Throughout exam season, it becomes evident that a cluttered work environment is nothing but distracting. Having a desk that is conducive for studying is ideal and with this simple D.I.Y, you can transform your desk from a disordered mess to clean, accessible work station.

What you’ll need:

  • Cardboard (at the length and width of how long you want your organizer)

  • Glue Stick

  • Scissors

  • Wrapping Paper

  • Cardboard Boxes (Ex: Band-aid, Medication, Crayon)​

Step 1: Measure and cut the wrapping paper equally along the outside of the boxes and base.

Step 2: Once the paper is cut to the correct size, glue and secure it to the cardboard base as well as the boxes.

Step 2: Taking the boxes, adhere them to the larger cardboard base in your desired arrangement.

Once your boxes are glued in place, voila! You have created a simple, inexpensive, and personalized desk organizer.

Thank you for taking the time to read. Enjoy! Xoxo
