✦ A tutorial with an everyday feel, without fancy elements, that doesn't try to be more than it is (^▽^) we're going to make some good-sized storage boxes ✨ - Collage & Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia ✦

🇪🇸 ~ Las cajas almacenadoras de plástico que podemos ver en tiendas son realmente geniales, tengo algunas y son muy buenas tanto para almacenar materiales como para cuando tengo que viajar y necesito separar el interior del equipaje de manera segura.
Si conoces esas cajas, sabes que son costosas y representa una inversion de dinero importante poder adquirir al menos un par, por eso y en vista de la gran cantidad de materiales que necesito resguardar en un ambiente seco y fresco, te presento esta alternativa que me ha ayudado mucho.
🇺🇸 ~ The plastic storage boxes we see in stores are really great. I have a few, and they are very useful both for storing materials and for when I have to travel and need to safely separate the contents of my luggage.
If you are familiar with these boxes, you know that they are expensive and that purchasing at least a couple of them represents a significant investment. For this reason, and given the large amount of materials that I need to store in a dry and cool environment, I would like to introduce you to this alternative that has helped me a lot.
✦ This is the kind of project you can do in an afternoon and find very satisfying ✦
Las cajas almacenadoras de carton corrugado son altamente resistentes y muy divertidas de hacer, también por experiencia propia puedo decirte que tienen una capacidad de soportar muchos kilos de peso sin deformarse ni romperse.
Si eres crafter, artista o solo alguien que necesita una alternativa de almacenamiento de cosas que no quiere o no se pueden doblar o aplastar (decoraciones de navidad, proyectos escolares o ropa delicada por ejemplo), aquí te presento una manera eficiente y amable con el ambiente que resolverá tu problema 📢 ✨

Corrugated cardboard storage boxes are highly resistant and very fun to make. From my own experience, I can tell you that they can hold a lot of weight without deforming or breaking.
If you are a crafter, artist, or just someone who needs an alternative way to store things that you don't want or can't bend or crush (Christmas decorations, school projects, or delicate clothing, for example), here is an efficient and environmentally friendly way to solve your problem 📢 ✨

| 🇪🇸 ✦ Las herramientas y materiales que necesitas para elaborar este proyecto son: Caja grande de carton, cutter grande, cinta para medir, lápiz, bolígrafo, regla, cinta adhesiva grande, un dosificador con alcohol, paños de tela limpios, pegamento escolar o silicón frío (opcional). |
| 🇺🇸 ✦ The tools and materials you need to make this project are: Large cardboard box, large box cutter, measuring tape, pencil, pen, ruler, large adhesive tape, an alcohol dispenser, clean cloths, school glue or cold silicone (optional). |
« Let's get to work! »

【 PASO 1 】 Comencemos higienizando el material. En un dosificador coloca alcohol de uso médico y rocía de lejos la supervise del cartón, aproximadamente a 30 cm de distancia; luego pasa un paño seco y limpio por toda la superficie, no permitas que el cartón se humedezca demasiado, este paso es rápido, no esperes a que el cartón absorba la humedad.
【 STEP 1 】 Let's start by sanitizing the material. Pour medical alcohol into a spray bottle and spray the cardboard from a distance of approximately 30 cm. Then wipe the entire surface with a dry, clean cloth. Do not allow the cardboard to become too wet. This step is quick; do not wait for the cardboard to absorb the moisture.

【 PASO 2 】 A continuación marca a lo ancho y largo de toda la caja por sus 5 lados una línea que divida todo justo a la mitad. Esta es tu linea guía para cortar con el cutter; tomate tu tiempo para no maltratar el material y ayúdate con la regla para hacer los cortes lo más limpios posibles.
【 STEP 2 】 Next, mark a line across the width and length of the entire box on all 5 sides, dividing it exactly in half. This is your guide line for cutting with the cutter; take your time so as not to damage the material and use the ruler to help you make the cleanest cuts possible.

【 PASO 3 】 Así luce la caja una vez cortada, he reservado la parte superior (la mitad de la caja) para elaborar las tapas en el último paso de este proceso. En este momento puedes corregir el tamaño de las cajas por si las deseas menos altas o más angostas.
【 STEP 3 】 This is what the box looks like once it has been cut. I have kept the top part (half of the box) to make the lids in the last step of this process. At this point, you can adjust the size of the boxes if you want them to be shorter or narrower.

【 PASO 4 】 Mide el alto y el ancho de un lado de cada caja y replica esas medidas en parte del cartón reservado que cortaste al inicio (si no es suficiente puedes utilizar el material de otra caja). La manera de instalar esta nueva "pared" es forrando las esquinas-uniones con cinta adhesiva gruesa, y luego colocar una línea de pegamento por el lado interior en caso quieras reforzar dichas uniones. Espera unos 40 min a que todo seque.
【 STEP 4 】 Measure the height and width of one side of each box and replicate those measurements on the piece of cardboard you cut out at the beginning (if it's not big enough, you can use material from another box). To install this new “wall,” cover the corners and joints with thick adhesive tape, and then apply a line of glue to the inside if you want to reinforce those joints. Wait about 40 minutes for everything to dry.

【 PASO 5 】 Para terminar mide la parte superior de cada caja, su largo y su ancho, y replícalo en el cartón que reservamos. Para los lados de cada tapa has tiras de carton de entre 8 a 12 cm de grosor, y une todo con cinta adhesiva (fíjate en las fotos guía). A mí me gusta para terminar, reforzar todo con algo de pegamento, pero utilizando solo cinta adhesiva tambien obtendrás buenos resultados.
【 STEP 5 】 To finish, measure the top of each box, its length and width, and replicate it on the cardboard we set aside. For the sides of each lid, make cardboard strips between 8 and 12 cm thick, and join everything together with adhesive tape (see the guide photos). I like to finish by reinforcing everything with some glue, but you will also get good results using only adhesive tape.
« Let's go store! How many things will fit? »

✦ The height and width measurements are approximately 37 cm x 48 cm. You can make them whatever size you prefer, but I wanted to divide all the material perfectly in half ✦

✦ The result is quite rigid and they are easy to carry. I like to store them inside the closet, one on top of the other ✦
