Scissor and Paper Edger Holder

I wanted a way to organize and store the specialty scissors used for trimming paper for scrap booking and other projects. I came up with the idea presented here.

Approximate Time: 1 to 2 hours

Supplies:

• recyclable corrugated cardboard
• cutting tools (craft knife, box cutter)
• band saw
• glue
• cardstock
• decorative elements

Instructions:

1. First, cut corrugated cardboard into 4x4 inch squares.

2. Use band saw if available, if not, use craft/box knife.


 
3. Cut as many pieces as you need. My project required 3 pieces for each scissor, plus 2 end pieces.


 
4. Glue pieces together with white glue. I added 4x4in. pieces of cardstock between every third piece as separators.

5. Place end pieces on cube, then add weight to the cube and let dry for a few hours.


 
6. Decorate the cube if desired, use colored paper, cloth, collage pictures from magazines, etc.
