A big blue Tardis Police Box is a fantastic item to decorate any Doctor Who party, but a Tardis can be expensive to make and then awkward to store once the party is over.
We made this simple Tardis from a cardboard refrigerator carton and some paint. Hopefully you can make it for under $20, less if you have existing paint.
The items you'll need:
Fridge carton - Free from a large electrical appliance retailer. Larger the better.
Paint - Blue for body of the box. Rattle can black and silver for the details.
Roller or brushes.
Printer - to print out the signs and windows.

Signing UpStep 1: Box and Blue Paint
The first thing to do is paint the box blue. We used old-school blue enamel and applied it with a cheap roller that we disposed of afterwards.
Enamel gave us a nice glossy finish but took a full day to dry.

I was going to add a turret but we simply ran out of time. In the end I think the effect was achieved without it.
We can also flat pack it for storage.
We like simple here. :)
Fantastic work!
