If you’ve signed up for free cooking magazines recently, you might have more magazines than you know exactly what to do with…or is that just me? This morning as I was pouring my cereal, I happened to glance on the inside of my Honey Comb box and noticed directions on the flap detailing how to make a recycle rack (which I have converted to a magazine holder).
- To start with, cut off the top flaps.
- On the side panel measure 4 inches up from the bottom and draw a straight line across.
- Draw a diagonal line from the 4 inch line on the side to the opposite top corner on the front and back of the box.
- Cut out along those lines and voila! Instant, cheap magazine/junk mail/recycling box :). Thanks Honey Comb!

ReplyDeleteI tried this once and it kept toppling over. Is there a way to make it more sturdy?
ReplyDelete@Everyday Mom Ideas, I think if the box is full enough, and if it's a wider cereal box like Cheerios, that it should stay up. I had no problem getting my box to stay up, but had it as full as it would let me :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea! I keep my cooking magazines forever! Thanks for the visit and follow at Life or Something Like It. Following you back!
