That's exactly what I did a few years ago. I have 2 boxes holding most of my earrings. They stack easily inside the drawer of my vanity table leaving room for the rest of my things.
I recently brought ferero Rocher a couple days ago & I kept the box because I wanted to reuse it but I didn't know how & I found this vid it was so helpful thanks !
Adding the hinges is such a good idea! I have several Rocher boxes I use with the inside organizer for my rings and earnings. Just like you said, it is such a pain trying to close it when I'm in a hurry. Thank you!
You are amazing! This is brilliant! And you have a good eye...that container is absolutely gorgeous...I've never seen anything like it. Beautiful acrylic is SO hard to find. I'll bet they'd charge at least $30 for it by itself.
Even though I don't wear jewelry I love the philosophy from this video, Reuse, Recycle and Add Function. I'm definitely gonna do this for storing other things. Thank you!
An easier way to get off that second label which I just did is using anti bacterial hand gel - put some on for 5 seconds and then use the side of a ruler to scrub it off gently and the wipe it off with a tissue. Took me literally 30 seconds incase anyone doesn't fancy spending 23 minutes. Came off super easily and clean. :)
I had a box that I was using but the ferrero rocher logo made it look tacky and cheap I just couldn't get it off but my goodness am I glad I found this. You little genius with the nail polish thank you so much xx
:O I've never thought to repurpose these!! I've been holding on to one since Valentine's and could not bring myself to just throw it away. I'm so glad I found your video! So quick and easy, thank you!!
because that's just how they have learned to talk by hearing their peers parents and all people in their country say it!! Its lovely to hear the differences I think!! IE sidewalk for pavement 'Drug store' for Chemist etc Its called Colloquialisms when people from different countries or even counties called something by a different name than others do. Viva la difference Enjoy!!
Its just a generic term that a lot of American use for all sweets and chocolate It makes no difference if its chocolate or other kinds of sweets its still called 'CANDY' Why are a lot of English so ignorant? We need to expand our knowledge then we wouldn't need to ask naive questions.
Too cute, you are! I loved the video and your creativity! I've always hated throwing away those containers, now I don't have to! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Oh God! Thank you veeery so much! I thougth I was the only one that didn't like to throw the cases out, I always think "I can recycle this... but I don't know how should I use it" and watching other videos about things like this I saw your video and I just thought, oh my godness I have to see it now!, I knew it wasn't a waste of time see what you have done with this! Thank you for share, I wish I could be more creative with this kind of things that I know I can recycle. Thanks for share what you do, it helps to the environment and to the people that want to reuse and recycle.
This is awesome! I got a box of Ferrero Rochers for New Years (my grandma buys me a box of chocolates every new year) and I only have a few chocolates left! I am defiantly doing this to store my makeup in! THX
Another idea is you could add a mirror to the inside of it, so then you can have a large mirror to do your makeup with. ^_^ That's probably what I would do with mine and just buy hinges that stop at a certain angle so I don't have to hold the mirror up. :)
breethebree that would be really cute. Maybe spray paint the container a shimmery gold or silver (or whatever color you want) to hide the gray part of the mirror.
I used these Ferrero containers when i was little! ... as storage for Barbie's shoes and accessories :) Since they're so tiny i didn't want them to get lost. I didn't want to break up a pair of Barbie's heels so i had to keep them together!
FYI: I have used Polish remover, Pure Acetone, Rubbing Alcohol, Denatured Alcohol, (every oil on the planet) even WD40 - among numerous other "Goo Gone" type Products.... However... NOTHING works more rapidly (with zero effort/rubbing/scraping/markups than A CONCENTRATED ESSENTIAL OIL!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Obviously the scent does not matter, but it takes less than one tiny drop per price tag to get stickers/labels off!!!! Just apply enough to visibly saturate your sticker and wait 5 minutes.... You WILL 🙏🏻 Thank Me I Promise!!! 😉👍🎁 HAPPY CRAFTING! Merry Christmas!!! 💁🏻🎄😇
Tell Meg thx for your advice! I just could not remove that big bad boy on the top so I gave up until I find a new way! I will defo try your method! Failing that I will cover it with either bling or mirrors tfs x
I never get the big ones till around Christmas but the next time I get one I will Definitely save it. For now I just always keep and use the small clear containers. Stick them in my bathroom drawers to organize my make up
wow I am so happy I found this video. I was just thinking of reorganizing my makeup and accessories in bathroom so they do not catch dust or humidity but I was worried about inpracticality of the lids without hinges. And yey , you have solved it. Going to hardware store tomorrow.
This popped up as a suggested video and I'm so happy it did!! I'm forever trying to find uses for containers and now I have an excuse to buy chocolate 😜
This is a really cute idea... I would probably only do this if I was gifted the chocolate however because the chocolates are about $12-15 and I could get a container at the dollar store or the craft store cheaper than that (already ready to use)... but the design on the top is sooo cute, I may have to try this anyway ;) and add a magnet sheet to the bottom so I can use it as a homemade Z-palette.
