All you need is a little imagination and elbow grease to make it a decorative element in its own right . Take for example, with an old cardboard milk carton, glue, paint and scissors you can make a pretty cardboard vase , a pen holder or storage for your cupboards . If you want to tackle bigger, it is possible to make extra furniture cardboard, like a bedside table or a wall shelf . Finally, to please children, you have the choice between making them a disguise or a big cardboard hut .
