back-to-school ikea hack


Technically not a hack, but more like a repurposing. Or just putting non-kitchen stuff in the box I found in the kitchen department. Yes, it's that time of year again and after last year's last-minute scramble, I vowed to be early this year. Hence, it's the first day of August and the back-to-school list is complete. Victory! After much dissatisfaction with the cheapie mainstream pencil boxes available (nothing fits! ugly and limited colors!), I discovered Ikea KRUS can become an excellent pencil box for school. 

Lego stickers not included.

dear pellon


Dear Pellon, yes you are great for printing 8.5' x 11" on inkjet. Now wouldn't it make sense to start manufacturing sheets this way? I'd be happy to test-market. The new digital patterns from Oliver + S are waiting....
