Distress Ink Holder - by CorrieW

Supplies:

A gift box of appropriate size (mine is 6x6)

Lightweight cardboard (I used left over packaging)

Directions:

Step 1: Measure your box and determine the amount of slots that you will be able to fit horizontally and vertically (mine was 2 x 7).  

Step 2: Cut stripts of light cardboard to fit the horizontal (mine used 1) and vertical sizes (mine used 6).  

Step 3:Cut a small slit half way up one all the vertical pieces

Step 4: Take the horizontal piece(s) and measure where they will join with the vertical pieces and cut a small slit halfway up.

Step 5: Join the vertical pieces to the horizontal piece(s) by inserting the slits of the vertical pieces to the slits in the horizontal piece(s)

Step 6: Put this inside the box, you will notice that everything moves around a lot and is  pretty loose

Step 7: In order to make the ink pads stable I created little "cases" to go inside the spaces, repeat this for all the spaces your box has (mine has 14)

Step 8: Put all the small "cases", in the slots and everything should be nice and snug

Step 9: Label your inks and place in your slots, I put my a small piece of velcro on the back and attach the foam applicator pads to them (one for each color)
