This is the very very start of a very very long-term project involving the recycling of many many cereal boxes and cracker boxes into twine to ultimately create something for our home. I won’t reveal what it will be yet. I’ll leave that to your fertile imagination for now… But here’s what I’ve done so far.
After 1 cereal box, it was a ball measuring ~3-1/2 inches (9 cm) in diameter.
Now after 3 cereal boxes + 1 cracker box it is a ball measuring ~ 5-1/2 inches (14 cm) in diameter.
I’ll keep you abreast of my progress, recording numbers of cereal and cracker boxes as I go. And eventually… eventually… I’ll disclose its function. Until then, fingers-crossed that it’ll all come out as I see it in my brain. It’s an experiment, you see… What do you think it’ll be?
Oh yes, and to find out how to make cereal box twine, see this little post here.
Going to eat my bowl of cereal now… See you soon 😉
What a fun experiment, your son must enjoy this…I can't wait to see how big it gets!!!!!
Are you making a nest for Big Bird? Or is this a nest for all the chocolate for your favorite people for Easter? WOOHEE!!!!! Looking forward to seeing what you create!!
Snowmen!! 🙂
Not a nest nor a snowman… both good thoughts though!
I'm anxious to see where this is going!
Oh, I love it just as it is! What a great little decor piece it would be all on it's own. I love cereal box cardboard. Hmmm….
Obviously, it's a new roof. Add Mod-Podge to make weathertight, and voila!
Shall we start mailing our cereal boxes?
Hmmm, a bed and this is the knob at the top of the bed post?
Intrigued… very intrigued! I'm sure it'll be something fun.
I love your inquisitive mind. We go through so much cereal in our house!
I'm thinking a cereal box ball garland… Totally in love with the top picture!
it will be very smart thing..what i can write..mmm,thinking..!!! but not a fine guess 🙂
Heavens! I love your blog! So many lovely things.
Thanks for brightening up my dreary rainy Wednesday.
Deb 🙂
Thanks Deb! That's so nice to hear!
I'm thinking a rug of some sort. I love the look of it all wrapped up tight.
This is almost like the mystery object – guessing to see what you will make! What fun.
What about a wreath, with flowers?
hmmm interesting!!
Ooh intriguing! It will be interesting to see how long it ends up, and what you make with it!
