Up cycling Genius-What to Do with Those Empty Hand Cream Tubes

They remind us of the moments when we took a little time out of our busy days to nourish our skin. Perhaps it was after washing the dishes, or before heading out into the cold winter air. 

Creative Craft Ideas

Hand cream tubes are made of lightweight and flexible materials, which makes them perfect for a variety of craft projects. For example, you can cut them open and flatten them to create thin strips.

These strips can be woven together to make a colorful and eco - friendly bracelet. Just add some beads or charms, and you've got a unique piece of jewelry that tells the story of your self - care journey.

Another idea is to use the tubes as templates for drawing or painting.

Roll them out and trace their shape onto paper or canvas, and you'll have interesting circular designs to work with. You can also cut the tubes into small pieces and use them as stamps.

Dip them in paint and press them onto fabric or paper to create interesting patterns.
