How-to: customized cubbie

We love how our wall bulletin organizer dressed up our work space so much that we created a coordinating cubbie to hold pens, notes and of course, our PS Swatchbook. Follow our steps to create a desk organizer of any size, and cover it in your favorite wrapping paper. A great back to school craft to get your tweens and teens organized or spruce up your own desk (adults can celebrate back to school, too!). --Annie PS colors: peacock & paper bag Latest fave: Spritzer Rubber Stamp Cleaner and Rubber Stamp Cleaning Pad Materials needed: How to PDF 8 1/2" x 11" Chipboard Decorative Paper Xacto & Cutting Mat or Guillotine Trimmer Ruler Double Stick Tape & Regular Tape Scissors Instructions: Use the instructions below as a guide to customize cubbies to whatever height & width you prefer to suit your own organizational needs!
