Magazine Storage Box

Erin Huffstetler
Do you have piles of magazines taking over your house? Craft your own magazine storage boxes, and say goodbye to the clutter.

Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 10-15 minutes
Here's How:
  1. Cut off the sides of the box at your chosen angle and height.

  2. Wrap the box in wrapping paper or wallpaper, taking care to hide your tape.

  3. Repeat until you have enough storage boxes to house all of your magazines.

Tips:
  1. Fabric or contact paper can also be used to wrap the box.
  2. To hide your seams, place them on the corners of the box.
  3. If you plan to group several boxes together, on a shelf or elsewhere, stick to the same size box – you'll acheive a more orderly look.
What You Need:
  • Empty cereal boxes
  • Wrapping paper, or wallpaper
  • Scissors
  • Tape (double-sided works best)
