Today we are ranking trash. For most, trash is garbage, but for the thrifty, it also makes excellent crafting material. This is not a definitive list of trash though -- just the regular amount of trash that I keep underneath my desk. Happy trash hunting, everyone.

I know that tier lists always bring on controversy and strong emotions, but I can confidently say that yours is trash! Thanks Studson!

Ahh yes, the only acceptable use of paperboard- shingles. You're really living the fancy trash life, I've never seen cheese with wood around it- though now I wish all cheese was sold that way. Also, your Howl's Moving Castle honestly looks like it could crush your other Ghibli projects, it's huge! Can't wait to see the finished product, it looks amazing~

[@StudsonStudio]

After watching your most recent video, I realize I am merely a student of paperboard shingles. It looks like you teach the class, founded the school, and now lead the kingdom of paperboard.

[@cas2116]

Have you ever bought something you didn’t really want/need because you saw a use for the packaging?

I recycle my paper cardboard by gluing it together in varying thicknesses, and use it kind of like mini "lumber" "ply", if that makes sense. It helps when trying to build anything that requires fine measurement and scale. I use it to make scale timber frames and things like that.

[@aquabluerose7734]

That makes sense! I've actually been using cardboard for making fake trees which works well if you're building in a bigger scale (one of my bigger trees has a trunk slightly fatter than a toilet paper roll, and it was built from paper towel rolls that are bent and then loads of cardboard glued on and painted along with real twigs for the branches and then paint on the cardboard parts to match it to the branches)

[@michellerabey6637]

Ah finally... A tier list with information I can use!

[@elijahbadgett5994]

Using you and your techniques, i recently built a massive howls moving castle model. It took over a month, but it looked insanely awesome when it was done. I even managed to make it useing mostly garbage and dollar store foam core, and my only adhesive was hot glue. Super glad I found your channel, and I can’t wait to see your version! ( I also built the castle so that it stood on its legs, without any extra support)

You changed the way I view trash in general. I save tons of caps, lids, and packaging now and I have found so many uses for it crafting and scene building. Thanks Stud!

[@KnarbMakes]

That patron song SLAPS.

[@HeyItsNovalee]

This channel is actually so amazing. Like not only do you create incredible artworks but the fact that it’s all legitimate recycling is beyond satisfying and inspirational. I’m sure we can all sympathize with all the plastic garbage that accumulates over time and not knowing what to do with it so you just end up throwing it in the recycling like everyone else. But this is such a lovely alternative to that and as someone that’s constantly looking for new hobbies and loves working with my hand this might be something I can legitimately get into. Although I don’t exactly need an excuse to become more of a hoarder than I already am this just seems too satisfying a hobby to pass up 😂

[@milgeekmedia]

My only problem is that collecting 'trash' kinda ends up as hoarding if you aren't careful! 😂Every so often I have to have a little clear out otherwise I'd have no room for actually doing work in my man-cave!

[@krltslnd4186]

cardboard is definitely AAA or Ultra SSS.... for me😛, it awesome that your taking your time to build the castle, welcome to the 3 months between videos club😅 can't wait to see the end result

[@Simplyvibing465]

One of my favorite trash is old earrings and jewelry. The hooks, the plastic gems, the weirdly shaped metal, and the beads are all used in some way when I am making buildings for dnd. Plus, my aunt gave me a box of old earrings, and after sifting through the ones I wanted to wear, I had a lot left over to recycle

[@tictacleia]

If you make friends with a neighbor who is a hoarder, you'll have all the crafting materials you'll ever need, and they'll be happy to see all those bottle caps and yogurt containers and little plastic pizza mini-tables they've collected for years finally have a good use.

[@spiralshorty6907]

was bored and wanted to binge some crafting videos very lucky to catch you this early

[@herbiehopkins]

Cardboard egg cartons are great for making shingles or patio slabs and crazy paving.

[@christopherengel7436]

Beloved Studson! I also have "neighbors" giving me beautiful trash. A "Pro-Tip" (I guess) free wood at giant hardware stores called paint sticks. You literally can take as many as you need! I usually wear a t-shirt from Goodwill from some anonymous painter as I gather as many as I can carry.

[@thegrahamsullivanshow566]

You may be the only creator that I stay all the way to the end, The singing of names is classic and makes a usually dull shout out rather amusing.

[@mopcat3059]

You inspired me to make more paper art and someday soon hopefully physical art.

[@claydevotion]

I’m terrible for collecting random bits of trash. I don’t even look at packaging in the same way now. Instead, I evaluate every bit for ideas and uses 😂😂😂😂

[@omikami6757]

This is probably the 7th or so time I’m watching this, but I had an idea for something you could craft after Howl’d Moving Castle! I was so inspired by you and decided to make the Jasmine Dragon (Iroh’s Tea House) from ATLA, and I would love to see your take on it!

It's crazy how I can see these random pieces of rubbish and say "oh yeah, he used that thing here". Shows how memorable his process and creations are

I'm stashing some of these, but the "oh yeah!" point of your video was the brie packaging. :D That thin, but relatively hard wood is so useful. (Mine is definitely not balsa.)

Just found this channel today and I'm in love with it, and with Nancy 😍 it really fulfills some long forgotten hole in my heart that I always knew needed to be filled with trash. S tier content, absolutely amazing 🥰

[@SailorCatWashu]

You can use the cardboard egg carton to make paper clay, it might be helpful for making custom shapes and it will have a similar texture to some of the overgrowth you did on the Kiki's Delivery Service house. The " Ultimate Paper Mache" has a nice video on it.

[@ness8193]

Hey thanks for this! Since I started watching your videos I look at literally all trash in a completely different way, and really crafting in general.

[@myartmultiverse]

Your video commentary is amazing and I wish there were more of them to watch 😆 I can not wait till your howl's moving castle build, I also collect trash but I have yet to craft anything with it

[@rb2950]

I like to use the egg carton cone for the top of wizard/ medieval roofs. Just a idea and saves some time.

[@MorganMakesThings]

I was watching one Studson's vids a few weeks back, and he said something like, "If you want to know how to always have the right parts for a build, try keeping a semi-organized landfill under your desk!" I have started my own collection of trash for crafting, and refer to it as my landfill. It isn't organized yet, and I still don't have a workspace. So it's in the corner. Due to my insistance on disecting soft drink cans, I now have like three dozen sheets of aluminum just waiting to be made into something cool.

[@WorldThatNeverWas08]

I don't even craft anything, but I've always felt terrible when I throw out cool looking containers/boxes/misc garbage because I've always thought there should be SOME use for it. (when I was a small child I actually kept neat looking styrofoam and cool boxes to use as makeshift buildings/playsets for my toys) This video (and all of the videos on your channel really) validate my feelings.

[@connorgrabowski817]

this is a sign from the universe to start collecting more trash also i’m hella excited for howls moving castle

[@Captain_B0b]

For finding cool things for trophies or building i like to wander around spaces like old playgrounds in neighborhoods full of different cultures. Usually all the combined cultures leave around interesting peices.

[@nardo218]

this is helpful. i do'nt have a lot of room to hoard trash and i'm trying to keep it all under 1 sq foot. This is a good guide on what I should hoard, what not to keep, and what to only keep when I have a specific plan for it. Thanks. :)
