Fishing for a new carryall? Grab an empty cereal box and create a one-of-a-kind design.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| 1 empty cereal box, any size
Scissors Assorted decorative paper, such as construction paper or scrapbooking paper Paintbrush Mod Podge matte sealer | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: cereal box, paintbrush | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Cut off the box's top flaps. |
| 2. |  Draw a 4- by 1-inch oval centered on the front and back of
the box, about 1 inch from the open end. Cut out the ovals to
create the handles. |
| 3. |  Tear your paper into various shapes. |
| 4. |  Using the paintbrush, apply a small amount of Mod Podge to
the back of a piece of paper, then smooth the paper onto the box.
Spread more Mod Podge over the paper to help seal it in place.
Repeat until the entire box is covered, folding the papers over
the edges of the box where necessary. Let the sealer dry, about
20 minutes. |
| 5. |  To help the tote close easily, use the tip of the
paintbrush handle to score a line down the middle of each side of
the box, then bring the edges together as shown to crease the
fold. |
