Mini Gift Box

📦 Wondering what to do with the cardboard you have at home?
In this video, you’ll learn how to make the same mini gift box using three different thicknesses of corrugated cardboard: 1.5mm, 4mm, and 7mm.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned crafter, this project is a great way to practice precise folding and edge-finishing—all with minimal materials!

Perfect for small gifts, packaging, or just learning new techniques.

Book-shaped Box

Keyboard Case & Stand

🎹 Mini keyboards tend to get dusty when not in use, right?
In this video, I upcycled corrugated cardboard to create a custom-fit case for the AKAI MPK mini play — but with a twist!

What started as a simple dust cover turned into something more:
A foldable lid that transforms into a tablet stand.

HAKOZEN Box & Tray

Do you know Hako-Zen?

It’s a traditional Japanese item from the Edo period to the early Showa era (approximately 1603–1950).
Each person had their own personal set of dishes, stored in a box that also served as a tray and a mini table.
Because people traditionally sat on the floor, this box fulfilled the role of a table in daily life.

Inspired by the smart functionality of Hako-Zen, I’ve reimagined it for modern use—
as a multi-purpose organizer for art supplies, tools, or everyday items.
Give it a try and customize it to suit your lifestyle.

Desk Organizer Drawer

It’s the third drawer design I’ve shared—and this time, the drawer height itself becomes the sliding rail!

🎯 What’s special about this design?
• New rail structure: the drawer height doubles as the slide
• Shallow-depth drawers for better visibility and access
• Clean, minimal design you can personalize with color or decorations
• Compact and functional—perfect for creative workspaces

Mini Cabinet w/ Door #5

Cabinets with double-opening doors like this are traditionally used in Japan for Butsudan (Buddhist altars). They are designed to stay open during the day and close at night, which is why magnets are hidden inside to hold the doors in both open and closed positions.

Box with Lid

a basic box with a lid—
but with a twist! We’ll explore how to create a seamless lid stopper using the unique properties of corrugated cardboard.

By applying a method used to hide corrugated edges, the stopper—including the raised locking tab—is made from a single folded sheet, both inside and out.
This not only saves material but also results in a clean, minimal look with no visible seams.
