As soon as we use all the cereal packed inside a cereal box, we think that now this box is useless and it is better to be throw it away than keep it for no good purpose. The cereal boxes that we regularly buy, are made of cardboard and cardboard is actually a very useful material being used in a lot of good thing.
Heck Google makes virtual reality device out of a piece of cardboard. This creativity motivated us to look for different smart uses of the cardboard boxes and cereal boxes in specific.
And as you can guess, it did not take us much time to figure out that the cereal boxes can actually be converted into a lot of amazing things.
Well, here is a list of awesome and useful items that you can make out of empty and apparently useless cereal boxes.
1. Cards Box
If you have kids, you must have cereal boxes at home because cereal is one of their favorite edibles. However, have you ever thought the kids who love to play different card games tend to lose a few cards out of the deck and this renders the whole deck useless?
Also:
You must have noticed that in case where you or your kids play more than one card game, the packs of those cards are often hard to find.
Well, here is the solution! Pick one of the funny cereal boxes at home and use it as a storage box for different card games. This way all card packs and all cards of those packs will remain safe and in one box.
2. Paper/Mail Bin
From frequent postage to utility bills to a lot of other invoices and newspapers and what not, we tend to collect a lot of papers at home and we feel hard to decide whether to keep them or throw them away. However, for this little window of confusion, we need some place to keep the paper mess.
Well, get a big sized cereal box, wrap a fancy wrapping paper around it and apply some embellishments e.g. ribbon or lace to the front and you have a beautiful paper and mail bin for your family.
3. Stationery Case
Kids or not, all of us have a mess of stationery at home. The led pencils, the ball pens, the ink pens, the rubbers and scales etc. are always hard to manage and keep at one place to find them later and use whenever needed.
No more! Get one or two of the mini cereal boxes at home, apply a beautiful wrapping paper to the body as well as lid. Get a sticky Velcro tape and cut two joints to paste them on the body as well as the lid.
This way you will be easily able to open and close the box without fear of dropping something out.
4. Bookmarks
Small cereal boxes cannot do much for the reusability thing, but they are still not useless. There are a few things that can still be made out of them. For example, the pencil or stationery cases!
Likewise, you can make something so easy and yet so awesome out of the mini cereal boxes that you have at home. If you are a busy person and still into book reading, I bet that you often have to leave a book in the midst of reading and take care of work, parenting or other errands.
In this situation it is always difficult to find out where one left. Not anymore! Cut some standard book side lengths out of your small cereal boxes, either let them have their natural vibrant and lively “cereal box” colors or wrap a wrapping paper around all of them.
Punch a hole through a paper punch and have a ribbon or paracord go through it. Tada, without spending money on book marks, you have got a few awesome book marks for yourself or the loved ones.
And there are a lot of other awesome things that one can do to the cereal boxes. Just ignite your creativity and see what you can get.
