Luke, I Am Your Milk-Carton-Faced Father | DI Week 1 - Post 2

This exercise from the book "Caffeine for the Creative Team" by Stefan Mumaw and Wendy Lee Oldfield is a bit nostalgic. "Remember when you were in grade school, and arts-and-crafts time usually meant taking some form of everyday object and making a Mother's Day present out of it? Mom still has the paper plate sunflower, doesn't she? Good times. There's something to that everyday object stuff. Finding different things to make out of everyday objects presents an interesting creative challenge".

Write down a list of ten things (or more) you could make out of your standard cardboard half-gallon milk carton. They can be anything from children's toys to practical uses. Then, choose one of the items from the list to execute and make.

As I didn't acquire the milk carton, I did the first part of the exercise only, but tried to write a good amount of ideas.

Things you can make with a milk carton or uses you can give it:

- Bird feeder              - Piggy Bank

- Birdhouse                - Mini piñata
- Lamp                     - Mini soccer goal
- Dollhouse                - Mask

- Flowerpot                - Bookmark
- Plant watering can       - Jewelry box
- Pencil holder
- Candle mold
- Toy airplane
- Toy bus
- Toy ship
