Recycling Tip Of The Day: Don't Throw Away The Cereal Box

This can be a fun project to do with the kids or just for yourself!Turn the empty cereal box into a book or magazine holder.First, starting at the middle of the box on the side, cut upwards until you get to the opposite tip of the box.You should have a straight angle from the left top corner to the right side of the box or other way around.Then make sure you cut the other side to match.Once you have it cut you can paint the outside to your liking(spray paint, fabric paint) or use scrapbooking paper in a neat design to wrap the outside of the box and\or inside using tape (like you are wrapping a gift box).When you are done,if you have used the wrapping method, paint over the paper all on the inside and\or outside with a mixture of half elmers glue and half water.This will make a clear sheen to the paper and will preserve it for wear and tear once it dries.Have fun!
