HOW do I get the materials?

Cardboard: Grocery Stores, Office Supply Stores, Appliance Stores... all receive their wares in cardboard boxes that they subsequently throw away. Just go into one of those stores and ask to relieve them of their cardboard. They're usually happy to let you sift through what they have! |
