If you buy things to any extent, you’ve probably got some leftover packaging hanging around. What are some cool ways you’ve found to make use of all these materials? Special props to ideas that can be replicated!

    My kids have a pile of cardboard screws that they use to turn boxes into all sorts of things; rockets, forts, cars and you could probably make organizers, shelves and the like too. The screws grip the cardboard surprisingly well, and it’s easy to make even quite large structures robust.

      Holy jam, these are so cute and I think I might gather some cardboard and create a sensory deprivation chamber I once sat in many moons ago with something like this. I didn’t think about how you could use plastic screws to fortify cardboard builds you make. Thank you!
