Re: My annual "Keep the boxes from your Christmas sweaters!" thread
I save the cardboard dividers from the 30 packs of Miller High Life - cut them to size as needed for spray painting or trim painting windows, trim, along the edge of the deck of the house. I got lots of them too.

My annual "Keep the boxes from your Christmas sweaters!" thread
Like the title says, keep those white card-stock boxes you got shirts, ties, pants and sweaters in. Keep the biggest of them and leave it alone. Take all the other ones and cut the large flat part out of the top and bottom. You've now got several flat pieces of stiff cardstock stored in a big box. It's perfect for making templates and patterns. It cuts easily with a scissors, lines don't bleed with markers or pens, it folds easily and holds a shape. Much better than corrugated cardboard boxes, or paper.
I suppose cereal boxes would do the same thing too, but I always think about it when I'm stuffing garbage bags into the can around Christmas.
