The  Christmas holiday season is over and all the goodies are gone, including the 3 batches of Chex mix I made. So it’s time to say goodbye to the empty cereal boxes.

Some went the way of the recycling bin and others… well, they went the way of my craft room.

I cut a box into tag shaped pieces.

Then I covered one side with printed paper and the other side with plain white card stock.

I layered on pieces of different papers and sandwiched trims, pieces of paper doilies and snippets of tulle between the layers.

Here are the finished tags.

I didn’t buy anything for this project. I only used supplies from my stash. I think they turned out pretty well considering they started as waste.

I hope this inspires you to look in your recycling bin, pull something out, and use items in your stash to create something pretty and new!
