This is a tidy little box that is cool yet useful. It's also a great way to recycle all of your used sticky notes at work. Just make sure the boss isn't watching.

You will need:
Square sticky notes
Scissors
a pen
your hands

Peel Off a Sticky Note With the Sticky Part Up.

Now Fold to First Crease From Point and Do This on All Four Points.

It Should Look Like This Now. You Will Notice That There Are Four Squares Near the Center That Make a Square, This Is the Bottom of Your Box.

Remember the Four Squres in the Middle? You Will Cut on the Crease to the Corner of the Four Squares. You Will Do FOUR Cuts on TWO Opposing Ends.

Look Closely at the Cuts. There Are Only FOUR.

Fold in to Make the Side.

Now Fold the Opposite Side As Shown. You Should Have Two Points Touching Inside and the General Shape of the Box With Two Tabs Sticking Out.

The Two Tabs Will Then Be Folded in to Create the Remaining Sides. All Points Should Be at the Bottom of the Box Touching With No Overlap.

You can make two and have a lidded box.

  • If you're smarter than the average bear you'll figure out how to do it without the cuts.
