Everyday we always wanted to make and keep our room neat and tidy. We have a very affordable workshop to make which is the modular storage unit. Now we have somewhere to store clothes, books, toys and etc and these storage units look so much more interesting than regular tubs and shelves.
With just a few cuts and some simple folds, the rectangular box takes on a whole new form that is very sturdy and makes for a handy storage space.
Materials:
- Cardboard box
- Re-clips
- Safe-saw/ Scissors/ Cutter
The picture shows that the creator uses Makedo parts like Makedo Re-clips and Makedo Safe-saw from mymakedo.com, if these are not available in your area you may use an alternative parts like cable tie or any ordinary tie instead of Makedo reclips and scissors or cutter for Makedo Safe-saw.
Step 1: Create new folds
Gather your materials. Each storage unit will use one medium sized cardboard box and approx. 12 re-clips. Begin by flattening out the boxes along their existing folds.
Next we want to turn the rectangular box into a hexagon shape. We’ve done this by making a new fold in the box on each of the two larger faces. Use the point-end of the Safe-saw to score a new fold line half way through the wider faces of the flattened box.
You can now stand the box up and bend it into a hexagonal shape.
Step 2: Cut new flaps
Cut along each of the new fold lines, to match the length of the existing flaps on the box. Turn over and repeat on the other end of the box as well.
Now you should have a six-sided box with flaps top and bottom.
Step 3: Fold and connect flaps
Fold the flaps inwards as shown. At one end, connect the overlapping flaps using Re-clips. Join multiple units together.
Step 4: Join together to complete
Assemble the units together and fold over the flaps at the open end of each unit to make the cardboard neat and sturdy.
Connect using Re-clips.
Your Modular Cardboard Storage Unit is complete. Repeat the process to add more compartments to suit your space and storage requirements.
