It's a dilema all of us have faced at one time or another. You’ve been asked to contribute to a bake sale, but you’ll be damned if yet another one of your Tupperware containers goes missing in the process.
Caker Baker Cereal Box Containers are a practical, cheap and environmentally-friendly solution.
Instructions:
 |
| Take an empty cereal box and tape down any open flaps. |
 |
| Use an X-Acto knife to cut along both sides, leaving 1” at the top and along the edge. |
 |
| Continue to cut halfway down the short edge of the box and cut across the short edge to join the two cuts on either side. |
 |
| Lift up the lid, line the inside with waxed paper et voila! |
 |
| Close it up and you're on your way! |
Who gives a shit if you never see this again? For those of you with a creative flair, accent your box with sequins, scrap felt or even feathers. This is your chance to outshine all those boring paper plates and soon-to-be-missing Tupperware containers.
Save the inner bag the cereal was packed in, dust it off, and no need to spend extra on wax paper!
ReplyDeleteI’ve also seen a very elegant version of this where the bag was taped inside the opening to make a window lid.
Mephyle, you are one crafty caker. It never even occured to me to save the cereal bag, let alone make a window. I simply can't think of a more elegant presentation. Thanks for sharing.
