What you will need To make any of the items mentioned in this article, you will need some basic tools and accessories. Tools and accessories include a heavy-duty stapler and staples, utility knife, knobs, contact paper, ruler or measuring tape, screws, hole puncher, screwdriver, duct tape, and scissors. That is it. If you do not have these items available, you can get them for cheap at your local thrift store. You can also purchase them for your own tool collection. Tool collections come in handy. Companies that sell corrugated cardboard also sell a variety of boxing accessories or tools. Check with your local company to find out what is available.
