Magazines are great information and entertainment resources.
Displaying them can be a bit tricky.
Its super easy to make, plus it helps reduce my recycling waste!
For this particular project, I went for a floral silver design to complement my home office teacup.
As long as you know how to cut and draw some lines, you should be good to go.
Its a project even the kids can do on their own or with you.
STEP 2
Turn the box so that the opposite narrow side is facing you.
Draw another line, this time, four inches from the bottom end of the box.
Repeat the same on the back of the box.
STEP 4
Grab your craft knife and cut along the lines you have drawn.
STEP 5
Dont forget to also cut the extra flap on one of the boxs narrower sides.
STEP 6
Your final cut-out box should already resemble a magazine organizer.
STEP 7
Roll out your self-adhesive fablon and have the inner side facing you.
you’re free to use a heavy object to hold this down if it keeps rolling back in.
Place the cereal box on your rolled out fablon.
Grab the cereal box and press it firmly on your adhesive fablon.
STEP 10
Work on using the allowance you made to cover the sides of the box.
The fablon should overlap about half an inch through to the other wider side of the box facing you.
STEP 11
Peel off the remaining backing from your adhesive paper and continue wrapping around the box.
STEP 12
Smooth away the edges for a seamless finish.
When youre done wrapping, it should look like a wrapped rectangular box.
Start by wrapping the narrow side first.
STEP 14
Proceed to wrap with the wider sides, starting from the bottom flap first.
STEP 15
Finish your wrap by wrapping the top flap over the bottom flap.
STEP 16
Use your cutter to cut the excess fablon along the sides of the box.
DIY Tip
When using self-adhesive paper, we sometimes have air pockets building up.
I used a ruler to push this air out while wrapping the fablon around the box.
This is not always necessary, but I found that it really helped create a tight wrap.
Where Can You Use These Organizers?
Finally, you might also use these to sort a lot of home or office documents.
Create as many as you want and label them for easier sorting.
