Create furnishings for the abode using cardboard!

Any time of year is a wonderful time to redecorate to invite some newness into the abode. Redecorating does not need to be expensive. Using imagination with creativity can invent new furnishings that are stylish as well as cost effective.

Cardboard can be used to create new furniture that is cost effective as well as eco-friendly.

Cardboard can often be found in abundance; boxes get tossed without thought of using them for uses beyond their intended. Instead of filling the landfills with cardboard boxes reinvent them into new furniture to be admired and envied.

Follow wonderful tutorials to get on the way to creating new decor.

Whether simply by bending cardboard into shapes to be puzzled together or laminating sheets of cardboard together into boards to be cut as if using wood, cardboard can be a unique and inventive material to use to make new furnishings.
