Make these organizers for your locker or desk with your favorite constellations!
Assemble the box Draw a line from corner to corner with a pencil Intersect the line 3 1/2" up from the base of the box on each side Draw a curve where the lines intersect on each side Repeat on the other side Connect the 3 1/2" lines on the sides of the box
Cut along the lines with a craft knife *This will give you two organizers Cut an extra piece of cardboard 3 1/2" by the width of your box plus 3" Score 1 1/2" in on each side and bend to create flaps Glue the flaps to the inside of the mouth of the box to create an area for pencils
Paint the entire box with Americana Multi-Surface Satin Paint in Black Tie When dry, lightly draw your constellations in pencil (I've added a constellation that you can print out, print it in gray scale to save ink on your computer) Mark over the lines with a silver Krylon Short Cuts metallic paint marker Connect the lines with stick-on rhinestones
Make hundreds of dots with the metallic paint pen to create the night sky
