FAQs

How long will the charms last?

The charms should last for several months when made with cardstock and quality glues like Mod Podge and E6000. Be sure to seal the edges well and avoid getting them wet.

Can I use a different cereal box?

Yes, this project would work with any colorful cereal box. Character shapes from other brands like Lucky Charms or Cocoa Puffs marbits could also be used.

What else can I do with empty cereal boxes?

Cereal boxes are endlessly reusable for crafts. Other ideas include greeting cards, gift tags, decorative boxes, backyard mazes, and more. Let your creativity run wild!

How do I attach the charms once made?

Common ways to attach the charms include keyrings, Split rings, safety pin backs, or string/twine tied in a knot. Beads or small eyelets could also be glued on for threading cord or chain.

Will the charms get soggy if they touch water?

As long as the Mod Podge seal is thorough, the charms should hold up well to occasional moisture. However, direct submersion in water is not recommended long-term.
