Lego desk organiser

Hi guys!
Issy and I are finally on summer holidays! Yay! Hopefully we'll be posting more as we'll have more time. Comment below if you have any ideas that you want us to do posts on.
 You probably have a lot of lego lying around at home from when you had it as a kid. This DIY is a good way to use some of it up, and it helps to organise your desk, so it's a win-win situation. It is also really simple, so anybody can do it.
You will need:
-Lego (I got mine from my little brother)
-hands

Steps:
1- get all the regular shaped lego you can find, as well as one big-ish base. Make a small wall, one brick high on three sides of the base.
2- get some more flat lego, and lay it out so it covers most of the base. This will be used to make the bottom of the draw. Then stick these all together with long thin flat bits of lego.

3- star to build up a wall on all four sides of the drawer. Add in a small flat brick, so you can pull out the drawer easily. Slot the drawer into the rest of the box to check it fits okay.
4- while the drawer is in the box, build up the box's wall around the drawer. I would recommend three bricks high. Just make sure it is higher than the drawer.
5- make the roof of the box by sticking flat bricks over the top of the wall.
6- if you want to, you can make dividers on the roof by putting the one-block-wide blocks on to make the size squares you need. Then just put in all your stationary!
