For this tutorial you will want a small box that is about 4 inches wide at its narrowest point. Most yoga blocks are around 9 inches by 7 inches by 4 inches. Your block can be a little bigger than this, but to be the best prop for your yoga, you don&#8217;t want to be too much bigger or too much smaller than this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2477\" src=\"http:\/\/jbyrdyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/beige-16875_960_720-333x500.jpg\" alt=\"cardboard boxes\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jbyrdyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/beige-16875_960_720-333x500.jpg 333w, http:\/\/jbyrdyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/beige-16875_960_720-100x150.jpg 100w, http:\/\/jbyrdyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/beige-16875_960_720.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211;Step two&#8211;<\/strong> Fill your box with recycled material.

Make sure you avoid overlapping edges and avoid wrinkles. Once you have the body of the box taped, duct tape around the narrowest edge. You will be covering over previously taped areas in a different direction.
