Use Flattened Boxes for Drop Cloths

When we got all our stuff unpacked from our recent move, my husband decided to flatten some of the larger packing boxes and use them around the edges of rooms that needed to be painted instead of having drop cloths spread about. They can also be used in the center of a room while painting the ceilings. He used one yesterday to paint a table he had made. When you are finished, just fold on the existing fold and stand them up in your tool storage area.
