Little Trash Can
Repair and reuse contest, with this task I made a little trash can with a paddle. It can be used for desks, kitchen table top, coffee tables, dressing tables, bedside tables. It can also storage cosmetics and toiletries to keep your countertop neat.
Supplies
- Scissors

Finger Paddle
First, you have to cut the cardboard to a piece that is measured 8x5 cm by 6 cm
- cut two little square pieces the size you think it be right, make holes with a tooth pick so it can go trough
- make the paddle 8x3
- Than make sure that you put the tooth pick through the paddle
- cut both ends of the tooth pick
Putting Together the Box
- Cut a piece of cardboard that is 6x 13cm and glue it as the back
- Now do two pieces which those will be the sides, cut them 8.5x 13cm
- make the front piece 8.5x 13 cm but also cut a little square so you can see the paddle
Making the Inside Box
- cut two pieces that are 8.5 x 8 cm
- now make the long pieces 8.5x 5.5 cm
- finally glue all four pieces
- And put this box inside the other box, with NO GLUE
side note, I recommend cardboard glue
