1 - Get your open cereal box and fold down the two small flaps into the box.

2 - Then, fold down one of the longer sides, in the same manner.

3 - Poke in the narrow sides of the cereal box, underneath the flaps, until the front and back of the cereal box are touching in a V shape.

4 - Finally, tuck the only unfolded flap into the box opening so it overlaps with the opposite side.
