Craft Stew

While some materials are quite hard to find a re-use for, others are actually quite easy.  Cardboard cereal boxes fall into the second category.  There are an endless number of things that can be done with them. Here are some of my favorites ways to recycle this useful material.

1) Used cereal boxes make great packaging for gifts. The boxes can be turned inside out, or used as is.

2) Organizers can also be made from cereal boxes.  Cover the boxes with contact paper for a more finished look.

3) Make labels from cereal boxes using the instructions from Cut Out + Keep.

4) An empty cereal box can be made into a scrapbook using a bookbinding technique.

5) A puppet theater can be put together for the kids in your life using an old cereal box.

6) Make a very good looking  cereal box planner using instructions from Scrapbooking.com.

7) A cereal box cd case is another way to use this material.

Cereal box wallets look so nice, you might never use anything else again.

9. Magnetic bookmarks are a quick-to-make cereal box project.

10. This journal is so gorgeous, it’s hard to believe it started off as a cereal box.

11. Cereal boxes are bright and colorful….just what you want in a  mobile.

12. This Recycled gift bag is a variation on the gift box idea mentioned earlier.
