DIY Indoor Mail Station

Is your mailbox outside your house cluttered? Of course not! Every day, the mail gets dropped in a specific place, then you pick up the mail, and remove it from the outside mailbox.
But then where does it go? The kitchen counter. The dining room table. The corner of the desk. What if you had an inside mailbox?
Then your mail would all collect neatly in one spot, and you’d be forced to empty it out when it got too full. You can make an inside mailbox from a Kleenex disposable towel box that is cute, and literally calls out, “Put the mail HERE!”
Make an inside mailbox from this, and get rid of the piles:

Make an inside mailbox from this, and get rid of the piles:
All you need is the box, washi tape, which we all seem to have these days, and a blackboard label from the office supply store. The mail now has a home of its own, looking sort of like a mini messenger bag.
The best thing is that there’s so much more counter space! This is so simple you could make one of these mail stations for each member of your family.

I love this “fix”. How did you make the slanted box?

They are called "Kleenex Hand Towels" and they come in this slanted box.

Have a question about this project?
I would love to try this, but where are the instructions? Thanks for sharing.
This is a great idea. But how did you get the side label off and cover the whole front to remove the hanging towel I see?
Why can't you explain your products instead of us going into a website?
