The Cardboard Hall of Fame

When you were little, the cardboard box had the ability to be anything you wanted it to be. A spaceship, a house, a helmet, a donkey called Gerald, another world, anything.

And just because you're now a grown up, turning the cardboard into something you want doesn't have to change. The only difference now is that you won't be pretending; you really can turn it into something else.

Cardboard can shape itself to your desires, work itself to your whims and be very, very useful with just a little imagination.

So step this way to take a walk through the Cardboard Hall of Fame and see how your old box can become the stuff you've been dreaming about:

Fancy a new laptop case? Just wrap it up.

In need of a stylish yet understated desk tidy? No problem.

Nowhere to sit and think? Think again.

Not sure your new stool goes with you decor? No worries. Cardboard ain't a one trick pony.

Decided it's time to display your books properly? Prop away.

Camping at a festival this summer but lost your tent at the last one you went to? Peg it up, paper style.

Don't want to scratch up your iPhone? Box it up.

Time for a coffee break. Wait. Don't actually own a coffee table? Here you go.

Need some shoes? Just do it.

Fancy playing songs around the campfire next to your cardboard tent? Ok but don't sit too close.

What time is it? Oh yes. It's cardboard time.

And finally, if your life is just not going to be complete without a rhino head mounted over the mantelpiece, then this really is the only way to go.

You see, cardboard is everything and anything you want it to be. In fact, once you master the art of Cardboard Creation, you'll never need to buy a single thing, ever again.

Apart from swimming trunks. And maybe some milk.

P.S. This wonderstuff can even be the packaging and the machine, just like this fully working cardboard Hoover.
