Closed Book/Magazine/Newspaper Holder

Earlier I made the type of book/newspaper/magazine holder as shown in the first photo. The problem with this is it almost falls apart from the vertical open side. One can tie the flanks with a spring or a used shoelace.

This time I have attempted the box type holder.

You need...

1. a used plastic edible oil can or milk can (pic # 2,3,&4)

2. a large paper cutter (1st pic)

3. a sketch pen or a marker, and

4. waste paper or piece of clothe for cleaning out left over oil/milk

Take a sketch pen or marker and draw straight lines around top of the can where the curves end. Simple.

Carefully cut the upper part of the can from the drawn lines. It will look like in the pic here.

Clean the can from inside with a waste paper first and then wash it. Wipe the inside with a dry clothe and let it dry in the open air.

The rack is ready.
