In order to decorate the box, you need to stock up with scissors, a ruler, a simple pencil, and a centimeter tape. How to make a box for storing things yourself? First of all, you need to prepare the box itself.

Although, on the other hand, it is better to choose a box of such sizes that it would fit for a certain place. The height of the rim should not be more than ten centimeters. It will be convenient for all sorts of trivia. In extreme cases - they can be cut using a pencil and ruler. It is enough just to make markings on the side walls. Important: make markings on the inside of the box. Measure from the bottom of the box no more than ten centimeters, and after that - make markings with a pencil. From each edge make one mark, and then connect in one line.
It's easy to make a box for storing things yourself. But, for starters, you need to strengthen the walls of the box. This can be done using various methods.
The simplest and most common way is to fold the doors inwards. For this, you need to mark a certain height of the box and make a mark with a pencil. What to do if the cardboard is corrugated? Then it's better to hold the blunt side of the scissors with the blunt side. In this case, you will bend the material along the lines you have chosen. The cardboard should be flat against the walls. In the event that the size is somewhere wrong, it is recommended to fix it - apply the markup again, as well as bend it. Surplus should be cut with scissors. After that, proceed to gluing the workpiece. Glue necessarily apply to the entire surface, and later - tightly press the seconds twenty to thirty.
The side walls can be strengthened in another way, if you cut off the upper leaves, take the cardboard and cut out the strip. Thus, its width will be equal to the height of the side wall, and the length to the perimeter of the side walls. On the strip it is necessary to make a special marking: to measure with the help of a ruler the length of a short sidewall, and later - long. To bend it is necessary in those places where there is a marking. The edge must be glued inside the box in case the cardboard is flat.
