Useful ways to repurpose a cereal box?
+7
What do you do with your old cereal boxes?
I did this project and made a magazine holder -- what do you think? All it took was one cereal box and some decorative paper. So easy and useful!
I’d really love to hear of some more cereal box repurposing ideas..I have a few waiting that are ready to be “diy-ed”!
Thanks in advance

I took 3 cereal boxes, cut them down to half the height of a legal size envelope. Staple them together on the long sides. Then took decorative duct tape and covered them all.
The back box is for blank envelopes, middle box has pending bills in it and the front box has my check book, pen and stamps.
It looks good and has everything at hand to get the job done.
You can cut them down to make a great gift box, decorate it or wrap it up to protect your gift!
I make drawer dividers that help keep all the 'bits-n-bobs' in place. The nagazine holder is a great idea as they can be used for storing plastic lids and maybe even curling and straightening irons if mounted to the inside of a bathroom cabinet door.
I have tons of ideas for upcycling cardboard (all my neighbours save their cereal boxes and tp rolls for me) check it out here: https://www.pinterest.com/irishpack/craft-with-cardboard/
My mom did that while I was going up

Magazine holder of shims as needed. Our boxes go into recycle.
