You Will Need (7 things)

  • 2 12"x6" scraps of Cardboard from an old box
  • 3 Cardboard tubes from old toilet paper rolls
  • 1 Hot Glue Gun And Sticks
  • 1 Hot Glue Gun
  • 1 a few pieces of Scrapbook Paper
  • 1 Glue stick
  • 1 Magnet(s) (I took a magnet from a toy)

Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    First you glue the paper onto all the pieces of cardboard. It's a pretty easy step.
    I didn't take pictures when I was making the one you see up top.For this tutorial I made a new one so it'll look really crappy but just look at the top picture if you're confused.

  2. 2

    Glue the 2 pieces of cardboard together a centimeter from the edge. Glue one edge from the middle length of one and glue the whole width of the other. Glue them so that the piece laying on its side is vertical and the piece resting on it is at a nice angle.

  3. 3

    Glue a toilet paper tube to the inside of your angle. This is just for support.

  4. 4

    Glue the other 2 tubes onto your structure about 7.5 inches apart, it doesn't really matter, as shown.

  5. 5

    Figure out which side of your magnet clings to the paper clips. Glue that side facing up onto the bottom tube. Then glue 2 sticky note piles onto the bottom edge.

  6. 6

    Then stock up all your stuff onto it and it's ready for your desk! You can put all your pencils and pens into the 3 tubes.I turned a magazine to a pie page (I love apple pie)and put it on. To put a mag or book on, tuck the bottom edge into the little crack made from the tube against the cardboard. As you can see. you can clip your binder clips onto the left and right edges.
