DIY Accessories Box @ Thursday, May 23, 2013
I've always wanted to buy an accessories box but the prices really scare me off -.- $29.90 for an accessories box are you freaking serious?!?! I will never pay that amount for a plastic box. Desperation brings out the best and worst of people LOL fortunately, it's the former in this case.

Materials you need:
Plastic box from Daiso, $2
Toilet roll/ kitchen towel roll, free
Wrapping paper, 30cents
Old cardboard, free
Sponge, 50cents?
Scissors
Scotch tape/glue
Ruler
I found kitchen towel roll, cardboard and sponge at home so my cost price is only $2 lolol WIN.
Step 1: Wrap the piece of sponge with wrapping paper. This is going to be your earrings holder.
I used origami paper from Daiso instead of the usual wrapping paper to wrap the sponge.
After you wrapped it:
Next, we're gonna do our bangles/bracelets holder!
Again, wrap your ugly toilet/kitchen towel roll with wrapping paper. I'm using kitchen towel roll because my Daiso box is longer than the toilet roll.
Measure the length of your accessories box and cut your toilet/kitchen roll accordingly! It is best to give 0.5cm allowance because we want the roll to fit into the box snugly.
How it looks like with bangles/bracelets on:
Lastly, we're gonna make little compartments to store your necklaces, rings etc.
Cut out small rectangles from a piece of cardboard. Make sure that your measurements are accurate because you want the cardboard pieces to fit snugly like the bangle holder. Cardboard is ugly so make sure you wrap the pieces of cardboard with your favourite wrapping paper!
Lastly, fit in your bangle holder and your accessories box is done! :D
Good luck!
