Thing a Day 7: Low Tech Reuse


Thought you'd see just me soldering and blinking lights, didn't you? Today, I went low-tech: making cardboard storage bins!

I saw some $0.47 bins over at Make: Online, and I realized that, first, those would be useful -- and second, I had all the materials I needed to make them. Those materials consist of scissors, some cardboard U-Haul boxes that I should've recycled two months ago, and some white glue. After drawing up a template on paper, I simply cut out the boxes and glued the back.

Since the bins are far sturdier than I expected, I'm keeping them! I might even make more, since I can make four per medium sized U-Haul box.

(Rough bin dimensions: 4"x6"x4".)
