Organize Your Miniature Supply Drawers With Printable Or Recycled Paper Boxes

Like many of you I'm starting the New Year by cleaning up my supplies. After looking at the price of drawer organizers, I came home and made some of my own using the simple origami box technique. If you've never made paper boxes before, these paper storage box instructions show you how to make them from recycled paper (old calendar photos or larger cards work well).

To make it easier to learn how to fold the boxes, I set up a printable box base and top linked to the instructions, which have fold lines included. You can make drawer organizers or approximately 3 inch square boxes using these instructions, then go on to use your skills to turn recycled paper into the sizes of boxes you need.
