Steps
Step 1
Gather your materials and make sure you have everything you need ready to use.

Decorate a white sheet of paper to create the pattern for your desk tidy. We have used paint, but you could use felt tip pens, colouring pencils or coloured paper.
Step 3
Glue or tape two cereal boxes together.
Step 4
Draw a diagonal line on each side of the cereal boxes and cut out to form a lower part and an upper part as in the photo. This is your desk tidy, now you just have to decorate it!

Start by decorating the inside with coloured paper.
Step 6
Line the outside of the boxes with your decorated patterned paper.
