Honestly, when we moved and I had tons of boxes, I had all these grand plans of what we could build with them. After one trip, cleaning our old place, unpacking and getting ready for another trip, I just didn’t have the energy to bring those plans to fruition and I took all of the boxes to be recycled. I know…bad Mommy!
So, when FedEx dropped off a box and K begged me to turn it into a parking garage, I did…even though the box itself was only 3 or 4 inches deep.
To extend the box, I taped the top flaps to each other. I then used other cardboard and hot glued it into the box to make the parking levels and ramps. Hot glue is my new best friend when it comes to cardboard crafting! I don’t now what I used before, but so far the hot glue has lasted all sorts of vehicles driving up and down :).
What would you make with a box?

ReplyDeleteyou're so good:) We made a "zoo" once which was just rectangular looking pins for the animals...nothing cool like you make!
