Easy Way to Make a Storage Box for Hair Equipment

60 Minutes
Easy
All I need is an oblong cardboard box and few common tools:- pen- ruler- scissors or paper trimmer- adhesive tape or glue- fabric or decorative sticker roll Steps: 1) Measure the shelf of your bathroom cupboard (length-width-height), in order to make your cardboard box in the desirable size. 2) Draw out the general shape (image 2). It will look like a ladder with three steps (!). Then, cut both sides in this shape (image 3). 3) Cut the leftover cardboard pieces in rectangles to make the compartments (image 4). 4) Put them inside the box to become dividers and stabilize them with tape or a strong glue for all purpose (image 5). 5) Cover the box with decorative sticker or fabric (image 6). 6) Put it in your cupboard and organize easily your hair equipment: hair brushes and combs, hairdryer, hair straightening and curls irons, hair sprays e.t.c. (image 1) Tips: * For stability and long-term durance, choose a box by stiff cardboard. I have mine more than one year and it's like new! * Use materials that you already have: boxes from packages of old devices, fabric from old clothes, homemade flour glue to cover the box with fabric!

Great idea, usually I throw my hairdryer in it's box under the bed. This way it will fit right along my dresser and I can just whip it out.
