Cereal Box Mail Holder

Just taking a break from baking to write about the cereal box mail holder I made last night. I’m not a super crafty person so mine doesn’t look professionally made. I had fun making these though.

You’ll need:
  • 2 cereal box
  • Tacky glue and hot glue
  • Scissor or box cutter
  • Ruler
  • Pen or Maker
  • Scrapbook papers (Got mine from Walmart. You can buy it in store or online here)

First, measure the height you want your mail box holder. Mark the lines on the boxes. You can do a straight or slanted line on the side of the boxes. I decided to do a slant line.

Cut the boxes. Check to see if the boxes line up. It’s easier if the boxes are the same size too. Hot glue the boxes together.

Measure and cut the scrap papers to fit on the box and glue it on using the tacky glue. Using hot glue will make it have some bumps. I would prefer using hot glue, but not for this kind of craft.

I made 2 mail holders:

With the bigger boxes (Capt’n Crunch & Rice Krispies), I used 5 scrap papers. There were only 2 designs of each so I had to use another different design for the inside. Looks kind of weird, but it’s not like anyone is going to look inside.

With the smaller boxes (both Cheerios), I used 4 scrap papers. It looks nice. Made a few mistakes, but that’s okay.

I know these do not look perfect, but at least it looks good and works for its purposes. You can put these on the counter, desk, or pin it to the wall.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy and get inspire to make your own. =)