I have been using my fererro rocher container to hold my bracelets... but I did not put the lid on top. This is a great idea to prevent the jewelry from tarnishing my being exposed to the air. Thanks!!
Great ideas! I got this box of chocolates for Christmas and I was like "omg, awesome box!" Your ideas are very classy, I may do the latch version. Thanks for sharing!
I have one of these boxes for ages and had started putting strips of rolled up cloth into it to make a ring holder... havent gone near finishing it in a while but may use it for my make up brushes instead now , to keep dust off them... The hinge idea is so good!!! defo gonna try this .. Thank you :D
Omg thank you! I wanted to try adding hinges but wanted to see if anyone else attempted it before! I’m going to add magnetic sheets inside on both sides to depot and put my eyeshadows inside to declutter my mua makeuo bag! Thank you again :)
OMG that is awesome, and to think ive already thrown those boxes away. (I wont anymore) lol I noticed that you do reply to comments, unlike other people I've subscribed to, I appreciate that, *subscribing* thanks for your video
have been doing this for yrs....I don't eat this candy so I recruited friends who do...they were all happy to help lol. great video, clear, concise, well done...
Oh wow I’ve never been able to take the labels off, now I know how. Thank you for posting! I’ve actually saved a lot of these to use as carriers for mini cupcakes (even with icing) to transport to my twins’ birthday parties at school. I never had to take the cupcakes out for better presentation, as they were also awesome trays to serve out of. Now without the labels, even better.
i bought the smaller size, the small rectangular one, and my mac powders, and rimmel powders (and prob. more but thats just what i have) fits perfectly in there! i think it can fit like six or more powders! i was so happy when i found out :D
So I watched this video xmas of 2015 and have been saving the containers. I finally got the hinges and glue three months ago, and scratched off those labels this morning. Not too sure when I will I get to the edges and back part, but great idea 👍🏼it will be so satisfying when I'm done😏
I agree that they are expensive, but I have yet to find a container like this. I have so many recommendations to try out the magnet sheet and z-palette concept, I will have to try this. Thanks for the comment.
I love you! I love those boxes and just so sad to throw them out....But no more. I learned from you about nail polish remover, and the small hinges...Even I can do this. Thank you
great minds think alot i was givivin 8 empty containers from an store that i would purchase paper products, oils etc from when i first moved here to LAS VEGAS and i layed pink tisssue for layers if say i was using it for my costume necklaces. rings etc. plus the brand is hands down one of my FAVORITE glad you shared
Hello I'm new to your channel. Would you believe I now have 2 empty containers from these chocolates. On Saturday wad my daughter bridal shower. So I bought 2 containers of these chocolates. I did not throw put the container because I knew I'll use them as trays. I would like to attach those little latches you bough but I'm not sure I can do it. I may not be that talented.im afraid I may not cut it right. I have to purchase the knife you used. Where did you purchase it. Thanks for sharing this video. I don't eat any chocolates, except Cadbury fruit and nuts.
So helpful! I have a ton of makeup in those sterilite drawers and this let me out my lipsticks and glosses in separate containers and leave out the products I use the most and I haven't lost as much jewelry since doing this diy
Your welcome and thank you for loving my video. I too struggled with the removing the logo and thankfully acetone helped remove it. Thanks for reusing your containers!
I jus came to see some new method of storing cosmetics.. And found the same method which i have been following past 10years .happy to see the same idea of mine 😀😀😀
I love, love, love this video. Thanks ever so much for sharing this. I have several empty FR boxes and I wanted to recycle them expressly for make-up/jewellery storage. The biggest problem was trying to remove the FR logo and I managed to scratch one of the boxes while trying to scrape this off. A million thank you's!!!
genius! i have the ferrero rocher box for years and i use it with the plastic tray inside to store my rings. but didnt have any idea how to erase the logo! thanks for the tip. XOXO
I kept the chocolate divider base as well, and coloured it with spray paint. It's very useful for keeping my earrings apart. :-)
That's a great idea!
That's exactly what I did a few years ago. I have 2 boxes holding most of my earrings. They stack easily inside the drawer of my vanity table leaving room for the rest of my things.
Me too
I use these boxes for my sewing threads, bobbins and various craft bits and pieces. AND they Stack!
Thanks for sharing, I use them for my craft stuff too!
I recently brought ferero Rocher a couple days ago & I kept the box because I wanted to reuse it but I didn't know how & I found this vid it was so helpful thanks !
Thanks!
Same!
I enjoyed your clip. Great video you should make more.
+Milabu Thanks!
I've always stored my makeup in these but I love the extra step you took to add hinges!
Thanks!
Adding the hinges is such a good idea! I have several Rocher boxes I use with the inside organizer for my rings and earnings. Just like you said, it is such a pain trying to close it when I'm in a hurry. Thank you!
+Gloria Cano Thanks!

