Materials needed:
Cereal box
Scrapbook paper
Scissors
Modge Podge
Ruler or measuring tape
Pen
Sponge applicator brush
3M strips for hanging
(I also snuck in some double sided tape as I was having issues with my glue one day- don't ask- pain meds do a weird thing to you)
Step 1: Cut the top off the box and measure to where you want the pocket to go. I simply cut down the sides until I reached the spot where I wanted to stop then cut across and wah la! For the sides, I just drew a diagonal line and cut from where the pocket began to where the top was.

Step 2: Measure the area and cut the scrapbook paper accordingly. So I forgot pics of this, but figured, you would understand. Shoot! Look above and you'll see I forgot to take pics of the beginning too!
Step 3: Adhere (glue) the paper to the front of the box using the Modge Podge and sponge applicator.
Step 4: Do the same for the sides and inside of the box. I chose 2 different pieces of scrapbook paper... just because.
Step 5: Once the box is covered in scrapbook paper (to your liking- notice, I didn't bother with the back as I knew no one would see it), apply the 3M strips to the back of the box. I used 4- one in each corner to ensure it would stick on the fridge.

Step 6: Place it where you want and start putting your goods in it!
So simple, so easy and quick. Not to mention, I love it and it's working out for my family. Isn't that what's most important?
Now I think I'll make another for all those stinking magnets on the fridge. The fridge would look much prettier that way!
Very cute!
