Take a sheet of paper, this can really be any size as long as it's a rectangle. For this I used half an A5 sheet.
Fold the paper in half width ways and then fold it back out.
Fold the two edges in to the middle line.
Fold it back out.
Fold in half length ways and then fold it back out.
Fold the two edges in to the middle line.
Fold up the corners so that they touch the first horizontal line.
Fold the paper over width ways so that the fold is along the tops of the corners, do this on either side.
Fold back the lines created by folding over the paper.
Pull out the tabs until the paper folds in to a box.
Write down all of your ideas on to a sheet of paper, cut them out and fill up the box.
To make a bigger box that you can use as a lid, leave a slight gab before the middle line at steps 3 and 6.
You can use any type of paper for this, card works best.

I have a box that I just stick all sorts of things that I could use or could inspire me. I also have a black notebook and I do heaps of collages. Its kinda a scrapbook cos I put tickets for things and stuff like that in it but its really good and inspires me.

What an amazingly good idea! I keep ideas written in notebooks, but I never seem to find them again, or the pages I wrote them on, end up buying more books and the cycle never ends!
