Materials 

  • Cereal box

Instructions 

  • Gather all materials.
  • Start by drawing a line across one of the narrow sides of the cereal box, about 1/2 inch from the top.
  • Turn to the opposite narrow side and draw a line 4-inch away from the bottom of the box.
  • Turn the box to the wide side and draw a diagonal line to connect the top and bottom lines you have previously drawn along the sides.
  • Do the same on the opposite side.
  • Use a knife to cut along the lines, creating a magazine holder shape.
  • Grab your self-adhesive fablon, and measure and cut an appropriate length and width to cover the entire box.
  • Peel off the backing adhesive and start wrapping around the box, ensuring all sides and corners are covered.
  • Use a ruler to smoothen out air bubbles, if any.
  • Grab your cutter and cut the excess wrapping paper of your box.
  • Use a small pin or needle for popping out any small air pockets remaining after gluing.
  • There you go, a decorative, inexpensive DIY magazine holder!
