How about making a delicious-looking sandwich out of a melamine sponge that you’ll just want to take on a picnic? It’s very easy to make! First, prepare a large, thick melamine sponge and cut it into a triangle, imagining the shape of a sandwich.

Use a craft knife to make a slit so you can insert the fillings.

Next, create the fillings—such as ham, lettuce, or spaghetti—using construction paper or yarn.

If you use colorful materials for the fillings, the result will look extra cute.

Finally, tuck the fillings into the sponge sandwich, and you’re done! Try making different fillings and have fun playing with them.

Remake tissue box

[Let's Try This at Home: Crafts] Adult Crafting / Upcycling an Empty Tissue Box into a Tissue Case — cardboard craft, DIY ideas for girls, thick paper crafts

Remake tissue box

Why not make your own tissue case using a tissue box? First, use construction paper to create the top surface of the tissue case and add patterns.

In the video, lines were drawn in a diamond pattern, but any design you like is fine.

Cut slits into a rubber spatula, apply paint directly to it, and press it onto the paper to create a textured, three-dimensional pattern.

You can also layer decorations for added effect.

Cut down an empty box to make it smaller than its original size, then reassemble it to use as the base.

Use construction paper to make a template and build the inner box that will hold the tissues.

Prepare another box and cover it with the decorated construction paper you made earlier—this will be the cover portion of the tissue case.

Stack the two boxes together to complete your tissue case.

The process is a bit complex, but you’ll end up with a one-of-a-kind tissue case that exists nowhere else.

Give it a try!
