You may have guessed by now that my daughter’s upcoming graduation party is my single focus these days. That can happen when you don’t really think through your invitation list and end up with 85 people coming when you thought you’d have 40-50 guests!

If you’ve hung around here very long, you know I have a compulsion to use repurposed items and I’m doing it again today. I started buying a bunch of serving items and realized that I could make some repurposed boxes pretty so they’d work for the party. Here, let me show you my upcycled box party serving tray.

A trip to to Costco to purchase party supplies led straight to these empty boxes and a lightbulb moment.

I already had tin foil and decorative tape at home, so it took 5-10 minutes to line one box with foil and then cover the outside of both boxes with tape.

I’ll put cookies in the lined box (you’ll get to see that later) and use the other box to organize hold plates and napkins.

The perfect free (except for that expensive Costco trip) and super quick solution for party hostessing using an upcycled box serving tray.

  1. Hi Susan – I love this idea! I’m always looking for ways to hold plates and napkins and such. Especially for a bigger crowd. And PS – thank you extra super extra for sharing mine too! Hugs, Holly

  2. What a great idea! I would have never thought to use boxes like this for a way to organize party supplies. Hmmm….I am thinking this idea would be useful in many areas of my house! Off to Costco for my “free” boxes!

  3. That is such a good idea, a party table just looks so much for “finished” when it’s organised nicely. I’ve done that thing where you are standing in the shop with an item in your hand when suddenly you think “actually, could I fashion something similar for free?” – it’s lovely when it works. I love that tape (red is my favourite colour and polka dots probably my favourite pattern!)

    1. Julie, I’m the same way. I look at things in the store and wonder if I could make it myself rather than buy it.

  5. I love this idea!! During backyard parties, I’m always trying to figure out how to keep everything together. This will be perfect!! Pinning to try when I get the time. 🙂

  6. What a great idea. I really like to have my things organized and am always looking for a better way to do that. Thanks for sharing at This is How We Roll.
