Aside from homemade granola being one of my favorite breakfast foods, this nutritious snack aids in fueling my body as I'm currently training for a half marathon. I love munching on granola after a workout or adding it to yogurt with fresh berries for a quick breakfast.

I used velcro over the openings so I could remove or swap out the cloth on the side easily. There's also velcro holding the posterboard backing in place, so in theory I can replace it with other backings (like black posterboard or assorted cloth pattern fabrics, as I intend to do at some point).
At some point, I'll also want to get some clear acetate or cellophane that I can velcro on the side as cheap-o colored light filters.
