What to Do With a Muesli Box?

A quick post here. My where does the time go?

I need storage here in my tiny place. But, I don't want to spend money, and this is all potentially stuff I will have to take back or give away later. So here is a quick solution.

Museli Magazine Box

Scissors, cereal box, and optional bowl of cereal.

Also important: metal ruler and your favorite marking instrument.

Do the same on the other side of the box, but make sure that your lines meet 10 cm below on the same side.

Still with me?

Carefully cut along your lines:
VoilĂ !
Instant magazine/storage box.
It's eco-friendly, colorful and a great way to enjoy local ephemera and design.

Incidentally, I made this dinner tonight.
It was delicious!
Lekker!

That's how you say "Do It Yourself."
