    Could you possibly provide a picture? It would help to know the size of the box as well. I have a few ideas swimming around in my head and both bits of information would help greatly.

    I will try . Not good with posting pics. The boxes are triangular shape large enough for full size guitar

      That helps a lot Sherry, thank you. If they are the heavier cardboard, you could make shelves out of them. A small unit using just 1 or a larger unit using 2 or 3 boxes next to each other. Invert 1 so that it is point down and glue them together. Cut shelves from the lids of the boxes. Hot glue them to the frame. Add an extra line of hot glue under the shelf on all three sides for more stability. You can leave them as they are, paint them, cover them with fabric or decoupage them. They won't be able to hold anything really heavy, but would be good for a few books some knickknacks or even shoes. :-)

      Sorry, I only had the two that the guitars came in for Christmas! If I had more I would definitely share!

    Well if they are triangular shaped, they might make a good base for a homemade Christmas Tree. There were so many trees, made from different items, posted on Hometalk last year.

    I think I can make a Christmas tree out of them! Would have to cover them with something!
