Things You'll Need
Corrugated cardboard
Epoxy glue
Foam
If you're making cardboard furniture or home decorations, it is likely that you will have to purchase very strong cardboard or strengthen the cardboard that you already have. You can strengthen and reinforce cardboard by gluing multiple pieces together, adding a foam core or by covering it with strong epoxy glue. The process you choose depends on the type of project you are working on. If the cardboard needs to remain thin, use epoxy glue. If it doesn't, choose the sandwich or corrugated method.

Step 4
Place another piece of cardboard on top of the foam and press all of the layers together for several minutes until the glue has set. Allow the glue to strengthen for several hours.
Epoxy Glue
Step 1
Cover one side of the cardboard in a thin layer of epoxy glue. Allow it to dry completely.
Step 2
Flip the piece of cardboard over and apply another layer of epoxy glue. Allow that layer to dry completely.
Step 3
Apply epoxy glue to the sides of the cardboard and let the sides dry completely.
Warning
Use caution whenever working with epoxy glue. If you get it on your skin, wash it off with soap and water as soon as possible.
