You have such a gift, the imagination and creativity to make something out of nothing! You inspire us all to reuse and recycle! Thanks for sharing!

[@Red_Queens_Jubilee_Club]

This is amazing. No one would ever know this started as a cardboard box. It’s making me wonder where I can find a box large enough to make a coffee table. Love that you used the pillow from your last video when staging. 👍🏻👍🏻🧡

[@larcher1221]

Genius! If you do the coffee table pls share!

[@diykarem]

Hi Mary. I have a bunch of ideas coming soon. Different textures. Hope you like them. 😊❤️❤️

What a treat to watch your creativity flow! I’m once again entranced from start to finish. The chest has a worn white leather look. Exquisite! Thanks much for sharing your great talent. xo

[@diykarem]

Thank you so much!

[@zoeemiko8149]

I make stuff with cardboard all the time. These included. A couple tips. 1). Fill an old Mustard bottle with your white glue and squeeze a stream out of it. Or get the squeeze condiment bottles from Dollar Tree. Just make sure whatever you use it has a fairly small tip. When you are covering a large surface with glue, use a slice of cardboard to coat. 2). Foam brushes in various widths are the only way to go when spreading the glue. 3). You can buy a gallon of Elmer's white glue at Walmart for $11., even cheaper for the generic brands. Much cheaper than dollar tree little bottles. 4). Look in your closet for an old blouse to ling it with or hit up your local thrift store. I'm so so so happy Karem made this video. Cardboard box chests are so much fun to make and although you need to take a couple more steps to add stability - they sell like crazy & fetch a sweet price! Love this video!

[@diykarem]

Thank you Zoe for the tips. I just finished a bunch of trunk DIYs so you might see my sloppy ways of getting it done. 🤣. I not a very patient person so I use stuff that I have around me at the time. 😬😆. Love the tips. 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Que pena que no pongan subtitulos para saber que materiales usa. Hermoso trabajo. Ojalá lo pueda encontrar traducirdo al español para realizarlo. Bendiciones por tan hermoso trabajo. Saludos😙😙 desde Argentina

[@mythreesons8084]

Just beautiful!

[@googleuser4772]

Fabulous 🎉 Tell me, how did you mask up the box as most boxes have openings ? Well done and thanks for sharing 😊

[@emilymulcahy]

Extra cardboard flat pieces glued and taped over flaps, she showed the box all taped up and it's obviously doubled on all sides

[@tati001]

I was thinking of gluing flat paint sticks in between the cardboard for more support. That way it can hold more without bending in the middle.

[@emilymulcahy]

@@tati001 it would be better on the inside or outside, if you create a space between the two pieces of cardboard you make it less strong

[@tati001]

@@emilymulcahy on the inside like ribs. It was just an idea, do what makes sense to you.

[@emilymulcahy]

@@tati001 you said between the cardboard, that's not going to help, but inside the box will, I have made many paper mache boxes like this, just offering my previous trial and error

[@cathywood5757]

Love all your crafts you are a genius. I am a starter crafter 🥴 so can you tell me if i use the modpodge and White glue together? I hope you still Read these comments as it has been a while

[@diykarem]

Hi Lisa. You can use them together. I do that sometimes when I run out of one or the other. In general, modpodge is better quality. Have fun!

[@celestialstorybooks]

Love this! Great job!

[@debrahwill6516]

Phenomenal! Right up my ally! So excited 'cause I've got most of the stuff and had been looking for something for my bedroom re-do...thanks for the inspiration and tutorial. This is way better than anything I have seen.

[@barbarabeckley8732]

Beautiful job

[@trinabelt1580]

I love this! With the paper even though you used the modge podge, in time does the paper tear?

[@diykarem]

Hello.I didn’t use enough glue to attach the paper firmly to the box. I also didn’t seal the box with varnish or mod podge so my paper did come up a bit. If you properly seal your box it should be good for a long time. ( as much as cardboard can last, of course). 🥰❤️

[@noracoolen2167]
