071811-sofa.jpg Will we ever get tired of things made out of discarded shipping material? Survey says, no! This sofa is a great alternative for those with awkward living spaces or small budgets! Are you daring enough to make your own sofa?

Although foam for a project like this isn't always cheap, spending $200 bucks for a custom piece that fits your home perfectly is a small price to pay when something similar in the retail world will easily push $1,000. It's a fun project that doesn't take long to construct and can easily be dismantled for easy transport — if you're a habitual relocater like I am!

It's also a fun idea to keep in mind for something smaller, although this demonstrates the ability to build a large piece, an oversize chair with just two pallets would be just as wonderful and would work well for smaller spaces.
