Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!

With more online shopping and more boxes, we want to make more uses out of these packaging boxes. Specifically, the idea behind this design is:

Simple: Easy to make, disassemble, reassemble, and carry around.

Flexible: The same components can be reorganized differently for various purposes.

Fun: The many, many possible arrangements of the boxes allow for a varied color spectrum.

Supplies

- Cardboard boxes (almost any number of boxes works)

- Tri fold display boards or other big sheets of cardboard (for bigger pieces of furniture)

- Binder clips (a lot)

- Paint (Optional)

Unfold the Flaps of the Cardboard Box and Flatten It.
