Step 1: Materials

-X-acto knife: Good ol' X-acto knife. Usually for these I use a big, box-cutter-type X-acto knife.
-Ruler
-Clothespins
-Pencil to mark off fold-lines
-Glue: I would recommend some sort of craft adhesive like E6000 perhaps. I used EXTREME REPAIR glue by LePage 'cause it dries clear, has a nice texture to it and is pretty much everything-proof (according to the package). If you can, use something that dries clear, 'cause unless you're really careful, It'll end up looking pretty messy.

This is a fantastic idea! My husband & I love Tropicana and end up with a lot of these juice cartons. Last night when we finished yet another box, I thought, "There has to be something we can use these for". I googled "Juice Carton Instructables" and yours was one of the first ones to pop up. Your idea is ingenious! I can't wait to make it later (I'm at work). :)

This is really cool, but I'm kinda confused on the gluing part???? I'll remeasure and get some more cartons and try again. This is really awesome!
