Tuesday Tutorial - Great Things Made From Everyday Items

Who would have ever known you could make something this awesome from a cereal box? I love it.
Want to make your own? Instructions can be found at Green Zebra Crafts.

How about a cute basket made from a paper plate? This would be great for giving cookies or treats to someone and not having to worry about about getting your container back. Instructions can be found at sarahhearts.com

This cute ribbon holder is made from an oatmeal container. Find out how it's done here... scrapbooksetc.com

It amazes me how such clever items can be made out of almost anything.
