Cereal Box Art - Made Two Little "Notes" Books



This one above is stitched together.

This one just has a rubberband and yarn ribbon in center to hold it together.



You need two index cards. Then cut out a piece of cereal box cardboard the same size as the index cards. Glue a blank index card on the front and back of the cereal box piece and fold in half. Now take some blank paper and cut it a little smaller than the index card cover. Fold in half and these will be your notes to write on. Decorate the front cover anyway you like. Then sew in the paper to the cover with a very sharp needle that will go through the cardboard. Start in the middle of the paper. Or for an easy way, just take a rubber band and put that around the middle. Then when you run out of paper, you can always refill it easy. This was a fun project to do and you could make plenty of these little notes books with just index cards, a cereal box, plain paper and whatever you want to decorate it with.

This project was inspired by: http://www.inspiremethursday.com/2008/10/02/cereal-box-art/
