    Just wondering where I could get so many boxes. I was thinking Ikea have them pretty cheap, but have you had any luck going to a local shop and asking there? I suppose they throw away a lot everyday

    1. Hani Shabbir says:

      I think using a good coupon at Michaels can help you with a unique set of boxes, also rarely I’ve seen nice boxes at dollarama. I have seen them at wholesale craft stores too. I hope this helps!

    What paint is best when painting card board boxes? Helping my niece make cardboard large cars for a party.
    Thanks

    1. Hani says:

      Acrylic paints or poster paints would work best. However, any water base paints works good as cardboard can soak up the extra water and working with kids these paints are easily washable without leaving any stains behind. I hope this helps!
