Trying to stick with the "stay at home" and not spend money... I found a way to create a journal or notebook for yourself or for the kids by using the empty cereal box and scrap paper.
So before you pitch that cereal box in the recycling bin, check out this video:
What you will Need:
- Scrap papers (this would work with anything even construction paper!)
- Empty Cereal Box
- Duct Tape (or something similar even packing tape will work)
- Ribbon
- Hole Punch
Method:
Step 1 - Find the papers you want to fill the book up with.
Step 2 - Add holes with punch or something sharp..
Step 3 - Cut out the cereal box for front and back cover by tracing the papers.
Step 4 - Create a spine with the duct tape (watch video it is not long!)
Step 5 - Thread the ribbon through the holes and tie off.
Decorate and Personalize or leave as is.
Your kids might like the idea of their favorite cereal on the cover of their new art book, but maybe you don't, so you could also cover it with scrapbooking papers, duct tape or even paint.
This is a great way to use up leftover paper laying about and put the cereal box to good use for that arts and crafts day.
Totally Personalize the Homemade Journal
This is an affordable DIY, you most likely have everything you need at home. An awesome craft to keep kids busy or for yourself.
Journaling is a good stress reliever for you and drawing is a great way for kids to destress.
Hope everyone is staying safe!
