they are also very easy to replicate. In fact I would go so far as to say that even I will try to make some of these for Halloween. And lets face it, if I can make it anyone can!
Dust scooper made with plastic milk carton
5 – Make a Dustpan.
Now this is what I call pure genius, just cut alone the lines of the plastic milk jug it shows in the image and you have yourself a good replacement for a broken dustpan!
milk bottle planter
4 – Make a Planter
This simple looking milk bottle planter brought a smile to my face the moment I saw it, so I knew it would have to be in this top 10 and I for one think it is a great idea. No making guide in the image link but it wouldn’t be too hard to copy it.
Milk Bottle Penny Jar
3 – Make a Penny Jar
This idea is so simple it hurts, just clean out an old plastic milk carton and use it as a penny fund for saving towards a day out or new gadgets, provided it is left alone (harder said than done) it will build up quite nicely indeed and there is no making guide required.
White Elephant made out of recycled Milk Cartons
2 – Make an Elephant
Sadly this would require more plastic milk cartons than I will ever drink in my lifetime, but this White Elephant seen at Glastonbury Festival one year is a sight to behold and a real showcase of how big Peoples creativity can be given a simple plastic milk bottle.
milk carton stationary organiser.
1 – Make some pencil holders
I don’t know what I like more about this idea, maybe it is because it makes organised coloured pencils look amazing, or maybe that it just doesn’t need a making guide of any kind, because it is quite clear what you have to do to the milk cartons.
The World’s Top 10 Best Homemade Ice Lollies
Ice screams’ lollies
Dare I say it? But I think the summer is here! Yes, it is time for
going to the beach, mowing the lawns and making many new happy memories
for years to come. While I do love a day out at the beach it can get
pretty expensive. £2 for 99 cones?!? Too rich for my blood. So while
they would most probably not make it to the beach without melting, I
have decided to make my own lolly’s! But which ones should I make…

Cherry Popsicles
7 – Berry good indeed!
Not only thick chunks shaped, but also a summer tasting treat that is sure to make people smile as the lick it to death. Cherry always makes for a great lolly anyway, but when presented in a sort of chocolate chunks shapes it just seems all the more better.
Lemonade Cucumber Spa Popsicles
6 – Cool as a Cucumber
If ever, there was a lolly that summed up the word ‘refreshing’ this would be what it was. Made with cucumber, a freshly squeezed Lemon and not much else it really is a fantastic health alternative to less healthy summer snacks. Merely looking at the image of them is making my mouth water, so I might haver to click on the image and make some myself!
Kahlua Banana Popsicles
5 – The tastiest cocktail lolly in the World? Maybe!
Definitely not one for the kids, but these would be great for a little after dinner party snack. I have to wonder how many lollies it takes to get drunk!?! Well, if you like a little drink or two and would like to find out, get clicking on that image link.
Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles
4 – Anything with the word “Cheesecake” in the title gets my vote!
These absolutely mouth watering popsicles are nothing but stunning. With a tasty biscuit base as well, these would go down rather nicely after a summer BBQ. So why are you still reading this rubbish? Get clicking on that image and get making them, with the first class recipe and making guide you simply can’t go wrong!
Rainbow Lollies
3 – Literally taste the rainbow!

These amazing ice sculptured lollies are in fact utterly real and have been made at home to showcase a future business idea! These ‘ice screams’ lollies will come in a wide range of classic horror characters. They are sadly just a home-made idea at the moment, but they hope that one day these will be mass produced! Now that is cool.
Super Mario Mushroom ice lolly
1 – Super Lickeo!
I am of course a nerd. And just about anything Super Mario inspired is sure to rock my World and so does this amazing (big Mario) grow up mushroom! And best of all the image link goes to a rather cool ice lolly making kit!!! Sounds like a winner to me.

The World’s Top 10 Amazing TARDIS Inspired Furniture
T.A.R.D.I.S inspired sofa
I don’t watch a lot of basic TV because now days everything is on-line and on-demand so I can fit what I want to watch on TV around my life not the other way around. But one show I always make sure I watch is Doctor Who because I love it so much. Sometimes it is rubbish, some times it is scary, but I never miss an episode. So with the nerdy side of me in full control I have decided to bring you…

T.A.R.D.I.S inspired book cabinet
7 – Silence in the Library
This idea goes to show what someone with a bit of IKEA furniture and a lot of creativity can do, because turning a plain book cabinet into a TARDIS inspired on is a genius idea. Sadly this is a one-off and we can’t buy it, but it looks incredible!
T.A.R.D.I.S inspired TV cabinet
6 – TARDIS TV
What better way for me to watch the latest adventures of doctor who than on this cool TARDIS inspired TV and DVD cabinet! They have decided to call it “an expandable entertainment center” but I will stick with TV cabinet.
T.A.R.D.I.S inspired chicken coop

Before anyone gets their hopes up of owning one of these amazing TARDIS inspired sofas I have to be honest and tell you that I have made this image myself. Sadly it was only done in photoshop and the image link goes to the classic red version of this sofa. But it will only take someone with a little creativity to make one for real.
T.A.R.D.I.S inspired fold out bed
2 – Do Timelords Sleep?
The Doctor once said that he needs to sleep a lot less than humans, which means that Time Lords need at least some R&R. Well if they need rest then I think they will find this rather amazing TARDIS inspired fold out bed just the thing to pass the time.
T.A.R.D.I.S inspired fridge
1 – Doctor Who Vs The Ice Warrior
What I love most about this idea is that it not only fits the shape of the refrigerator really well, but you can also buy the kit (£121.41) and do it yourself! Do you know what!? I think I might just have to do this.
