What type of paint works best?

Acrylic craft paint is ideal for this project as it adheres well to cardboard and dries quickly.

Can I make it larger?

Yes, you can adjust the size of the boxes and the height of the holder to suit your needs; just ensure you maintain stability.

How can I reinforce the holder?

Using extra layers of cardboard or applying a layer of sealant can help increase durability.

What should I do if the paint smudges?

Let the paint dry completely before touching it. If smudges occur, you may need to touch up with a fine brush.
