A little paper tray for your desk.

On your desk

• A 15 cm card-stock square
• A ruler and pencil
• A glue stick
• Scissors, with adult help

Let’s make it

1. Divide the square into nine equal 5 cm squares using two vertical and two horizontal lines.
2. Fold along every line and reopen. The middle square will be the bottom of your tray.
3. With an adult, make four cuts: from the top and bottom edges along the vertical lines, stopping at the first horizontal fold.
4. Lift all four sides. Fold the corner flaps inward and glue them behind the neighbouring sides to make an open tray.
5. Let it dry and add a hand-drawn label. Use it for lightweight paper, not liquids, food or heavy items.
