Re-use Cardboard to Make Cool Kid’s Furniture
Now this is pretty cool. I’m a fan of re-using things for as long as possible, and if it’s kitschy and cool that’s even better!
Foldschool is a site that has free patterns to download that allow you to make some sweet-looking furniture for kids. The idea is to make the furniture and let kids decorate the furniture however they like: stickers, paint, pictures glued on, drawings, whatever. A very European ethic. I like it!
I think with a vector graphics program like Illustrator or something similar you could scale up the patterns by about 150-200% to make them adult-sized.
All you need is large sheets of cardboard, a wide space to cut everything up, a box knife, ruler, computer and printer, strong paper glue and masking tape.
