How to Make a Cardboard Box Storage System
If you have a lot of small supplies to store but would rather not invest in a permanent storage system yet, you can make your own from boxes and add to it as your collection grows. It's not the best, and sturdy system, but it's flexible, easy and inexpensive, and that might be just what you're looking for!
Steps

Get the boxes. If you can't find them locally, look online. You can use any measurements you want, as long as four long boxes (drawers) fit into one cubic box (compartment). Here are some suggested measurements and quantities: 25 to 500 cubic boxes - 13 x 13 x 13 inches (33 x 33 x 33 cm) 25 to 900 long boxes - 12 x 6 x 6 inches (30.5 x 15.25 x 15.25 cm)

Assemble the cubic boxes into a shelving unit. Cut the flaps on one side.Make a Cardboard Box Storage System Step 2Bullet1 Version 2.jpg Tape the cubes together - front, back and side.Make a Cardboard Box Storage System Step 2Bullet2 Version 2.jpg When taping is completed, put the completed shelving unit against a wall.Make a Cardboard Box Storage System Step 2Bullet3 Version 2.jpg

Assemble the long boxes, which will be drawers. Cut out a square at one end of the box. Four drawers fit in one compartment.

Load your inventory in the drawers. Write the description on the box. Then, put the drawers in so that the order makes sense.Make a Cardboard Box Storage System Step 4Bullet1 Version 2.jpg Sort the drawers alphabetically.Make a Cardboard Box Storage System Step 4Bullet2.jpg Alternatively, sort the drawers so that things you use most often are at arm level, easiest to reach, and things that are less frequently used are lower or higher. Slide the drawers into the compartments.Make a Cardboard Box Storage System Step 4Bullet4 Version 2.jpg Use compartments without the drawers for larger objects.Make a Cardboard Box Storage System Step 4Bullet5 Version 2.jpg Use small containers to store small objects.
