Paper Organizer

Here's my thing. I LOVE cute office supplies! I go to back to school sales and want just about EVERYTHING! (Except filler paper.... which I just need but it isn't cute at all. :P) But of course, I can't buy anything cute because I can't justify buying it! :P

So........

Yesterday I made an organizer for some of my school papers out of a cereal box. That's right. Out of a cereal box! Because I'm awesome! (Or cheap. More like cheap :P) But now I get to teach you all how to make one! (If you're as cheap as I am.... or just like duct tape.....)

First off. I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures. Like so many things about my phone, her camera is NOT great. :P

Important information: my cereal box wasn't standard size. It was 9 1/2" x 11 1/2"

The box! 

First I cut off the flaps at the top.

Flapless

Next I made a mark about 4" from the bottom on the side and 3" in at the top from the other side and drew a slanted line between them that guided my cut. (I tried to get a picture of this, but the quality is awful and you can't actually see it :P)

After I made my line I just took my scissors and cut it out. It looked like this:

Yay it's done! Except not..... Because, while this might effectively hold papers, it says "eerios" on it! Blegh! :P But as we know.... Duct tape fixes EVERYTHING!!!! :) 

Duct tape!!! :)

Half covered.....

Finished product!

These things are super great because they cost virtually nothing!! They also are very easy to personalize with different colors and prints of duct tape. Oh and.... they hold a TON of paper! :) 

The End! :)
