Make an iPod Speaker from a Hallmark Music Card

Step 5 Prep cereal box

You'll want to cut a whole slightly smaller than the full diameter of the speaker. Remember the nice beveled edge Hallmark utilized to fix it to the card with double sided tape? We'll want to do the same thing here. A 1.25" diameter hole should be perfect. There's a dashed line that runs through the middle of the box that will help center you up before you cut.

You'll also want to cut a small hole towards the bottom rear of the box to feed the headphone jack through. Feeding the wire through the back/bottom of the box not only makes it look nice, but also weights the box so that it doesn't fall forward on its face when you stand it up on end.

Note: In Step 5, the dimension on the hole you're supposed to cut actually reads: 1 1/4" (One and a quarter inches) On my screen the line break between the ONE and the ONE-Quarter confused me the first several times I read it.

Good spot. I've edited that step so that there isn't a break and it now reads 1.25". Thank you.
