Just stack unwrapped rolls of fiberglass insulation from floor to ceiling in all four corners. Looks better than a garbage can. A little better.
When I was age 3 in 1966, I built my first speaker using a plastic garbage can stuffed with fiberglass as the enclosure with a speaker in a wood baffle on top facing up. Little did I know that I'd build a vertical tube Sonotube subwoofer in 2004 that was sort of similar, except for sounding good this time.
Give a smart man a plastic garbage can and he can build anything!

A plastic garbage can filled with fiberglass is a decent bass trap, and I even sort of tested that. I used three cans that were half-filled with random junk (long story), so filling them fully with fiberglass would be better. Photos and Before/After acoustic data below (After adding the cans is the upper graph).

Your measurements look like they would help my 100hz area very nicely.
How about making them out of sono tube covered with burlap?
Thanks,

It depends on how thick the cardboard is. Thick cardboard will reflect too much. I prefer panels over tubes anyway. What matters most is total surface coverage, and of course thickness.
