Make a space for all your desk supplies by transforming cardboard into an organizer.

What you need:


*Recycled cardboard
*Duct tape
*Hot glue gun
*Washi tape



Instructions:

Start off by cutting the cardboard into 12 in (30.5 cm) by 4 in (10cm) rectangle pieces.

Cut out 16 pieces to create a triangle organizer. Along the 12 in side of your rectangle, make a fold along the 4 in and 8 in mark.

Fold the pieces inward to create an equilateral triangle. Use a 14 in (35.5) piece of duct tape to assemble your triangle. As an optional step, use wash tape to create additional designs.

Align the 12 in side of your rectangle to the 14 in piece of tape, having 2 in of tape stick out on one side of your cardboard.

Make a small cut at the 2 in mark. Fold the duct tape in. Fold the pieces inward to form your triangle, use the extra 2in section of tape to hold your triangle together.

Attach an additional piece of tape to the opposite end of your triangle to hold it in place. Repeat on the same process on the remaining pieces of cardboard.

Use hot glue to attach the triangles together to create your desk organizer.
