In this DIY, I'm teaching you how to make a desk organizer from recycled cereal boxes & cardboard tubes :)

These desk organizers are incredibly cute and creative! All you need is some old boxes, cardboard and glue!

Let's have some fun! ;)

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Supplies

Materials:

Cereal Boxes

Toilet Paper Rolls

Colored paper

Design paper

Glue

Tools:

Bone Folder

Step 2: Create the Base

I have picked a Old El Paso kit Box to serve as base and I removed the lid.

Step 3: Decorating the Base

• Choose your design paper and sign where it need to be fold.
• Fold the paper along the marked lines.
• Using PVA glue stick it on the box.

Step 4: Preparing the First Compartment

• Take the biggest box and sign at 6" high.
• Using a scissor or a cutter cut along the lines.

Step 5: Decorating the Box

• Cover the inside and outside of the box using glue and colored paper.
• For a prettier effect cover the corners with washi tape.

Step 6: Stick It on the Base

Put glue on the bottom of the box and stick it on the base.

Make sure you do each row smaller than the previous one.

Step 8: Decorating the Organizer

Decorate the organizer using paper butterflies, flower, gem stones and buttons.
