    Great to see you again, Jen! Very clever upcycle! If you’re building more furniture from your moving boxes, I’m here for it!🌸

    Really cool idea using the skewers as homemade "biscuits." Also, welcome back Josh Woodward! 📦 Love this whole project! Awesome job, sister! 🩷 I'd love to see the other furniture you're building!!

      Matt said he got the song stuck in his head, I did too! That guy has some catchy tunes 📦 Thanks so much sister! 🥰 I'm definitely excited to share some of these other crazy ideas I have for cardboard furniture.

      Thanks so much, Georgie! I've missed hanging out and seeing all of you too. It's hard to settle into a new area as a middle aged gal. My brain doesn't want to retain or produce anything new lol. That's so sweet of you to say, this was such a fun project but I figured it would be too weird. Happy to hear you enjoyed! 🥰

    So glad to see new content from you! It seems like a healthy amount of work, but it's really awesome how you can turn materials most of us have just lying around (in the world of Amazon delivery boxes burying us.....) into a useful piece you need to solve a storage issue......great thinking! Glad to have you back!! More cardboard projects, please!

    • @CopperCactusDIY
      @CopperCactusDIY  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sooo happy to be back and creating pieces and video again, thank you for saying that! 🥰 Definitely! Deliveries must use most of the cardboard in the world. And 50% of those probably come to my house lol. I'm happy to put some if not all of that to good use in some functional, FREE (1) furniture. Hope to share more projects soon!!!

    🎉🎉I love it!! Your faux wood look has always blown me away and now on this cardboard cabinet …I just can’t believe it! I just LOVE your creativity, Jenn! Especially with just leftover items from the move. I love upcycling free stuff too. Like I always say “If it’s free, it’s for me” 😆 Great job, my friend!

      Seriously! I forgot what humidity can do to construction life. My skin, however, is in heaven now that I've shed my old lizard skin lol. Okay, cool. I'm working out the particulars of that one but I'll definitely film it soon! Thanks, Margie! 🥰

      @@CopperCactusDIY I got side tracked on the downstairs powder room for a while so have to get back to the bathroom. Have to get a new toilet seat as mine snapped the other night! Just installed a soft close one in the powder room so getting another for the bathroom. Ach Jen how could we forget you? Not possible. But you uploaded right on time as I was missing you dreadfully.

    • @CopperCactusDIY
      @CopperCactusDIY  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @bluecurlygirl my sister and BIL have soft close lids and I've been intrigued. You'll have to let me know how you like it. Do you find yourself dropping the lid in other places now? 🤔 Aw, you're the sweetest 🥰 Thank you so much for saying that! I missed you too!

      @@CopperCactusDIY I love it and so do the cats!! They love watching it go down slowly!! I think it's great. Tip it and while it's going down wash the hands. Then even the toilet handle is kept clean because when it's time to flush it's only being touched with clean hands! Happy days. My son is a light sleeper and his room is next to the bathroom. If the toilet seat bangs at night he's awake and can't get back to sleep and he's up at 5am to go to work so it works out great for him too. It was a bit tricky to fit properly but after doing it once, it'll be much easier next time.

      @CopperCactusDIY  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @bluecurlygirl you're selling me on this idea, Emer! I love the idea that the room is that much cleaner. And quiet, especially in the middle of the night. Off to look at soft close lids...

    WoW, that was absolutely one of the coolest things I've seen. How creative is that! I think you can start a trend with that, so much of that material around. So good to see you jen, have thought of you often.

    • @CopperCactusDIY
      @CopperCactusDIY  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you my friend! 🥰 Upcycling is definitely my jam and especially after unpacking soooo many boxes I knew I had to give at least some of them a second life. I've been missing watching everyone's videos the past couple months but thinking about you too. Most days I barely get going and it's the end of the day lol! Thanks so much, Dar 🥰

    Loved this quirky fix😊❤😊. So darn cute. Love the wood grain too!! Congratulations on your move!! My son lives in Pawling NY!! I live in Athens, Georgia & this would be a great project for some University of Ga to do for their dorm rooms!! We have humidity out the ying yang!! We had a downburst storm about 2 weeks ago that left a lot of ppl without power for 2 days!! Lots of fallen trees and uprooted huge trees!! I didn’t dare open the windows cuz so humid-if I had?!! The fabrics-carpeting included-would have felt damp!! Hope to see some more cardboard furniture!! And to use as templates for wood furniture is Terrific idea!!!💓🌸💓

      @CopperCactusDIY  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much Cathy! 🥰 I've never heard of Pawling, will have to look that up. Hope he enjoys it there. We're really enjoying our time here out in nature. Ask me again this winter though lol. Yikes, a downburst sounds so scary. We had them back in AZ a lot but never in our neighborhood. I can't wait to share more pieces soon!

    This is so cool. Maybe I should try to make one for my bathroom. Although no way I can do the woodgrain finish, it'd have to be a plain color. Your talents are amazing!

      I'd love to see your cabinet if you do this! It's all found materials (fyi: if you don't have a ton to even out or don't care about seeing the decoupage lines you don't always need the compound). You're the best, Sue, thank you so much! 🥰
