Your imagination is your only limitation
What an amazing product. We have become addicted to storing cardboard and using makedo as much as we can. We’ve build treasure chests, puppet theatres and even a plane. Super simple and easy to use, fun for all the family and a great green product that can be reused over and over. We love it!!!
