How to Build a Cardboard Dance Mat
- 1). Cut the corrugated cardboard box open using the craft box. The corrugated cardboard is strong and offers some cushioning. If your box is not big enough to cover your dance area, cut open several boxes.
- 2). Lay the cardboard boxes open and flat on the ground. Cut pieces of duct tape and tape the different parts of the box or boxes together to form a flat mat.
- 3). Cut a piece of carpet padding that is as big as your cardboard box dance mat. Place the carpet padding in your dance area and put the box on top of the padding. The padding can be removed once you are more adept at breakdancing and no longer require the added protection.
