USPS Flatrate Cardboard Castle

I was influenced by this video of creating chairs out of postal boxes

I'm part of a community organization called [freespace] that recently opened at the time and we need furniture so I ordered around 1000 flatrate boxes. hahaha

We had so many still left over after the "Postal Box Furniture Making and Pan Pizza Party" that I thought making a giant cardboard castle was a good.

I have a focus on modular structures. Here's how I did it.

Materials:

These are the boxes you want:

Duct Tape - Lots of it

Have your friends help make boxes while you contemplate this endeavor you're about to take on.

*Lala posin' with the mountain of boxes

Set the overlay.

Over lap 1/4 jutting out to create a modular puzzle like fit!

I made mine 10 boxes across and 5 boxes in height

split into 9 pieces:

3 walls

4 corners

2 entrance pieces

Takes a long time so get friends that have some maker skills to help!

There will be a side where there is a gap due to the way the overlaps are made.

-Consider them windows :)

Once it's complete, you can disassemble them and rearrange them into whatever you want.

I found them to work very well as a wall partition as well.

Put a carpet in it.

Add some chairs.

Place a table.

Maybe even a guitar,

Then Invite foreigners/strangers/friends family,

and BAM you got a great place to chill :)
