What can I do with this?

[blackmageheart]

Alright so I have this polystyrene box. It's almost a cube but not quite. I really think it needs to be re-purposed but I have no idea what to do with it.
So I come to you, my chums at SS, 'cause you're all full of awesome ideas.

Here's the box:

It's 10" high x 11" wide. The inside is about 7" deep and I forgot to measure its other dimensions not that they really matter. Ignore the blue thingies, they are just packing for what was inside.

Some ideas on what I can do with it would be fab!

The obvious answer is transporting organs.
But if you want something a little more crafty, I would cover it in fabric, like you would a gift (lid separately), and the cool thing is that you could use it like a cork board. You can pin reminder lists, current project info and charts, and put your WIP inside. If you pinned the chart to the lid you could keep it in your lap or on the table next to you, or wherever you're working.
Or were you looking for something more creative than that? Because you could also cut out cool pictures and glue them on like a collage, and then cover the whole thing in a clear coating. Or you could make a neat design with tape, or square shaped stickers for pixels, paint the box, and when the paint is dry remove the tape or stickers.

This would be an ideal candidate for a companion cube base imo. Just don't use any aerosol paints on it!

It's funny you should say that, since it also originally had 3 frozen gel packs in it (I now use them to keep cool, they're amazing for sore feet!)

To be honest I don't know what I'm looking for. Just ideas for now, I don't seem to have any good ones myself at the minute.

I knew someone'd say companion cube!

There's only 1 answer: beer cooler. We get those things at work all the time & always wish there was beer in them. Although when they contain dry ice it becomes a fun day.

diorama frame. stitch on/through it. Hat box. break it up for drainage at the bottom of a pot. treasure chest. cutting it down and using for the carving of stamps. cut off one side and stuff with old towels to make a cat bed. Paint a till on it and give to your kids to play shops with. Keep it to one side and re-use for future parcels. Yellow question mark box. cut up and make little tetris blocks out of it (add magnets for fridge fun times)

Turn it into the box from Kuni's Wheel of Fish gameshow from UHF. What's in the box? NOTHING! STUUUUPID!

Also make a wheel of fish.

trash can filler?

Bahaha! That's exactly what I was thinking when the boyfriend shoved a similar (but larger, and not so cube-like) polystyrene box in a closet. But after reading all these suggestions, I'm having second thoughts. I could trim it down for a giant companion cube to go with my lil 'un
