I have a large collection of thin cardboard soda pop cartons, the 12 and 24 pack sizes that the cans come in..Have somethings I use them for but I'm looking for some not so obvious and interesting ways to use them?? Any ideas? I use them for little storage containers already that I paint or cover to match my decor. Boring!! Haha! HELP! :)

    Hi Kristina,

    You could make coffee/side table /stands/ by stacking one inside the other till you get height required ( that's the legs taken care of) then make a circle of cups (desired diameter face down) starting with one in the middle and working out glueing together as you go. When complete, flip over and tape undersides of cups together individually. Push in legs where required. Flip and paint and or add Glass top, and there you have it..........

    turn inside out, open flat around the glued seams and use as mulch/weed barrier in your garden around your plants; cover with composted leaves and they will degrade before the season is over, but will provide good moisture retention, shade for the soil and discourage re-emerging weeds from last season.

    We take all of our cardboard to a recycle center.
