Cardboard or Cardstock?

Paper Chase

It is inevitable that some of the felt projects require the use of cardboard or cardstock.

Usually the thicker cardstock comes in BIG sizes, bringing them back and storing them is a problem for some of us. But you don't always have to go down to the craft store and carry the big piece of cardboard back.

There are lots of useful cardboard and boxes around our house that we can make use and recycle.

Here are some which I find quite useful.

Post / Mailing Box.

Which is what I use for my Felt Gingerbread House.

Boxes of computer products, toys boxes etc...

You can also use double layer if you find single layer to thin.

Tissue Boxes.

And other cardboard and boxes such as foolscap paper backing, empty milk carton, shoe boxes and biscuit boxes and even your shopping paper bags etc... These are also great as some of the projects you might need thicker cardboard for example, felt gingerbread house, pizza server and some you need thinner ones like the felt cakes, tea set and utensils.

So start looking around now and you can save some money and do your part in saving the environment by recycling those paper.
