Recycled Cardboard Craft: DIY Storage Box

How much do you enjoy recycling? I’m always looking for ways to recycle and upcycle available materials. This time I used small cardboard boxes for this easy yet exciting DIY storage box project. I recycled 3 boxes in one day and all of them are super useful. Keeping my stationaries in one, skincare products in one and face towels in the other one. You can find both written instructions with picture (step by step tutorial) and video tutorials on our YouTube channel. Go ahead and check them out!

These recycled storage boxes are not just useful but also great as home decor. We hope you enjoy crafting them as much as we did. 

Elements: Recycle a Cardboard Box Into a Storage Box

List of Supplies:

  • Cardboard box
  • Jeans or any fabric
  • Jute rope
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun

Instructions: DIY Storage Box

DIY: Recycle a Cardboard Box Into a Storage Box

Step 1: Preparing and covering the box

You can either cut off the flaps or simply fold them inside, laying flat with the 4 sides of the cardboard box. Select and cut out a piece of fabric big enough to cover halfway through the outer sides and the 4 inner sides of the box.

Step 2: Finishing the cover

Apply hot glue to secure the cover fabric with the box. The fabric on the inside should touch the bottom side of the box. Covering the entire outer side of the box won’t be necessary for this craft.

Step 3: Cutting the bottom fabric

Measure and cut out a piece of fabric an inch bigger on all sides than the bottom side of the box.

Step 4: Preparing the bottom fabric

Fold in the extra 1 inch on all 4 sides and apply hot glue to secure them.

Step 5: Covering the bottom side of the box

Apply hot glue along 4 sides of the bottom part (inside the box) and then place the prepared fabric from the previous step carefully on the glued side. The inner side of the box is now nicely covered. 

Just in case you’re having difficulty with the previous steps you can also check out the video tutorial on our YouTube channel

The storage box from our video tutorial is slightly different from the storage box we’re crafting here. We attached handles with this one.

Step 6: Wrapping with jute rope

Now simply cover the outer side of the box with jute rope. Apply hot glue while wrapping the rope around the box.

Step 7: Complete the jute wrapping

You can cover the entire outer surface of the box or you can keep an inch intact. I think keeping an inch intact (shows the fabric) looks nice.

Step 8: Attach the border and handles

Although this step is optional but you can still go for it if you have the natural white rope. 

And done! Don’t forget to share your feedback and we’d love to see if you craft one too.
