Budweiser Box Cardboard Wall Mounted Mail Holder

Still having too many Budweiser cartons, and too much time and no life, I gave my liver a break and did some more crafting. Living with two other alcoholics, it's not only empties that pile up, but the multitude of mail, bills, menus that are junking up the place. I know I could burn them, especially the bills. A letter holder seemed like a semi-lucid alternative. This instructable builds off the shelf unit made earlier. It is predominately diagrams in the hopes that it makes it easier to follow.

Things you will need:
A Budweiser 18 pack box
     + Another Budweiser box, smaller, six pack perhaps
Xacto Knife
Cutting Board
Hot Glue and Glue Gun
Roughly 3 feet of cheap clothes line
Clothing Iron
Yardstick (metal preferably)
Pencil
Paint (optional)
Scissors
Butter Knife
Compass

Step 1 Your Box Dimension

The dimensions to the box are roughly as follows in the diagram. And yes, if you add them up they don’t match the max dimension.  There is a little fudging for the weird pucker that happens on the pre folds. I couldn't fabricate this out of one box. So I had to empty another box for a small piece of cardboard needed to  complete this project....damn.

Who would have thought a lowly beer box could be used for something so elegant?
Awesome re-purpose!
