    back when I was first starting out, I didn't have extra money lol so I used cardboard boxes for so many things. The possibilities are endless. you can make end tables, shelf dividers, food storage and even clothing storage. you can trace out rings on the cardboard, cut them out and then glue them together for an instant wreath to decorate with ornamental and other materials. you can trace out spiral patterns, glue a few together and either paints, modge podge, or whatever to hang on walls. I have made shadow boxes, picture frames. if small children are in your life, make them a doll house, a car garage, etc. turn them into stackable cat houses or small dogs.

      Get a box the size you want and find a picture frame with glass in it that the box will fit behind. Put tiny decorative hinges on the box and picture frame. Roughly that's it.

    Hi Kelly, cardboard is such a versatile and inexpensive product. If you want to do something a little more creative you can build this faux concrete light that looks amazing and no one will ever guess it's made from cardboard.
