Ways to reuse... cereal boxes!

How to turn a cereal box into a magazine, book, paper, anything-at-all holder.

You need an empty cereal box.

Any size at all.

Start by drawing the outline of your magazine holder with a sharpie.

Then use a utility knife, or craft knife to cut it out.

Chose your favorite pattern paper.

You will need 3 12x12 sheets.

Trace around the paper in the shape you need to cut.

Don't forget to leave extra paper on the outside of the line

to fold over the edge of the box.

Use mod podge (or any other super tough glue)

to attach the papers to the cereal box.

Don't forget to fold over the extra paper into the box and glue it well.

(I found that it was really helpful to put another box of cereal inside

of your cut up box, gives it more stability as you are gluing.)

Once the paper is glued on, let it dry for 5-10 minutes.

Now add the mod podge to the outside of the paper also,

to further protect it.

Ta-Da! Now my unorganized desk can be slightly less unorganized.

(and they're cute too!)
