DIY Storage Box From Recycled Materials

MISSION: No more mess!

I needed the storage box for my bathroom to put on the washing machine, because very often in this place mess has been accumulated.

Why buy a ugly plastic box, if I have garage full of materials for recycling?

So, i decided I'll Do It mYself.

It should be good, reliable construction and besides, eco&stylish ;)

• wood screws

• wood glue (like vicol, titenbond, et.c.)

• some pieces of particle board, plywood (from old furniture) or floorboard

• (optonal: bamboo sticks form old bamboo blind)

• old wood blinds (IKEA Lindmon)

• hand drill

• jigsaw

• measuring tape

• sandpaper with holder

• carpenter's square

• some clamps

As I mentioned I needed a box to place on the washing machine.

You may need something else, so personally adjust the dimensions.

When you know the dimensions, the comes a time for cutting...

Remember to proper determine the dimensions of the plates.

Check out twice before cutting. Murphy's laws are working! ;)

...with some glue and screws.

Glue of the outer, decorative layer (from old blinds)...

Cut the protruding ends. After that use sandpapers.

Optional You can make a bamboo edge cover.

The most difficult stage was cut along a bamboo stick, but finally I did it with a kitchen knife.

You can do it too. You only need a lot of patience and ...a lot of patience;)

I used waterproof gloss varnish for wood.

At the end I installed the hinges, furniture dumper and handle.

MISSION COMPLETE.

Now I can keep things in order ;)
