Matchbox Ring Organizer

Here's a simple ring organizer you can make with things that you most probably have lying around.

You will need:

• A large Match box
• A Piece of thermocol / foam  
• Some Fabric
• Rubber bands
• Pins 
• Glue
• Craft knife 

To make this ring organizer...

•  Cut a piece of thermocol / foam that would fit exactly into the matchbox.
• Cut the fabric to approximately twice the dimensions of the matchbox. 
• Mark ring slot on the thermocol as shown below. 

• Using the craft knife, make slits on the thermocol along the lines made, with depth half that of the thermocol piece. 

• Place the fabric on top of the thermocol piece and pin one ends of the fabric to the back of the thermocol. 

• With the back of the knife push the fabric into the slits made starting from the pinned end of the thermocol. 

• Now, remove the pins from the bottom, apply glue to sides and bottom of the thermocol and secure the fabric onto the thermocol with the rubber band. 

• Apply some glue to the base of the matchbox and place the thermocol into it. 

• Let the glue dry and the box is ready for use!

Origami Organizer Boxes

I use these organizer boxes a lot. To make compartments in drawers, on my desk, to store little items and so on...

I recently made a few of these to be kept on the table near the to drop the keys, coins and all those spare things. 

I used...

• Papers. (Any kind...I used paper from magazines) 
• A shoe box lid. (or A tray)
• Double sided tape.

1. To make the origami boxes, I followed the instructions from here
2. If you are using a shoe box lid, Cover it with paper/fabric of your choice. Also, line the inside of the lid. 
3. Once the boxes are made, I fixed a bit of double sided tape to the bottom of the paper boxes and placed them onto the shoe box lid to prevent them from moving. 

And...You're done!
