Upcycling cereal boxes at home can be a lot of fun.
Especially when you make an organizer thats actually useful.
This is a full tutorial on how to make a DIY desk organizer out of cereal boxes.
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
These are the hallmarks of a sustainable craft, and this cereal box organizer absolutely fits the bill!
Set up in front of Netflix and crank this project out in an afternoon.
The one thing to really pay attention to here is color!
So, not only will it be a useful accessory, it will also be lovely to look at.
Whether its on adeskor adorning your nightstand, this organizer will effortlessly clean up your space.
Even better, it wont break the bank.
So, how do you create this awesome organizer?
Step 1
As always, lets start by getting our supplies together!
you’ve got the option to use glue or double-sided tape as your adhesive.
I personally prefer double-sided tape, simply because it takes no time to dry.
Step 2
Begin by measuring your cut lines on each cereal box.
The measurements are up to you!
Finally, use your craft knife or a pair of scissors to cut along the lines.
Step 3
Next up, its time to decorate the boxes.
you’ve got the option to almost treat this like wallpapering something!
Simply measure out each interior panel on your colored cardstock, then cut it out and attach it.
I used double-sided tape to line my box, but you might use glue if you prefer.
Step 4
Use a contrasting color to line your second box in the exact same way.
I used purple and orange (I just love how they play off each other).
Step 5
Now, we have to create the actual organizers shape.
This is super easy!
Step 6
Now that you have the organizers shape, its time to wrap it up.
If youre a talented gift-wrapper, this part will be a breeze for you.
Lay it back down on the wrapping paper to start, then roll to cover.
Use a sharp craft knife to slice the excess off, creating that clean edge.
Imin lovewith how easy and cheap this is to make.
Throw it together in an afternoon and get rid of the mess thats been plaguing your desk!
