Do you buy bags of cereal instead of boxes? Our family does! This year, TerraCycle, the company that recycles product packaging and transforms it into cool new products, has provided a great idea for reusing your cereal bags. With a few clever snips and folds, you can turn a plastic cereal package into a cool Easter Basket. I love to transform recycled materials into fun craft projects. Last year, we made a recycled milk jug into an Easter basket. Can’t wait to try this idea this year! [how to make a recycled cereal bag easter basket]
