Try this idea for your own recycled sandwich box:
- Mark a clean 1-gallon milk jug.
- Cut along markings. Pierce a row of dots with a thumbtack to make the creased lines.
- Fold the flaps along creased lines, then open and fold flaps in opposite direction, making it easier for kids to open and close. Add an adhesive-backed Velcro dot closure.

Very cute! I’m very eco-conscious so I’ll put this idea to good use.
Ever since I made my little girl her recycled sandwich box, she eats every last bite of her sandwich. Last year she would always come home with half her sandwich uneaten and give me some lame excuse. No more excuses!
