When you are done marvelling at the beauty of your new cosmetics, bag, wallet, shoes or outfit from your favourite brand, you might just throw away the gift boxes and ribbons that come with it.

Now instead of doing that, why not transform those 'waste' into something useful? Make use of the luxury brands' ribbons you get with your gift boxes to style yourself and your outfit.

Check out how to below!

#1 Replace your regular shoelaces

Make your sneakers look instantly more expensive and luxe by using the ribbons as shoelaces! This will work especially well on plain sneakers with little to no design to help spruce it up.

If you have ribbons in different colours like the image above, you could have one colour on each shoe to farther amplify the fashionista look.

#2 Tie your hair with it

Another super easy way to put the ribbons to good use is to use them to tie up your hair. It will let you give off an elegant and classy vibe as well as look good with a dress or formal wear.

If using just the ribbon is too loose for your liking, use a transparent elastic hair tie to secure your hair then tie the ribbon.

#3 Make accessories

If you have a knack for craft, try making your own accessories with the ribbons! You can attach clips, elastic bands, jewels and gems to make hair clips, hair bands and more. Let your creativity run wild and come up with pretty accessories that will go well with your #OOTD.

Which of these ways is your favourite? From now on, all your ribbons from luxury brands can be transformed into something beautiful and useful! It's also a great way to reduce waste so you should start your D.I.Y journey soon.
