Sounds like a nice re-use project. But I'm a bit worried about the durability of a "cardboard" box. It would be a shame to put in all if that work to have it get trashed in a few weeks time. some folks here have used "free" pallet wood to build some projects. Have you ever done any woodworking?

I had the same idea for all of my really thick & sturdy boxes that my diapers were delivered in. I dressed mine up with patterned contact paper that had a sticky back. I just "wrapped" it like a present and used coordinating tape (ie masking, duct, or washi) to seal the edges and make it look like decorative trim. Didn't take long at all and the roll of contact paper only cost me $5.50 and the tape was another $2. So for under $10 I was able to re-purpose what I already and create usable storage. It's been 9 months of daily use and they still look great

I have covered large boxes with burlap you buy by the yard. I think I used hot glue to adhere it to the boxes.
