How to make a cable/cord/wire organizer out of cardboard

Cardboard toilet paper rolls

Cardboard box (ideal for shoes)

Tape or glue to hold the bushings together (optional)

*The number of bushings depends on the number of cables and space in the box.

Hello everyone! Today I will show you and tell you how to make a tray from a simple box. I already have a similar master class, you can watch it. In my opinion, such a DIY paper stand is very convenient for those who work with documents or simply who like to read newspaper magazines.

Unlike the horizontal holder, the vertical one saves a lot of space and is quite compact. Often this kind of organizer can be seen in offices, on desktops. Trays are mainly made of plastic and wood. In some store I even saw wicker ones made from wicker, but they are more suitable for home use for magazines and books.

By the way, they will be very convenient for schoolchildren to store colored paper, sketchbooks, notebooks and much more.

The good thing about my version of a document stand is that it is very easy to make. So, let's begin….

DIY paper stand

We will need:

A cardboard box from breakfast cereals or porridge. The denser it is, the better. I don’t recommend taking one that is too thin and soft. In this case, it will need to be strengthened on the sides with additional sheets of cardboard for density.
Scissors or utility knife.
Pencil.
Ruler.
Self-adhesive film. Wrapping paper will also work, but in addition to it you will need glue or double-sided tape.

First of all, cut off the top of the box so that nothing sticks out. On one edge, from the bottom, measure 11-12 centimeters. Connect this point and the top one on the opposite edge with a line. You should get a bevel like in the picture.

Roll out the roll of self-adhesive and place the blank on top. The figure shows that you need to measure the height of the box and add centimeters at the bottom equal to the width of the bottom + 2 or 3 cm. Bend 4 centimeters of paper and place the blank straight. Carefully glue it around the circle.

Fold the bottom first from the ends and then from the wide part. Cut off the upper protruding part of the film using scissors or a stationery knife. Press all edges well so that it sticks tightly to the tray.

That's basically it. If desired, the product can be decorated with various decors, for example, ribbons, wooden figures or thick colored paper.

If you liked the master class, be sure to share it with your friends on social media. networks, and also subscribe to new blog articles.

I wish everyone creative inspiration and good luck! Kiss! Bye!
