Today I want to share with you a story on how to make a pencil organizer with your own hands.

Recently, I was fascinated by the cartonnage technique. And I didn't expect that works out of cardboard can be as strong as wood. Well, you need to save them from getting wet.

Materials and tools:

• beer cardboard 1.5 mm thickness
• Moment pencil glue
• Titan glue
• two sheets of Tilda paper
• clamps
• sandpaper
• wax
• brush)
• acrylic paint
• watercolour paper
• utility knife
• pencil
• ruler
• cutting mat

Download a template and cut it out.

Make a pattern out of thick paper.

Cut out 6 rectangles for the sides and 4 smaller parts.

Glue them in between, big rectangles consist of 3 layers, the smaller ones of two.

Glue the front and back walls the same way.

After drying, sand the edges of the blanks.

Combine the parts together:

Cut out connecting joints out of watercolour paper:

Glue them:

Glue such joints to the bottom:

Let all details dry:

Glue the top and leave to dry.

Glue the connecting joints to the bottom inside:

Cut out three details for the bottom, they're of different sizes:

Get ready to join the top and the bottom:

To make a partition, measure the distance inside:

Glue all parts of the partition to get the necessary thickness:

Cut out ovals to make a frontal decoration:

I changed the picture in the oval because I didn't like the first one :)

My daughter immediately took the organizer for makeup brushes :)
