Upcycling Cereal Boxes
While trying to figure out measurements for making a
little box to store all of my homemade flashcards, I realized how many
cereal boxes I now have. And the stash is ever growing, because,
although I have tried to recycle as much as possible, it is almost
physically impossible for me to throw out ANYTHING that still has use
left in it :D! Which led me to do a google search and here's what I
found just from the google images:
Cereal Box Organizer
Cereal Box Pencil Case
Cereal Box Gift Bag: scroll to about halfway down the page.

Shoebox Magazine Organizer: you could easily do this with a cereal box, although it probably wouldn't hold up as well.
Cereal Box Inboxes:
I'm going to try to do this for my 12x12 scrapbooking paper. I'll have
to cut up the boxes for the paper to fit. Look for an upcoming post
with this tutorial.
