    I turned a box inside out to send pincushions to a friend. Try it.

    Was it stiff enough to go through the mail safely?

    That's a neat idea but would the box be strong enough when tossed around by the po ppl?

    Aren't you the clever one. I'll have to try that sometime.

    The PO seems to not like extra tape on their flat rate boxes, so when I have something in them that bulges, I first put some Elmer's Glue in it to hold the ends together, let it dry and then stuff it, glue on the top flaps, let it dry. I don't have to do more than add a line of plain desk tape, if any. Works for me.

    You can also send any box with writings on the outside with no problem. Just to be sure your label is prominent.
