Eco friendly business cards from cereal carton

When attending various trade shows and/or conferences you want to impress (empress/my_mistake:) the contacts you meet. You also want to be eco friendly so that your impact on nature is minimal. Thus this project: I make my business cards from cereal cartons with a black and white laser printer. They come out really neat, colorful and flashy. And they definitely make an impression.

Step 1 Disassemble cereal carton

Find side of carton box which was factory glued and carefully detach the folded sheets by hand. Disassemble

Very clever. Might give this a go next time I need "card stock" for something.

Good luck! Note that sometimes a laser printer needs a little help with these thick sheets of cardboard to be pushed into the printer :)

Used cereal boxes are useful for a lot of things! I hadn't thought of this one, but it seems like a cool idea. Thanks!

(Personally, I paint on most of mine with acryllics.)

Have you created an "instructable" on how to make these hand painted business cards?

Excellent concept/'ible!

Just one thing though: 'impress' is more impressive than 'empress'.

cool to look even more like a store bought card stock one could do a light cote of spray paint
