All those holiday cardboard boxes

Cardboard boxes become everything from drink coasters to Christmas tree ornaments with the suggestions on the site, though there aren't step-by-step instructions, so novice DIYers might need to leave some time to complete the projects. Some of the simpler ones? Round ornaments made from flexible cardboard boxes, holiday angels with corrugated wings, and simple reindeer faces to brighten your winter decor. Intermediate crafters can add wrapping paper to make pretty fans, customize a picture frame (with its own stand), and create a cardboard train using bubble wrap as steam.
