Step-by-step
Step 1
You can see all the materials you’ll need at a glance in our photo. Instead of a ribbon dispenser, you could use any other suitable cardboard box with a lid. You will then need to cut out the round holes with the cutter (which is actually quite a challenge!).
Step 2
Remove the lid and cut out a slot measuring 5 x 3 cm at the top centre of one of the narrow ends.
Step 3
Next, place the multi-socket adapter in the box and bring the cable out through the side opening that you cut out in step 2.
Step 4
Plug in all the cables to be housed in the box and feed them out through the holes.
Step 5
Place the lid on the box and use the edding 3000 marker to decorate it with words and designs in whatever style you choose. You could even make a template and transfer the motif onto the box with the aid of carbon paper.
