Upcycled Cereal Box Crafts

I remember when I was about 10 and didn’t have hanging file folders. I wanted to organize my papers so I used manila folders, tapped on straws and allowed them to hang on my homemade file cabinet. My dad thought I was genius. Though, initially, I wasn’t doing this to see how smart I was, I was being resourceful with my supplies, it created a spark in me to upcycle what I had.

If you love to create, craft,  or perhaps see what genius things you can make from recycled materials, this post is for you! Take a look at these Upcycled Cereal Box Crafts and let us know your favorite! What have you tried?
