I recently accomplished a deep clean of my craft room. I have a couple of the cubes below from Michael's. I turn them both directions for various items, however, I desired to get the items easily from the back of the cubbies so I thought I would make some drawers.
Here are the drawers I made for the small cubbies. To make your own, you will need 2 - 12x12 sheets of thick card stock, strong adhesive and a knob or pull for each drawer.
- Score sheet #1 at 2.75" on each end or 2.75" and 8.25" (short side)
- Fold on score lines
- Cut sheet #2 (uses entire sheet)
- 12"x4.5" - 2 pieces
- 12"x1.5" - 2 pieces
- Score 12"x4.5" pieces at 2.75" on each end or 2.75" and 8.25" (short side)
- Score 12"x4.5" pieces at 3.75" lengthwise leaving a .75" strip
- Add adhesive to the 12"x1.5" strips and add to long sides of sheet #1 to desired height
- Add adhesive to the center .75" strip and align along open end of sheet #1
- Prefold the corners against the sides of the box, I found the fold naturally fell into place
- Add adhesive to the entire side panel including the inside of the folded corner
- Don't forget to put adhesive on the outside strip of the fold
- Firmly press the adhesive and smooth out the corner.
- Repeat with the last piece of paper to complete the box shape.
- Finally, poke/punch a hole(s) for your pull or knob for the front of your drawer
Here's the entire cube with my two new drawers.
Here is the junk I stashed in my drawers. Ribbon and other bits and pieces that don't have a place in my craft room yet.
Blenders and handles I access frequently in this drawer.
Ingredients:
DCVW Metallic Pink card stock
Scoring tool
