Carton box. Iron clips. Glue. Bright fabric.

In order to decorate the box, you need to stock up with scissors, a ruler, a simple pencil, and also a centimeter tape. How to make a box for storing things with your own hands? First, you need to prepare the box itself.

It is most ideal for its sizes to vary within forty centimeters. Then it can be put both in the cabinet and on the shelf. Although, on the other hand, it is better to choose a box of such sizes that it is suitable for a certain place. The height of the side should not be more than ten centimeters. It will be convenient for all sorts of details. In extreme cases, they can be cut with a pencil and a ruler. It is enough to just make markings on the side walls. Important: markup on the inside of the box. Measure from the bottom of the box less than ten centimeters, and then make markings with a pencil. On each edge, make one mark, and then connect in one line.

Making a box for storing things with your own hands is not difficult. But, for starters, you need to strengthen the walls of the box. This can be done in a variety of ways.

The easiest and most common way is to fold the flaps inward. To do this, you should mark a certain height of the box and make a mark with a pencil. What to do in this case, if the cardboard is corrugated? Then it’s better to draw the blunt side of the scissors at the bend points. In this case, you will bend the material along the lines that you marked. Cardboard should be flat against the walls. If you made a mistake somewhere with the dimensions, it is recommended to fix it – apply the markup again, also bend it. Excess must be cut with scissors. After that, we proceed to gluing the workpiece. Be sure to apply glue to the entire surface, and later – firmly press it for twenty to thirty seconds.
