Recycling Cereal Boxes As Bookcases


My daughter has her own ideas of recycling materials.  It began with her dad asking her to cut empty cereal boxes to  keep his CD cases.  One day,  as I was cleaning the bookshelves, I realised the weight of the cd cases held inside these empty cereal boxes were keeping the other books upright. In other words, they are great of bookends as well. So I started using all empty cereal boxes to hold books that are thin, small or just too light to stay upright on their own.

Empty Cereal Boxes As Bookcases.

Whenever we have empty cereal boxes, the first thing I do is to cut two faces (front and back)  diagonally half way towards one end. That is all you need to do to start reusing them. You can also label these boxes at the front to organise them according to your preference.

    Hi there, glad you dropped in and read this post. So far I have collected every cereal box that’s emptied in our family, and it has worked so well, I didn’t have to think of buying bookcases. I still need shelves to put them on though, which means I use the bookshelves we have.
