Make Cheap, Easy Cardboard Small Parts Storage Organizers

How to make small boxes (at a very low cost) solve a need and organize small parts. I make these boxes as needed, so it doesn't become an overwhelming chore all at once. It's a good way to store small parts in the workshop. And we are reuseing cardboard that otherwise might not be recycled.

Common tools, box cutter or mat cutting knife, straight edge, ruler, clamps and glue.

Here I've cut 5 or 6 blanks, but could be cutting out 10, 20 or more.

At lines drawn at 1 1/4 inches around blank, score with the bone scorer.

On the scored lines, edges are folded up, and the end flaps are folded inward and glued with clamps.

Here is seen the results of our labors...several small boxes, some with dividers, ready to use.
