Instructions

  1. Small dscf1562 1251699808

    so you first need to get your hands on one of these mini cereal boxes, i'm guessing you can find them at any grocery kinda store

  2. Small dscf1562 1251700309

    assuming you have all ready opened it and have eaten all the yummy goodness of the cereal inside, cut along one of the long sides (marked with red, kinda hard to see)

  3. Small dscf1563 1251702240

    now you need too glue back together the top of the cereal box flap. that will become your side of the box.....at this point your box should look something like this..

  4. Small dscf1565 1251700765

    this step is totally and completely up to you, you can decide what to put on it...i covered mine up with fabric and a couple of buttons...to close it up i used some velcro..(if you have any questions on a step on how i made mine, don't hesitate to ask on a comment)
