6. Modular Desktop Catchall Tray Set
Interlocking, shallow modular trays bring order to top drawers or wide desk surfaces, dividing scissors, staples, sticky notes, and correction tape into designated zones.
- Materials: Snack boxes or thin cardboard sheets, craft knife, PVA glue, and bookbinding tape.
- How to Build: Cut flat sheets into shallow boxes with 1.5-inch wall heights in various square and rectangular proportions (e.g., 3×3″, 3×6″, and 6×6″). Ensure the dimensions align so they nest snugly alongside one another in a grid.
- Styling Tip: Line the tray bottoms with vibrant scrapbooking paper or geometric contact paper to add a pop of color when items are removed.
