This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Waste Streams.

Cardboard tends to occasionally arrive at our houses.  One way to use it is to make simple furniture with it.  Let's give that a try!

 
 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Turn brown cardboard boxes into a piece of furniture
  - For human scale use (not doll house furniture)
  - Must be more complicated than making it into a different sized box
        - Multiple compartment storage box systems are ok (like the photo above)
  - Glue and tape is allowed but finding creative ways to avoid added materials is encouraged

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Cardboard boxes you're starting with
  - Midway through making the furniture
  - Finished furniture showing it is useful
 
As if that wasn't enough, a dog then peed on the tiny ad.
