To show you that this blog is not just about handcrafted cards, I thought of sharing with you other crafts that I do - DESK ORGANIZERS!
In 2014, when I was still back home in the Philippines, I saw all my office supplies on the two corners of my desk and I find them too cluttered. I fixed them on just one corner, but still I am not satisfied on how it looks. It's too messy for me. I wanted it to be neat but cute at the same time. And so my quest of finding desk organizers started. But with all the desk organizers that I have seen through online sites, they are either too expensive for just a simple organizer, or too simple/small that my pens, post-its and other office supplies won't fit. Then, I saw this box-in-a-box idea, and told myself, "Why not make my own desk organizer?". A personalized one to fit on my desk and have space for all of my stuff.
I inventoried my office supplies: planner, pink pens, pink markers, pink highlighters, pencils, pink tape dispenser, pink sharpener, calculator, post-its, staplers, calling cards, rulers and loads of my washi tapes or paper patterned tapes, etc. From this list, I did the measurements and I started to design how I wanted it to look like, where this or that should fit in. So when I finally decided what to do and was able to find the wrapper that I wanted for it, I started my project. Take note: I spent more or less Php300/£5 for this desk organizer.
I watched a video on Youtube on how to make boxes out of cardboards. It's quite tedious to do, but, it's a good one. It will make the boxes durable and will last longer. One day, I will create my new locker organizer for my new workplace and I will keep you guys posted to show the instructions for this box making. But for the mean time, here's the first desk organizer that I have made for myself:
