The other day, I shared a video on how to turn your pizza box into a solar oven. Turns out BuzzFeedalso came out a round-up of some DIY pizza box tutorials..."15 Awesome Things You Can Make With A Stupid Pizza Box," to be exact (shakes fist at sky). A few of them are actually pretty neat innovations; most of them are still just pizza boxes. Here's their full rundown, in case you're curious:

1. DIY Laptop Stand: Fold it up all crazy and hope it doesn't break!
2. Cat Bed: Step 1, put it on the floor. Step 2, put your cat in it. If you don't have a cat, you should probably buy one, or this bed will go to waste.
3. Solar Oven »
4. Square Ring Flash »
5. Kiddy Easel »
6. Table Soccer »
7. XBox 360 Arcade Game Controller »
8. Pizza Bib: Open the box in your lap. Eat pizza.
9. Cardboard Clocks: Draw a clock on the box and secure the hands with a pushpin. Adjust every 60 seconds.
10. Crafty Birds Nest: Put some twigs in the box. Now it's a bird's nest.
11. Battleshots: Yes, that is battleship with shots. On a pizza box board.

17. Pizza Box Stool: Put your pizza box on a stool and sit on it. Now it's a pizza box stool.
18. Pizza Box Table: Get off your pizza box stool and sit next to it on the floor. Now it's a pizza box table.
19. Pizza Box Box: Put some stuff in your pizza box and use it like...a box.
