DIY: Mister Potato Crisps or Pringles Box turned Pencil and Crochet Hooks Stand

I have been finding many Mister Potato Crisps box at home. Thanks to my brother :) I do not have the heart to throw it as the box is so sturdy and can be used in several ways for storage and other DIY projects :) 

Last time when I got my hands on them, I turned this box into a lovely storage box to store my paper scraps in progress. You can find the tutorial here.

As I have been putting up my workspace, I wanted something for my desk where I spend my entire day. This is what I have come up with this time. :)

A simple DIY project to turn this lovely cardboard box to twin desk organizer :) How lovely? 

Materials Required:

1. Blade/Knife {user friendly one - and be very careful white using it}
2. Scissors
3. Mister Potato Crips Box
4. Self Adhesive Pattern paper {or any pattern paper and glue}

Procedure:

• Cut the box into half or any desired length you want the stand to be. I cut it on the line as shown on the picture below.

• Then place the two in line with each other. Place the items you want to in them and check for the height.

• I wanted one for pens and the other for crochet hooks.

• Carefully trim the excess by marking the point to cut.

• Now you will have two stands. One with actual base and the other with the lid.
• Wrap it with the pattern paper and you are ready to use.

• I have used one to hold my planner pens, color pencils and fine tip marker pens; and the other to hold my crochet hooks, scissors and measuring tape. 

A simple and useful DIY project that anyone can try. I've made mine with no money at all and have made my desk beautiful with these gorgeous twin desk organizers :)
