Materials Needed
1. Empty shoe box
2. Pencils
3. Craft knife
Step 1: Measuring
Measure the approximate maximum diameter of the bangles /bracelets you are going to hang. This determines the spacing between the pencils. In my case, the average diameter of my bangles /bracelets was around 6.5cm, so I took the distance between slits to be 7cm.
Step 2: Making the slits
The width and height of each slit should be enough to accommodate the pencil comfortably.
I have taken the width of each slit to be 0.7cm and the height of each slit to be 1cm.
Distance between the wall of the box and slits A and B should be half of the average diameter of your bangle you had measured.
So in my case, the distance between the wall of the box and slits A and B was 3.5cm (7cm/2)
• Distance between the wall of the box and slits A and B is be 3.5cm.
• Distance between A,B and C,D is 7cm
• Distance between C,D and E,F is 7cm
• Distance between E,F and H,G is 7cm
• Distance between the wall of the box and the last slits H and G is be 3.5cm.

Make slits on the box with the mentioned spacing
using a craft knife.
Step 3: Placing the
pencils
Now, we are
almost done.
Place the
pencils on the slits you've made and you are good to go!
UPDATE: Like Marmaris crafts mentioned, this could also be used to organize ribbons and tapes!

Note:
- · You can cover the shoe box with paper or fabric of your choice.
- · You can use rods of any sort instead of the pencil.