Like I need another reason to buy candy. LOL.
Diary of a Silly Woman I know!!!
Tina Marie (Tina Gaspard) lol
Mike l need another
Hahaha EXACTLY 😂
Even though I don't wear jewelry I love the philosophy from this video, Reuse, Recycle and Add Function. I'm definitely gonna do this for storing other things. Thank you!

I will try it thanks beautiful 😘
Hand gel is mostly alcohol so it using 91% rubbing alcohol would have the same effect
Ingenious. Looks like I'll be buying these for parties and gifts, but saving the containers for myself!!
I had a box that I was using but the ferrero rocher logo made it look tacky and cheap I just couldn't get it off but my goodness am I glad I found this. You little genius with the nail polish thank you so much xx
:O I've never thought to repurpose these!! I've been holding on to one since Valentine's and could not bring myself to just throw it away. I'm so glad I found your video! So quick and easy, thank you!!
Glad I could help!
Thank for you not trashing them. I found my hinges at Home Depot. Good Luck!
The nail polish remover for the logo is genius. I need to check if I still have the Ferrero Rocher box I was saving! Love this!
Thanks!
why do Americans call chocolate candy? candy are like sweets while chocolate is chocolate totally different things.
Hi Amal thanks for sharing. Where are you from and what do you categorize chocolate as then?
+Ash XL Reviews just as chocolate
because that's just how they have learned to talk by hearing their peers parents and all people in their country say it!! Its lovely to hear the differences I think!!

Tyra King Thank you!
I use the Ferrero box as well for my necklaces. I decorated the top of the box :) love the idea of this
Yes, I am thinking about doing this next time too!
Another idea is you could add a mirror to the inside of it, so then you can have a large mirror to do your makeup with. ^_^ That's probably what I would do with mine and just buy hinges that stop at a certain angle so I don't have to hold the mirror up. :)
+breethebree That's a great idea!
Genius
breethebree yah nice one 👍👍👍
breethebree you probably should do something about the back of the mirror though, the grey part, as it will show through the transparent lid.
breethebree that would be really cute. Maybe spray paint the container a shimmery gold or silver (or whatever color you want) to hide the gray part of the mirror.
Been looking for some inspiring DIY ideas for ages. This is genius can't believe I never thought of it!
This is great! I actually repurposed the smaller rectangular boxes to store brushes in a long time ago but the hinges make it perfect!
This is the best and most useful organizing video I've seen on youtube!! Thanks so much!!!
+Bubli Matharu Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed it.
I have that box from Christmas! And I couldn't throw it away I just knew there was something useful I could do with it! Thank you
EronMarie Maddox Thank you!

