Using empty cereal boxes I created some cute magazine holders.
These are so easy to make and they look great sitting on a shelf.
For this project you will need:
-A Large Cereal Box.
-2 12×12 sheets of decorative paper (2 for 1 box)
-Mod Podge
-Scissors
-Ruler
To make, first cut off the top of the cereal box, then using a ruler draw a line across the box (I left 3 inches on top and 4 1/4 on side) cut out. Use cut off piece as a template for the opposite side.
Trace Cereal box onto decorative paper, cut out then Mod Podge on. (use directions on container)
Note: Let an inch of the the paper hang over the edges of the box, this is so you can fold it over like a present on the bottom of the box, I used some of the left over paper and placed in the center, to fill in the gap.
I think they turned out really cute, but the problem with these ones is that they don’t actually fit a magazine in them. I think the economy is making our cereal boxes shrink.
It does however fit bills really well.
I noticed that cereal boxes are getting smaller, too! Those look pretty cute holding your bills.
Great ideas!
