With this, you don’t only recycle your cardboard but also make organizers for your things. It’s a super productive project for your friends or family and a perfect weekend DIY! Learn the step-by-step instructions by watching the video tutorial below.

Materials:

  • cardboard
  • wrapping paper
  • pencil
  • scale
  • scissors (or cutter)
  • paper glue
  • hot glue

Directions:

Step 1

Cut your cardboard 30 cm in width and 28 cm in length. Cut a slant on one side, leaving an 11 cm length below it and 13  cm on top. Next, cut a 30 cm x 10 cm rectangle, a 28 cm x 10 cm rectangle, and an 11 cm x 10 cm square. Now, cover the outside of the larger pieces with the wrapping paper of your choice, then a solid colored paper on the inside part of the cardboard. Repeat this process with the other cardboard pieces.

Step 2

Now, start assembling the organizer. Put some hot glue on the bottom of one of the larger pieces, then attach the 11 cm x 10 cm rectangle. Put hot glue on the longest side, then attach the 28 cm x 10 cm rectangle. After this, attach the other large piece on the opposite side, then fix the square on top to finish the organizer.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