Obviously the scent does not matter, but it takes less than one tiny drop per price tag to get stickers/labels off!!!! Just apply enough to visibly saturate your sticker and wait 5 minutes....
You WILL 🙏🏻 Thank Me I Promise!!! 😉👍🎁
HAPPY CRAFTING! Merry Christmas!!! 💁🏻🎄😇
I think this is the best comment
Try using a blow dryer! Just a little heat to warm up the sticker and it peels right off with no residue left behind! It's magical haha
I smear on baby oil and I'm good to go.
OMG, using concentrated oil just ruined my box. It just scraped the film of box too
Tell Meg thx for your advice! I just could not remove that big bad boy on the top so I gave up until I find a new way! I will defo try your method! Failing that I will cover it with either bling or mirrors tfs x
Wow! You are so smart! The chockolate box looks much better and is more handy than what they offer in the shops!
Thanks!
best candy ever and this was an awesome upcycle!! never would have thought of something like this. I love the functionality little hinges add!!
Thanks!
excellent video, a good advertisement for mesh containers, storage baskets, wire mesh bins. I believe that these products have a quality manner.
aaaahhhhh!!!! I love those chocolates I am so addicted to those.
I never get the big ones till around Christmas but the next time I get one I will Definitely save it. For now I just always keep and use the small clear containers. Stick them in my bathroom drawers to organize my make up
that's not 90 degrees that's 180
wow I am so happy I found this video. I was just thinking of reorganizing my makeup and accessories in bathroom so they do not catch dust or humidity but I was worried about inpracticality of the lids without hinges. And yey , you have solved it. Going to hardware store tomorrow.
Thanks, glad you were able to find this video!
I use them to store my mounted stamps for scrap booking, they fit perfect. plus it is a great excuse to buy more chocolate.
I couldn't throw them away! Got a couple from the holidays. They are actually good quality. I store jewelry :) great idea!
Lucky you!
This popped up as a suggested video and I'm so happy it did!! I'm forever trying to find uses for containers and now I have an excuse to buy chocolate 😜
Thanks!
Very much easy and nice video 💕💕💕
Thanks.
You can also use it as a Z palette ! Just buy magnetic sheets & glue them on . & put ur eyeshadows on!
Alexa Valencia Thanks for the suggestion, that's a great idea!
I did that years ago it works
Omg game changer
This is a really cute idea... I would probably only do this if I was gifted the chocolate however because the chocolates are about $12-15 and I could get a container at the dollar store or the craft store cheaper than that (already ready to use)... but the design on the top is sooo cute, I may have to try this anyway ;) and add a magnet sheet to the bottom so I can use it as a homemade Z-palette.
I used it for sunglasses it looks really good
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I have been using my fererro rocher container to hold my bracelets... but I did not put the lid on top. This is a great idea to prevent the jewelry from tarnishing my being exposed to the air. Thanks!!
To cut the plastic easier u can melt it by makin ur knife hot
Great ideas! I got this box of chocolates for Christmas and I was like "omg, awesome box!"
Your ideas are very classy, I may do the latch version. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
I'm thinkin of doing this!!! for holding brushes.. to keep it away from dust and dirt.
I have one of these boxes for ages and had started putting strips of rolled up cloth into it to make a ring holder... havent gone near finishing it in a while but may use it for my make up brushes instead now , to keep dust off them... The hinge idea is so good!!! defo gonna try this .. Thank you :D
Thanks, I didn't think about rolling up cloths for rings but that's a great tip and I'd love to share that idea next time!
Yum! those are my favorite chocolates
Cheryl A mine too!!
Omg thank you! I wanted to try adding hinges but wanted to see if anyone else attempted it before! I’m going to add magnetic sheets inside on both sides to depot and put my eyeshadows inside to declutter my mua makeuo bag! Thank you again :)

+Shay Ashford Thanks.
have been doing this for yrs....I don't eat this candy so I recruited friends who do...they were all happy to help lol. great video, clear, concise, well done...
Thanks!
Hahahaha! The end of the video. Nothing like a roll in some chocolate to make a girl happy. XD
Looks like she busted a nut at the end.
I love this chocolate and I reuse mine to store lots of my jewlery! I should maybe update it to more functionality to it!
You just made unwrapping that chocolate look harder than it needed to be. Ain't nobody got time for that 😋
Sorry.
Haha it's fine!! I'm just impatient when it comes to chocolate 😂😂

Mie2Cents Thank you!
I love that idea
Yes, thank you!
Try using a hair dryer on the stickers to loosen the glue, then peel it off. If that doesn't work, soak the sticker with veg. Oil
Lily Banana Thank you. This is a great suggestion...I haven't heard of the vegetable oil yet, but I will definitely try that!
ashxl Or just put the box into hot water and wait a few minutes. Then take it out and peel the sticker off. :)
I agree that they are expensive, but I have yet to find a container like this. I have so many recommendations to try out the magnet sheet and z-palette concept, I will have to try this. Thanks for the comment.
I always believed that I can use that box for another thing,that is great.
I love you! I love those boxes and just so sad to throw them out....But no more. I learned from you about nail polish remover, and the small hinges...Even I can do this. Thank you
Thanks!
any oil will take off labels, WD-40, or cooking oil.
dmprisk water is also a very good method
The big one doesn't come of, it's like printed on.I tried 100 percent acetone and it didnt come out. I messed up the lid.
@@Eiramul same here

It opens up to 180 degrees
Yes, it's been noted!
genius! i have the ferrero rocher box for years and i use it with the plastic tray inside to store my rings. but didnt have any idea how to erase the logo! thanks for the tip. XOXO
In other words, it's a box! So creative.
Thanks!
