Empty Cream Cartons.
Empty cream cartons should not be thrown away, for they may serve various useful purposes. Medium or large ones with screw-on tops make excellent containers for dry soap powders, scouring powders, bath brick, and so on. A few holes must be pricked in the top, so that the powder may be sprinkled easily. As they do not rust, cartons are better than tins for this purpose, and they save waste and look much neater than the paper or cardboard packets in which soap powders are bought. Small cartons, cut down to a suitable size, may be used instead of tins or paper cases for baking small cakes in. Cartons of any size may be used instead of plant pots to hold small seedlings, or for packing plants that have to be sent by post
