Description

Keep your desk organized with this diy geometric cardboard organizer :)

Instructions

  1. Small 102863 2f2014 06 27 152307 template 2

    The template includes lots of triangles! You can easily draw this template by using a ruler and a pencil :)

  2. Small 102863 2f2014 06 27 152331 temp 3

    Carefully draw the template-3 on a piece of cardboard and cut it out of the cardboard using x-acto knife. The template includes 21 equilateral triangles, 6 extra triangles- which will be folded and glued over other triangles of the main pattern.

  3. Small 102863 2f2014 06 27 152407 org 3

    In the picture of this step I've marked 2 triangles, one with an orange circle and another with a green circle, fold the orange marked triangle over the green marked one, making sure that the 2 red spots (corners of both triangles) meet each other. Glue them.

    After gluing the first 2 triangles you'll have to cut the sides of 5 triangles, I've marked those sides with red lines in the picture of this step.

  5. Small 102863 2f2014 06 27 152445 20140110 0018255

    In the picture of this step I've marked 10 triangles, 5 with- a1,a2,a3,a4,a5 and 5 with- b1,b2,b3,b4,b5. You'll have to fold each a's over the b's.

    Consider the picture of this step, where I've folded the a1 marked triangle over the b1 marked triangle and glued them.

    Similarly I glue the rest of the triangles (a2 over b2, a3 over b3, a4 over b4 and a5 over b5). Allow the glue to dry and color the basket as you want. This cardboard organizer looks quite unique and at the same time you can keep you're stuffs organized in an artistic way! Enjoy!
