Cereal box magazine holder

This magazine holder is a great way to get organized in upcycled style!  The project is from the book ReMake It! Recycling Projects from the Stuff you Usually Scrap by Tiffany Threadgould.  RePlayGround is an eco-crafty company that promotes do-it-yourself projects made from the stuff you'd usually throw into the trash.  Let's get started ReMaking!

You will need:

• cereal box
• pencil
• ruler
• scissors

Step 1 Measure

1. Start with an empty cereal box, with one of its narrow sides facing you. Mark a straight line across this side of the box about 3.5” from the bottom. Lay the box down so the line you drew is on the right. Then mark an angled line across the front wide side of the box starting from the line you drew to the top left corner. Flip the box over and do the same thing on the other wide side of the box, starting from the line you drew and ending at the top right corner.

I used to do this in high school for all those teen magazines it is an awesome idea! Cereal boxes ARE getting smaller though so word of advice shop for bigger ones (not necessarily more expensive) and measure the base length before you put your magazines in!

this is such a great hack. i was thinking it would also be cool to wrap the cereal box with cool wrapping paper if you wanted to add a design element to it.

great job!
