This is a little bit of a difficult thing to describe but what I have here in this section is a series of tips, techniques, and examples of how cardboard is bent, folded and manipulated to make shapes and a wide variety of things.

Cardboard main page - How to recycle cardboard - Techniques for working with cardboard - Fast list of projects - Box shaped projects - Books - some examples and ideas - Pictures of various cardboard objects - Cardboard weapons and armor - Tools for working with cardboard -Cardboard assembly techniques and tips - Big Cardboard Projects  - Cardboard Machines

This first technique is a good example of what I mean in this section. I call this the two hook method. Two different flaps of cardboard are hook shaped. And these can be hooked right into each other to form a side or locking panel.

The important thing about this technique is that you can cut the shape and the cardboard can be laid flat until it is needed.
