They usually give them away when you ask. Cut it into the desired length/ hieght. If you're really ambitious, you could cut them lengthwise in half for mini masks. Get carving with a dremel or X-Acto knife. The cardboard is thick enough to allow for some relief carving and hold up to quite a bit of abuse. Its paintable and if you mess up, what does it cost you? The resulting tiki can be used as hurricanes for candles, lamp covers, centerpieces,pencil holders, coaster holders or whatever.
