Such an easy project that your kids can help you with. Let them chose the colours and help you paint the egg carton and toilet rolls and they will be inspired to keep their desk tidy. Great with the start of term 4 of school.


Material

  • 1 egg carton
  • 12 toilet paper rolls
  • assorted paints, sticky tape, paintbrushes.

Method

  1. Cut the egg carton in two and keep the lid.
  2. Paint the toilet rolls in the colours you want - we chose rainbow colours. Paint the base of the egg carton as well. Let dry.
  3. When dry, sticky tape the toilet rolls to the base of the egg carton and to each other (by double siding the tape) for added stability.
  4. Let your child add their stationary in.

Notes

Sparkle it up by adding stickers or glitter glue if you like.

  • I Saw this cardboard desk organiser, so i made it to tidy up my home office and I’m very pleased with it. It’s easy to assemble, sturdy and spacious enough to hold all my stationery and accessories. It has a simple and elegant design that matches well with my decor. It’s also eco-friendly and recyclable, which is a plus for me. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a practical and affordable way to organise their desk.

  • What a wonderful idea. I’m glad that we are still getting ideas for using old toilet rolls. In some places they are prevented from using them in organized craft because they have spent time in a toilet area!
