Valid Reasons to Make a Paperboard Person

]]> Believe it or not, there are just as many reasonable excuses to make a paperboard person as there are days in the week. Maybe even more.

paperboard-side-view.jpg1. Exploring the parallelism in packaging is too fun. Really. If there’s a perfect right leg, then there’s another perfect left leg nearby.

2. You’re able to free special people who might otherwise spend their final days in the recycle bin. Not that there’s anything bad about recycling. We do need cereal boxes of tomorrow.

3. It’s relaxing. Yip. Doing something silly you choose to do is the meaning of relaxation.

4. No money down. In fact, no money at all!

5. Your kids or pets can help. Again, free entertainment.

6. Paperboard people give your magnets something pretty to hold up. Or something ugly. It’s up to you.

7. You can see your paperboard person on Junk Creation. Take a photo and email it to peggy.rowland (at) b5media.com.

So, please…

eye your next box of oatmeal or package of spaghetti as a masterpiece in the making.

My Paperboard Person

]]> Just don’t call her a tea bag lady. She’s sensitive.

Ms. Twinings is proudly composed of a paperboard tea box and some tea tags. Everything is reused except the glue holding her together. I thought about making the movable variety, but she seemed like the wild type with all that caffeine.

Why make a paperboard person?
