Be creative and give your desk a little bit more personality
In our last blogpost (office space makeover) we introduced 3 office-trends to you, which we hope inspired you to take on a little makeover yourself.
In this DIY we show you step by step how to create a card stand out of an old book.
Here is what you need:
-
A pocketbook or A5 Book
-
scissors
-
Tape or glue
-
Black white and black paper
Let’s start:
-
Cover your book with it the white piece of paper, just the way you would bind a book for school.
(make sure the edges are all folded nicely and tucked in perfectly)
-
Open the book up in the middle and start folding the right and the left corne into the middle until you get a perfect triangle. The tip will probably kind of fold double because the paper in a book is not a perfect square, but that ok.Than take the next page and fold that page horizontal in the middle, so you basicly fold the page in half.
-
Repeat these two fold after each other until all pages are fold. (I usually fold the one half of the book completely and then start with the second half.
-
After folding all Pages you have to options to finish the book. You actually can rip of the cover (than of course you don’t need step 1) or you glue a colored or patterns piece of paper into the inside of the cover. I went with black. You can use this area for some notes or a lovely quote etc.
-
Done, now you simply decorate and organize your business cards, invites or notes in this lovely card stand.
Voilà, easy DIY to be creative and personaliz your workspace!
I hope you enjoyed this little DIY
