Make a File Organizer
Datetime:2014-03-20 Hits:
File organizers can be used for all types of paper documents, from tax forms to magazines, making them an essential part of any office. You can make a file organizer by recycling your used cereal boxes. Paint them or cover them in wrapping paper or fabric material. If you need a stronger file organizer, glue pieces of cardboard together, following the cereal-box design.
Instructions
1
Remove the wax cereal liner from the box.
2
Turn the box so the front is facing you. Measure 4 inches from the bottom on one side. Make a small dot with your pencil.
3
Turn the side with the dot toward you. Make a dot on the other side, 4 inches from the bottom.
4
Draw a diagonal line from the dot to the opposite corner of the box on the front. Draw another line on the back from the dot to the opposite top. Draw a third line from one dot to the other, which should be 4 inches from the bottom of the box.
5
Cut along these three lines with a craft knife and remove the top of the box.
6
Paint the organizer or cover with fabric material or wrapping paper. Glue the edges of the material to the organizer.
