Cheap make your own paper holder/ July 3, 2013

I decided that it was about time to stop piling all of my paper up by my door in my computer room. I am too lazy/cheap to buy special shelves, and my "bookshelf" is so full that I am stacking two layers high and three layers deep, but they're all books that are important to me (like, series and favorites, plus a few textbooks from school).
Anyway, after deliberating what to do with the smaller paper I have for scrapbooking, I finally came across a box from a grocery store box-bin that I thought would fit the 8x11.5 papers perfectly. Sure enough, I cut the box flaps off and put them through slits I made in the side with a boxcutter, and the fit was perfect. It is by no means measured, so there is a slant to the box. Maybe, eventually, I'll paint it or something, but for now I'm looking for utility over aesthetic.

It was so easy, I'm just going to show you pictures of the semi-final stage (not including painting/design on the outside):

I imagine that with a 12x12 top, or a 12x12+ box you could also make one for 12x12 papers.
