Makeshift

Makeshift means something that is thrown together quickly using what you have on hand, like using a cardboard box as a table for a short time. It's not meant to last forever.

Examples

• When the rain started, we used a makeshift roof made of a tarp to stay dry during the picnic.
• During our science project, we built a makeshift volcano using a plastic bottle and some vinegar.
• We created a makeshift fort in the living room with blankets and chairs for our indoor camping adventure.
