Gum Box Hanging Storage

Do you like to chew gum? Do you have old gum boxes lying around everywhere? (I kinda hope you don't...)

Then this little 1 minute project might be good for you!

The Idea is simple: Take an old gum box, and hang it for use as storage for your tiny desk objects.

(P.S. Sorry for the lousy pictures...)

-An old Gum Box (I'm using a Wrigley 5 Evolve Gum Box)
-A Push Pin
-Cards and/or small USB Drives

While this project doesn't require much prep work to make, you may decide to Pretty Up your box before hanging. Some recommendations may include printing off a "skin" for your box, colouring on the top, or even using construction paper or paint to change it's colour. I won't be doing any of this, however; that is your choice.

Perhaps the most important thing to do is clear out any garbage from your Gum Box (as well as any remaining gum. Get Chewing! )

The only other thing I would recommend is to flatten out the flap of your gum box, so that your storage will sit flat against the wall.

Simply pick the spot you want to hang your holder, then pop the push pin through it. If you are using the same box as me, I recommend popping the push pin through the center of the tab (as shown) this gives a generally clean look.

And look at that, you're done!

Hopefully this will help keep your desk or work space a little cleaner.
