Fun With Cardboard

I've written before about making a cardboard drawer separator a while ago.

Well... we'd gone to Costco after our tai chi class and bought 3 of those $1.50 giant hotdog and drinks deals to bring home with us to share with mom. The problem has been in making sure those drinks don't spill or get knocked around on the drive home.


So I had this idea.

How about getting one of those boxes that Costco and Sam's Club puts out for customers to use?

I also cut up an Amazon delivery box to make separators.



And then I had to paint it, of course. 😁



Good thing I painted it because I didn't have the cover on tight and a little of the fruit punch that mom likes spilled on the drive home.

Whatever the case.... YAY! It's done for the next time we decide to have some fun for lunch.

  2. Nice boxes with specialized compartments! I've used plastic shoe boxes for my variety of meds. Just waking up on Wednesday to the news about the Maui and Big Island fires. It's so sad to see. Linda in Kansas

    1. I actually had to take off what I wrote about making the box for meds, because I had something else I wanted to add. :-)

    2. I can't imagine the devastation in Historic Lahaina. So many people lost their homes and 6 people have died.

  7. Very clever, Kay. I do hope the fires are nowhere near your area, and that soon they will be under control. Scary!

    2. Hello Dee, It really is a lot of fun to create your own cardboard projects. I need more Elmer's Glue now for my next project.

    1. Thank you, Jan. I'm on the island of Oahu and the horrible fires are on Maui. The Big Island has also been hit and we had brush fires here on Oahu too but not like what's happening at Historic Lahaina. The devastation is mind boggling.

    2. Hello Kay, so pleased to read that you are okay.
      We've seen more pictures of the devastation on our news today.
      Saying prayers for all those affected.
