Introduction: Knex Desk Tidy

By
About: My name is Hiyadudez. I make stuff. "The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure."

A knex desk tidy. This is a platform with lots of compartments to hold all of your desk and school and office supplies, such as pencils, pens, cellotape, stapler, ect.

This desk tidy has a compartment for a stapler, felt pens/writing pens, pencils, cellotape and markers/highlighters. It is very handy to keep your desk clean, and it also looks pretty cool! It is a unique way to keep your desk tidy and clean, as well as it being creative and original.
