 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

i ran into this super cute mini cereal box, and i kept it cause you never know what idea might pop up...it took me so long to figure out what to do with it...i had such high hopes...so i finally decided i needed a button box...and that was the mini cereal box's destiny lol.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    so you first need to get your hands on one of these mini cereal boxes, i'm guessing you can find them at any grocery kinda store

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    assuming you have all ready opened it and have eaten all the yummy goodness of the cereal inside, cut along one of the long sides (marked with red, kinda hard to see)


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    now you need too glue back together the top of the cereal box flap. that will become your side of the box.....at this point your box should look something like this..

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    this step is totally and completely up to you, you can decide what to put on it...i covered mine up with fabric and a couple of buttons...to close it up i used some velcro..(if you have any questions on a step on how i made mine, don't hesitate to ask on a comment)

I love this idea! My mom gets these cereal boxes for my brother for breakfast or a snack for school, I never thought to make anything from the box.
Thanks for the tutorial and the idea!
