Empty wooden clementine boxes - Sheets of cork - Fiskars xacto knive - Offray acrylic ruler and cutting mat **Here's what you do**:![Recycled Clementine Box - Step 2](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/glue-dots-corked-box-organization-step2-280x300.jpg?width=280&height=300&name=glue-dots-corked-box-organization-step2-280x300.jpg) 1. Clean off any extra labels or tags from your wooden box. Using the xacto knife and ruler, cut the cork to the dimension of the bottom of the box. 2. Cut your Advanced Strength Sheets into strips and then cut each strip in half. This way there are "tabs" so you can easily peel back the liners. Adhere these to the bottom of the box. If using the dispenser, simply apply the dots to the bottom of the box or onto the cork (whichever is easier for you). 3. Lay your cork layer on top of the adhesive and press down firmly. 4. Fill and organize these boxes to suit your needs. These will work great in kids' bedrooms, study areas, your husband's work bench, etc. They will hold little odds and ends and can easily be moved around without losing your items! ![Finished Clementine Box Organization](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/glue-dots-corked-clementine-box-organization-finished-300x258.jpg?width=300&height=258&name=glue-dots-corked-clementine-box-organization-finished-300x258.jpg) ~Dawn *Glue Dots Advanced Strength Dispenser is available at:* [![amazon](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/amazon.png?width=333&height=78&name=amazon.png)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LHYZYW2/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_5) [![hobby lobby](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/hobby-lobby.png?width=280&height=57&name=hobby-lobby.png)](http://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Basic-Crafts/Glues-Adhesives/Glue-Dots-Advanced-Strength-Dispenser/p/139726) [![joann fabrics](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/joann-fabrics.png?width=217&height=55&name=joann-fabrics.png)](http://www.joann.com/glue-dots-all-purpose-roll/14313548.html#q=Glue+Dots&prefn1=brand&prefn2=prod_type&prefv1=Glue+Dots&prefv2=Product&start=1) [![michaels](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/michaels.png?width=196&height=71&name=michaels.png)](http://www.michaels.com/10337221.html#q=Glue+Dots&start=13) - [![Glue Dots](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/glue-dots-logo-1.jpg)](http://www.acmoore.com/storelocator) - [![A.C.
