Cardboard desk organiser

133 Comment

Such an easy project that your kids can help you with. Let them chose the colours and help you paint the egg carton and toilet rolls and they will be inspired to keep their desk tidy. Great with the start of term 4 of school.

Material

1 egg carton
12 toilet paper rolls
assorted paints, sticky tape, paintbrushes.

Method

Cut the egg carton in two and keep the lid.
Paint the toilet rolls in the colours you want - we chose rainbow colours. Paint the base of the egg carton as well. Let dry.
When dry, sticky tape the toilet rolls to the base of the egg carton and to each other (by double siding the tape) for added stability.
Let your child add their stationary in.

Notes

Sparkle it up by adding stickers or glitter glue if you like.

So cute. I’ll get my little one to help me make these so they can go on my desk at work for that daily reminder of why I’m there

I’m currently looking for craft ideas for a business plan I’m working on and this looks great. I’d love to get permission from the original poster to use this idea if I can somehow? Thanks

I’ve been looking for something fun and colourful to do with the left over paper rolls. That would help sort out the pens and pencils too.

This is such an easy project – for kids that are a little older, you can leave them to make it themselves!
