Diy mini paper drawer with waste cardboard | Recycle and reuse the cardboard

Do it yourself or diyhub is a great community for artists. I have been watching this community for a long time and the people in it have made so many unique things. I was also really keen to make something for this community and then this community launched a contest in June which was on recycling. They want to see our most brilliant diys made from recycled, repurposed or up cycled materials. Weather its something functional, decorative or both. I have seen this storage drawer on the Pinterest. And I liked it so much that I thought I would make it. But I also made some changes to it according to my taste, like adding decorative tape on the edges, etc. I hope you like this diy of mine.

Here is the materials needed for making this diy.

▪ waste cardboard
▪ scissors
▪ scale
▪ simple tape
▪ decorative tape
▪ Glue gun and glue stick
▪ A4 papers
▪ Lead pencil
▪ 2 pearls
▪ And colors or anything you want to save in it.

Now I connect 2 pieces of cardboard together and secured it with the tape. So that they can not misplaced or moved.

With the same procedure I glued the other 2 pieces as well and connect all of them with the tape.

Now I glued the blue paper on both sides of the cardboard pieces with the help of glue gun.

On the other side paste the paper as well and fold it on the area where we apply tape on it.
