This week I was blessed with groceries.
Mini cereal boxes were part of the package...
you know I could not let them go to waste!
I used hot glue to secure the top of the box and then I covered the box in paper.
(Wrapped it just like a present.)
I found a label from the graphics fairy
Of course I used lots of misc doo dads to fluff up the top!
I also fluffed up a baby food jar to match the box, it is in my laundry room making money as I do laundry! Giggle!
Ok, probably a little over the top when you start shabbying cereal boxes!
Listen, I am a mommy on a budget!
These little cereal boxes were too cute to toss!

The cutest idea! how creative you are.. I just became a follower..
ReplyDeleteOlivia, I think its wonderful you shabbied up your ceral boxes. Any time something can be re-purposed vs going in the garbage is a good thing!!! It is beautiful!! By the way, I have gone over the top with cigar boxes. I finished another one this evening and will post it tomorrow evening. Have a good week my sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is recycling to the best!! I may try it.....
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Day!

Olivia, I have always thought those little cereal boxes were too cute to throw out and yet, I did! I will have to rethink that next time. Yours is just adorable! Good job!

May I say that "shabbying" your little ceral boxes is a lovely idea of using something most of us throw out and just clutter landfills etc etc. You, however, have taken it and made beauty from it and for that I deeply admire your creativity. Since my husband and I are on a retirement budget and since I retired early, I must start to rethink ideas such as these. Thank you for your inspirational post today. Happy PS a little late.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and such flair! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words about my blog - they mean a lot.
Happy Mother's Day!

Too cute!! I'm amazed!
ReplyDeleteOnly another blogger could appreciate this post, Olivia!! Shabby-ing up mini cereal boxes is a terrific idea!! You are such a clever gal. I love how yours turned out.
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up today on some of your past posts, and just realized that you say you are having some surgery soon. I'll say special prayers for you, dear friend. Take good care of yourself and I hope you will have a very speedy recovery!
Love & Prayers,
