Let's get organized: DIY memo board


Materials needed:
  • produce boxes (I used 1 1/2 medium sized boxes)
  • PVA glue (or something similar)
  • padding material (cotton batting etc. I used double layer of fleece)
  • double sided tape
  • fabric (to cover the board)
  • ribbon
  • buttons or pearls
  • jewelry wire or thread
  • hooks for hanging (I used two sets of Tesa Powerstrips Picture Hooks) 
  • leveler

Let's get organized: DIY Magazine holder


Materials needed:
  • Produce boxes
  • Glue 
Tools:
  • Pencil
  • Measuring tape
  • Straight edge (a metal ruler would be the best)
  • Utility knife  
  • Flat strong surface that you don't mind ruining as a cutting board. 

How I did it:
  1. I measured my magazines and complemented the magazine box diagram I found HERE
  2. I drew the outline of the magazine holder on to the flattened box(on the outer side, using as many box fold lines as the magazine holder fold lines)
  3. I cut out the holder following the lines, pressed in needed fold lines and folded the holder together following the steps of this tutorial 
  4. You can cover the holder with fabric, pleather or craft paper and etc. Decorate them as you see fit. 
Happy crafting!
