Desk Organizer

This instructable will teach you how to make a desk organizer!! 

The materials you need for this project includes: 
shoebox (approximately 12x4)
hot glue gun
scissors/exacto knife
cardboard
ruler/tape measure
wooden cylinder (Height: 7in, Diameter: 1.5cm)
paper clips (2 Large)

Measure out dividers (2) to be placed in shoebox. Use ruler to make both dividers 4inx4in.

Cut dividers with scissors (or exacto knife) based on measurements from the previous step.

Measure out piece of cardboard for paper tray with ruler (8.5inx11in).

Cut cardboard paper tray with scissors (or exacto knife) based on measurements from above.

Glue one of the dividers 1.5in away from one end of the box inside of the box.

**It is very helpful to always glue on the inside of the box so it looks aesthetically pleasing**

Glue the other divider 2.5in away from one end of the box inside of the box.

The space between the 2 dividers should be about 8.5in, glue the paper tray inside of this space.

In the corner of the 2.5in space in the box, use hot glue gun to glue the wooden cylinder in its upright position.

With excess cardboard, use scissors to cut two 2inx8in pieces of cardboard.

Cut four 2inx4in pieces of cardboard using scissors.

Glue 2 of the 2inx4in pieces of cardboard to the 2inx8in pieces of cardboard at the perpendicular ends (both facing the same direction).

Connect the set of stands to opposite sides of the box’s base so it is able to connect to the lab bench.

**These stands might be slightly flimsy, feel free to double them with excess cardboard to make them sturdier**

Bend 2 paper clips in “J”-shaped hooks.

Insert the paper clips through the front face of the cardboard 8in apart so both “J”-hooks are able to hold the ruler(s).
