Design
Come up with a basic lay out of what you want it to hold. My design holds pens/pencils, paper clips, tacks, and Sticky notes. Be sure when drawing it up leave about 1/16 " tolerance for the card board.

I like to add a theme to all my projects. This one is a beach scene morphing into snowy mountains. I suggest you add your own spin of creativity to make it one of a kind.

Props for detail and ingenuity. I do have to agree with the first commenter a little. Though, I might say it still needs some refinement, rather than the comment above. Consider painting all of it, inside and out. You are going to look at it often as it is on your desk. Also, consider your motivation, "to eliminate clutter". Therefore, visual clutter could also be reduced by smoothing the colors and removing extraneous elements. Revisions produce better products. Great effort. It has inspired me to get back into building my own organizing devices. :D
