Cereal box magazine files

Every year we seem to collect magazines and paperwork on every flat surface of our sitting room and kitchen. We always want to keep the stuff but it's a pain. I realised what we really needed was some magazine files but I didn't really want to go out and spend money on them. I had been saving cereal boxes for some time and realised that they were the perfect size. A few cuts later and here is the result:


A handmade magazine file within seconds and no money spent. I quite like the pattern on the box (especially in the kitchen) but if you would rather plain ones you could paint over the cardboard with white gloss or acrylic and even stick on wrapping paper or colourful magazine pages to cheer them up a bit. OK they are not as strong as the plastic ones you can get but they are so quick, easy to make and free. :-)
