How to make Tampon Box Cork Board - DIY Craft Project from Craftbits.com

  • Empty Tampon boxes
    Craft Glue
    Labels

Finally something to do with those wonderfully handy flip top tampon boxes.

Take a store bought cork board and your tampon boxes and make this niffty organizer for your beads, paper clips, stamps,buttons and much much more.

Take your tampon box and if you are going to label it do so whilst it is not glued onto the board. You could print your own labels for this or just hand print the label then glue it or sticky tape it on.

Next using a strong craft glue or a hot glue gun adhere each of the boxes onto one side of the cork board. Use as many or as little boxes as you need to oragnize your stuff.

this looks good & is a neat idea...but I wonder how those flip tops would open whilst being glued to the board...?

The flip-top ones are only Tampax Pearl, as far as I've seen. Cute idea.

Neat idea. Handy for keeping the small beads, bits and bobkins for sewing and crafts. I have an old sweater the hubby "felted" by accident, cut to fit I could add velcro tabs to the boxes to make them portable to where the bits are needed.

Wish our tampons in the UK came in handy boxes like these! Can you give me a project to store my tampons in once they have fallen out of their useless (UK) cartons?!
