homemade bookends

I found this on marthasewart.com...it is making magizine holders out of ceral boxes. It was a very neat idea, and since I was putting a shelf in my son's room for his books I decided to make me some bookends to hold all his books on the shelf. Here is what they look like:

yes I know that you may think that they are not going to strong enough to hold books up but they actually do. I put some Mod Podge on the ceral boxes that I made. yes I know what you are thinking she made Mod Podge? but I did and it actually worked out great. My son loves his new bookends although he isn't even old enough to tell me himself but I know his does. After putting the Mod Podge on I covered the boxes with a silly scrapbook  paper that I had laying around. Its great.
