Customized Tissue Box

Customized Tissue Box 

Temporary Tissue boxes re purposed to make customized re usable tissue boxes 

with chocolate paper holders.

So whenever I see these brand printed tissue boxes around my house , I feel like making a permanent re usable tissue box. And I had a few ideas too. But when I had these date chocolate paper holders lying around.. I said why not use them for the surface of the box as it would give a nice texture to it. And hey I used the temporary box itself to make it! So you already have a base ;) And am loving this rich dark chocolate brown color of the box!! Ahh makes me wanna indulge in some chocolate affair :D

BEFORE

AFTER

Ok, So here's how you do it :)

Materials Required : 

1. Approx 22 Sweet/Cupcake paper holders 3" Diameter 

2.Tissue Box

3. Glue Stick

4. Cooking Oil

5. Scissor, Tape

6. Black Sharpie Marker

Design Process : 

Take an empty tissue box. Open it from one side. Refer to the picture below.

Start sticking the paper holders onto the box with a glue stick. I prefer to overlap the papers in the fish scale pattern.
Tip : If your paper holders are matte finished. Spread a drop of oil on each paper holder & they will absorb it & give an even shine in a few seconds. Get rid of any excess oil with a tissue paper or rub another paper holder against it ;)

You can cut into halves some of the paper holders to cover the base of the box if you are short of them like me.

And here is how you paste the papers on the side. Just use a double sided tape or roll a normal tape to stick the overlaping opening of the box. 

And you can insert the tissues from the opening. Yes, you might have to change the tape everytime you use it. But , hey you don't have to buy new tissue boxes every time form now on :D Just buy the tissue packs :) And save a buck you lil DIY Artist :D

So here is your own new proud creation your guests will appreciate on the diner table ;) & you won't see the Brand Logo on it any moree :D

Tips : 

You can use Ferro rocher paper holders or any pretty leftover cupcake holders. But a regular cupcake holder is 5" in diameter & it dsn't look that pretty. Smaller the better ;)
