garbage construction kit (or poor man's lego's)

In honor of the expiration of the lego patent, I give you my version of toy construction bricks made out of paper card stock.  These could also be made out of cardboard packaging that you would otherwise throw away.

Step 1 Tools and materials

thin cardboard
white glue
a craft cutter (or scissors and a great deal of perseverance)
bamboo skewers or drinking straws

forceps for holding glued edges together while drying
fine point glue applicator bottle
clamps that can open up to 2" wide

spray paint!

Interesting idea, I like that you can make them your own colour variations.

Thank you! I have something in mind to make out of them too, which I'm leading up to.
