DIY Magazine Boxes

Sometimes it's really messy to have too much magazines in our house. Magazine takes up a lot of space and the best way of clean this mess is by recycling it or throwing it. But maybe some will feel reluctant to throw it. So why not make use of those magazines to make something new. In this tutorial I will show you how to make this colourful magazine box.


What you need :
Magazine 
Glue


Step 1

Rip out the pages from the old magazine. Then take one page and fold it a few times but make sure don't make it too thick.




Step 2

Apply glue to where you stop folding the page. Then cut it out and you will get your first strip. 




Step 3

Repeat step 1 and 2 to get the magazine stripes. To make this box you will need to use many magazine stripes so repeat the process. 




Step 4

Roll the stripes into circle. Before you roll it, apply the glue all along one side of the strip. The stripes may get away when you roll it so you might need to hold it longer or you can try to clip it so it would stay in place.




Step 5

Continue the process of gluing and rolling. This would be the base of the box. 




Step 6

Repeat step 4 and 5 to make another roll of magazine that will later be the lid of the box. You should make it slightly bigger than the base. 

Step 7

Measure 7.5 cm on the magazine page then fold and glue it to get a wider strip. (7.5 cm is the width of the strip) This strip is used to make the side of the box therefore you should make it thicker to give additional support. You can decide how tall you want your box be so the measurement doesn't matter.




Step 8

Apply glue to the side of the base and then wrap the wider strip around the base of the box. You need to make sure that your strip is long enough so that it fits the base of the box. You can decorate your box by using the magazine stripes and stick it outside of the box. Make sure that it fits the lid after you stick the stripes. 




Step 9 

Next, measure 2.2 cm on the magazine page. (2.2 cm is the width of the strip) Then fold and glue it to make another strip. This strip is used to make the lid. The measurement doesn't matter as long as it works best for your box.

Step 10

Finally, apply glue to another roll of magazine. Then wrap it with the strip we made earlier to make the lid of the box.



Now you have finally done it and you can use this box to put your stuffs. I hope you will enjoy it.
