DIY- Kids Book Storage

As the kids enter schools, the one thing which gets added year-on-year in our homes are books-  school books, notebooks, extra books, story books, activity books, previous year's books, project books and worksheet books etc. And few, like me, preserve their own books too, from their colleges and universities. 

Their storage is messy and often becomes a huge challenge. Taking inspiration from a file folder (in a mall), I made a DIY book folder, during first lockdown, from a big surf box. I used ARIEL Matic large box. (Wonderful surf it is!!!). Moreover, the box is sturdy and durable and it can take good amount of weight. After all the surf packets are used, don't throw away the box. Make it a great book storage avenue.

Let's see the method: 

1. Take the box and cut all its flaps.

2. We get a rectangular box. On the side with smaller width, mark two points, approximately 12 cm high, from the bottom. Join the points and make a straight line.

3. Now, extend the points to the side and draw a straight line till opposite corner on both sides.

4. Cut, cut, cut!!! along the line.

5. Your DIY book storage is ready. Cover it with colourful papers or gift wrapping sheets.

You can also use them as organizers inside your wardrobes. They can be used to segregate books of different types. They can be used to store some board games or kids games. They can also be used to save important files and folders sequentially and systematically. 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Happy DIY!!!
