Office Organization: File Magazine Box

My paperwork was a mess!

I needed something!

I had a ton of Capri Sun boxes laying around (I heart boxes:)

When in need...use what you got!!!

This is what I got...a file folder holder

or

turn it upright and use it as a magazine holder

Supplies:

• capri sun boxes (or another type of box)
• measuring tape/ruler
• pen
• box cutter
• tape
• spray paint (optional)

1. Find a box.

I used a capri sun because I had a ton!

They were on sale:)

And...they are very sturdy!

2.  I measured 4 inches from the end

(of the closed side or just tape a side closed).

This is how I wanted my box shaped.

You can always alter this design to be what you want.

3.  I drew a line from the 4 inch mark to the other opposite end (on both sides).

Then I cut along the line (on both sides) and around the top and bottom of the box.

 4.  I taped the end of the box.

 Before & after.

Tada!

a File/Magazine Box

Here it is on my shelf:)

You can use it like this...natural cardboard...or

paint it black.

Take a look at the difference between the two.

Can you tell what color I chose to go with?

Cost for me...$1

(for spray paint)

Happy organizing!!!
