Here are some beautiful and sturdy cardboard boxes. Together, we’re going to give them a second life before they get to the recycle bin!
You can use these boxes as gift wrap, or for shipping light items.
After this, you will never look at your cereal or cookie boxes the same way… ;)

Step 1
First, we carefully and completely open both ends of the box. Then, all we have to do is take apart the short tab that typically runs along the side of these boxes.
Step 2
And we end up with this:
Step 3
Now we rebuild the box, but inside-out!
Step 4
The tab and the corners are folded the opposite way, and wide clear tape is used to hold it all together.
Step 5
Voilà! Very easy, economical, and environmentally friendly!!!!
