How to Make Your Own Super Cute Desk Organizer

Hi guys! After a long time of having a super untidy and loatheble desk, I decided to #RDIY my own super cute ocean blue ombre desk organizer aka a box with dividers and I just love how it turned out and I am loving it so so much. Well, I think I always talk too much , so without further a due, let's just get started.

So here are the steps:

• Get any type of unused box you can find in your own house. I recommend using a shoe box as they are of my desirable size.

*DO NOT THROW AWAY THE COVER. WE NEED IT TOO.

• So first of all, choose a colour that you want your box to be. I chose blue, but I am not sure what type of blue. (I just know it looks like black.) P.S I used poster colour paint.

• Paint your box with a paintbrush or you can just use some spray paint or acrylic paint if you have it, but I don't have it, so I just used poster colour paint.

• When you paint make sure that they are no stickers or any type of paper on the box as it will cause a lumpy surface like so.

• If anything like this happens, just use a tissue to clean the surface. Oh and remember to pile newspapers under the box before you start painting.

• Let the box dry for how long it takes for the paint to dry under the newspaper or it will be a messy treat:(

• When your box is completely dry, take the cover of the box and measure how much you need to make the little dividers.

• Cut according to the line to form a little square.

• Place the square inside the box to make sure the width and length is correct. If not draw a long across to correct the size of the divider.

• Sorry I forgot to take a picture of this part, but take a piece of coloured paper and cut according to the size of the dividers, then glue the paper onto the dividers. After that, you can write motivational quotes or anything you prefer onto the paper and it looks so customised.(Victory fingers.)
• Then, it is time to take out your hot glue gun and glue the dividers into place.

*Compress both sides of the box like this to make it stronger.

• Well, the last part is totally up to you, but I hot glued some white buttons onto the box for a contrast of colour and I think it looks cool. You can totally add stickers or anything that you like.

I taped  my box on my wall as I thought it would stay there, but I was wrong. the box fell 9 over 10 times and I was so fed up with it in the end I decided to make it a desk organizer.

So I hope you liked this #RDIY. I am running late for an activity now so I can't write any more stuff. I guess this is it for this week's blog post. Stay tuned for more next week. ;)
