Long-Term Experiment of the Cereal Box Kind 2



This is the progress on my long-term cereal box "experiment" after 5 cereal boxes and 9 cracker boxes.

To see how far I've come since the last time (not that far), click here.

Really, we eat that much breakfast cereal and crackers at our house. It is widely known that my body is 68% Cheerios, 20% crackers and the rest, lemonade, with trace amounts of other gunk. Does that mean I am insanely happy yet a tad sour?... Never thought about it until now.


Anyway. Thus far, the "experiment" is 8 inches (20 cm) tall and 5-1/2 inches (~14 cm) in diameter.


Note that I've added a "base" to the ball... Yep, that's a base with a ball on it alright. And no, the thingie has zero to do with that great American sport known as baseball, in case you were wondering.

Now go! Have yourself a super-fine day! I'll be back...

Long Term Experiment of the Cereal Box Kind



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 ;)
