Shoebox Bookends
These shoebox bookends are fun and easy to make. They will help you keep your books organized on your desk, shelf, or night table.
What you need:
shoe box
scissors
pencil
ruler
tape or glue
markers, wrapping paper, paint or wallpaper remnants
What you do: 1. You do not need the lid of the box to make this craft. Cut away one of the long sides of the box.
2. With the cut away side of the box facing you, mark the center of the opposite long side using the ruler.
3. Draw a line from the center mark straight towards you. Draw another line from the left top corner to your center mark and then one from the right top corner to your center mark.
4. Cut along the lines you have drawn. So that you have two bookends.
5. Tape or glue any loose edges. You are now ready to decorate your bookends. Be as creative as you like using markers, wrapping paper, paint or wallpaper remnants.
