Remember that stack of cardboard cutouts from that goliath of a box?
It became this tower of pizza boxes.
See?
Interesting, huh?
But wait - they open out to this
which becomes this:
which, upon adding the right sort of stationery
provides hours of silly fun.
We even made erasers
that really work!
And everything folds up and gets stored away when you're done.
We thought they would fit right in at our school party.
So we had the guests make their own easels to take home.
They were given one of those bare modified-pizza-boxes,
and a handful of other things, and they put theirs together in minutes.

Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI'd been wondering about all those pizza boxes..... :)
ReplyDeleteWow. These are beyond awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, just like everything you make. Great party!
ReplyDeleteQue boa ideia. Parabéns
ReplyDeleteAdoro ler o seu blogue

Awesome!! These would be great for a real teacher's classroom!
ReplyDeleteChe bella idea!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the items used to make the white board, chalk board, and eraser? I tried to follow all the links, went in circles (lol), and the whip up link is no longer valid. :(
ReplyDeleteHoping you can guide me as my kiddos would LOVE this project!
the white and black papers are just papers or anything magnetic?
ReplyDeleteJust papers. Not magnetic.
DeleteWhere did you find the boxes?
ReplyDeleteKathi - I made them. I cut them out of a big flat sheet of cardboard and folded them.
DeleteI know this is longshot, but can the Chalkboard/Easel tutorial be found anywhere at this point? The original links are now non-existent.
ReplyDeleteJean Nickell: Thank you for pointing out that broken link. It looks like the site Whip Up doesn't exist anymore, so I've brought the tutorial home to ikatbag. Here it is now:
