Make a box to store your components (or other stuff)

I have tried many different ways to store my pile of components in an orderly way, but the thing that works best for me was to make a box for them. In this Instructable I’ll show you how to make a nice box that works very well for me. All the stuff you need is around in almost all homes, I try to make my Instructables as helpful to everyone as possible, just so nobody feels left out just because they don’t have certain things, and I have experienced it myself. Note that I haven't really made it look very good because I don't really mind.d it myself.

Step 1: Materials and tools

All you need is:
• A lot of cardboard. Boxes from markets work great, I used corrugated cardboard
• Any glue that sticks well to paper and cardboard, I used normal office glue
• Paper. It can be coloured if you like, I just used “Ultra White copy/laser paper”

Optional:
• Either some kind of cloth or some protective padding (recommended) I don’t have padding so I just used “easy dry” disposable cloth. If you don’t have those, just paper towels will work
• Components or other stuff to be contained (recommended)
• Wide tape, at least about 4cm wide. I used clear tape that worked well
• A clear plastic sheet, whatever size you want (only if you want to store SMD chips)
• Clear tape, 1cm to 2cm width (only if you want to store SMD chips)

Tools:
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun and sticks for it

Awesome! My craft stuff is always disorganized. I need a box like this to keep all my things in one place :)
