Hii friends,

It also consists of small rotatable poster colors Scroller. This box is very easy to made. I made some drawings along with measurements to understand easily.
The main problem is my files and images are missing in my device and im stuck in my home due to lockdown. So im not having enough pictures to show you but, i will try to make you understand easily.

* Read the dimensions and rules carefully in the picture otherwise it confuses you.
* Cut the cardboard pieces according to the given dimensions.
* Stripes indicates that you should cut on it.
* Assemble the pieces of sides like bottom, front, right, left. Back, but not top board, just keep it aside.
* Stick it with a glue or hot glue, I prefer hot glue because due to more strong and removable.
* All the dimensions are in centimeters.

* Scroller is which holds the poster color bottle with rotating nature.
* Draw three circles on the cardboard such as
Circle c1 = 4cm of diameter

* Paste those pieces in between circles c1 and c2 with equal distance.
* Now take an old pen and remove the cap, take another older pen of different model.
* The cap of first pen, fix it to the second pen, the cap should be freely rotatable. It called pen formula in this instructable.
* Attach the cap to the circle c2 on centre, and attach the pen to the circle c3 by cutting into a small size 4cm.
