This is really useful! Good job! I wish I had enough cardboard to make this... I just used up all my cardboard that I had for a project I recently made so...Ill just keep hunting for cardboard!
Well Done Again!

Thanks A Lot!! And if you are having trouble finding cardboard, i go to places such as Costco or Sams club because they have many boxes in bulk for your taking! If you don't have either of those, then Trader Joe's is another great place to get plenty of it!

That's totally awesome! I would never have guessed that! The paper also makes it look very nice

If you add paper strips added in glue as you go, it'd be even stronger!

The thing below is a cardboard banana box with a shelf in it. I made the walls thicker than in this picture before finishing it. I use it as a nightstand/bookshelf now.
