Cereal Box Journal Part of a Balanced Breakfast

cereal-box-notebook.png

This project creatively uses a cereal box as a cover for a super hip notebook (although if it was us, we'd be even more super hip by putting the cereal box graphics on the outside). Not only that, but it's a good introduction to a simple book binding method (sewing required). This is a great inexpensive alternative to those expensive journals that are all the rage these days and you'll get twice as many looks of approval from the other hipsters. Plus, your doodles and shopping lists will now be complete with 12 essential vitamins and minerals. [via]

Live Wallpaper

200902090847.jpg

Turn a blank wall opposite any window into a live action wallpaper by effectively turning the entire room into a giant camera obscura. The view from your window will be projected (upside down) onto the opposite wall with the use of only a bit of cardboard, tape, and a lens available from your local optician. The effect is pretty cool - but wouldn't it be possible to flip the image right side up again by using a second lens? [via]
