UPCYCLE MAGAZINE HOLDER AND TUTORIAL

I've wanted to do a tutorial all summer and have been reading a lot of make over and upcycle blogs lately. While in the shower, best place for singing and thinking, I was ruminating about how I could use some magazine holders and didn't want to spend any money (we are on a money diet here at the Ponderosa, like everyone else). So I'm going to show you how I took this very nice cereal box:


and turned it into this fabulous and FREE magazine holder.


COME WITH ME WHILE I TAKE THIS JOURNEY.  THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE PHOTOS!







***WITH THIS STEP: PLEASE ADULTS ONLY WITH SHARP BLADES!  PLEASE!!***
(DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY WOUNDS) :D!!!!




FOR THIS STEP YOU COULD USE DECORATOR DUCT TAPE, CONTACT PAPER, BOOK PAGES.  THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!!

I'M IN LOVE!!

VOILA!!

NOW GO MAKE SOMETHING.  GO ON.  GO!!  :D

I love this tutorial! I've got shelves full of these but they're store bought and a bit pricey. This is such a great idea and easy too! Thanks for sharing!
