weekly diy: ceral box to gift box


So you bought the perfect gift for your buddy's birthday, but realize a half hour before the party that the nicest thing you have to wrap it in is a Duane Reed grocery bag. I feel your pain (and embarrassment). Well, with this DIY you can cut open your favorite cereal box and a couple of folds later you've got yourself a box. Bueno.

The folding steps are relatively precise, so I'm sending you over to instructables.com to check out the exact method. There are about 8 folds, then a gluing step. That's it.

Materials needed: cereal box, sharpie (to decorate).

Tools needed: glue gun, dexterity.

Instructables step-by-step.
J.J. Abrams talk @TED on box design that seemed to inspire our DIY-er.
