Spare drywall scraps can be used to make cubes for storage or display of lightweight objects. The cubes are basically sections of drywall held together with L-brackets. The cubes can be made with minimal materials and customized to fit any design. They can be stacked atop one another pyramid style for additional storage and support.

Position two 1-inch metal L-brackets between the larger section and each board of the square frame that rests on top of it. Drill a 1/2-inch drywall screw into each bracket hole to affix the rear board to the square frame.
