Do you think it'd be possible to make a box out of canvases?

I just got this idea in my head. I would get 3 canvases that are the same size, glue them together, and then get another canvas that would serve as a lid.

I know canvases don't have anything covering their backs, so I was thinking to get some word and glue them to the backs.

If this is actually successful, I'd use the box to put in all my painting supplies (because I don't have any place to put them, so I keep them on my desk).

Before putting everything together, I would paint the canvases first. I would paint the canvases as if they were one big picture, so if you set the canvas box at a certain angle, the painting could look somewhat 3D.

What do you think?

I know this sounds like a lot of money (which it probably is), which is why I won't be able to test this out until I get a summer job (my parents won't let me get a job during the school year).

It sucks man. I wanna do that now. v.v

If you're interested on seeing the final product, send me a message, and I'll send you a picture when it's done. I probably won't be able to get this thing done until mid-summer, so you're going to have to wait (if that's okay).

Interesting idea, don't see a reason why it wouldn't work. Though it might be cheaper for you to simply buy a bolt of canvas and make a wooden frame or even completed box and then stretch the canvas over that. Stretched canvas is much more expensive than the loose bolts, and if you're gonna have to build a box anyway it might be easier to start with the box and then add the canvas rather than constantly worry about damaging your canvases while building.

@UndeadPrivateer: Thanks for the explanation.
And I'll put casters on. I didn't think of that. Thank you.

No trouble, I'm a rather artsy guy and craft all sorts of stuff all the time. If you've got any further questions or want some further help feel free to send me a message and I'll do my best.
