toolbox

You can make a cute little tool box from an empty tissue box.
How about making a small box to store items like pens and masking tape that tend to get scattered? First, cut a diagonal slit in the top of the empty tissue box and remove only the long side.
Apply double-sided tape to the remaining three sides and fold them inward.
Prepare another box—this will be the lid.
Cut it so that only the bottom and its rim remain.
Use the leftover box material to make a handle and attach it to the lid with a split pin.
Finally, add a tab to insert and it’s complete.
drawer storage

This drawer-style storage is so functional you’d never guess it’s made from a tissue box.
Take the box apart, then cut and shape the outer and inner pieces separately.
After reassembling, punch a hole in the front of the drawer section, thread a knob through, and secure it with a screw and washer for smooth opening and closing.
Add dividers inside to neatly organize stationery and small items.
Decorate with design paper to give it a polished look that doesn’t feel utilitarian.
It’s a storage-focused idea that broadens the ways you can repurpose empty boxes.

Sparkly inedible dessert
@mugimama_diy I tried making a sparkly, inedible dessert ✨ It looks like a light, doesn’t it? ✨✨#FakeSweetsResin#resinHandmade
♪ Original Song – Mugimama DIY 🧵🪡 – Mugimama DIY 🧵🪡
Why not try your hand at sweets art with “sparkly inedible desserts”? They look just like real jelly! But… in fact, they’re entirely handmade fake sweets.
Using resin sheets, glitter, and clear materials, this craft lets you create jewel-like desserts you can’t eat.
Their cute, mysterious look will captivate anyone who sees them! Most people will probably think, “I’ve always wanted to taste a dessert like this at least once.” They’re sure to be eye-catching, photogenic pieces.
Plus, put them on a light base and they glow! It’s the perfect finishing touch for a romantically charming sweet.
Honey Toast accessory case

Almost real? Let’s make a sweet and cute “Honey Toast Trinket Box”! It’s a big hit with upper-grade girls: it looks like a dessert, but inside it’s a practical storage box.
The design mimics crispy honey toast topped with plenty of honey, ice cream, and fruit.
It’s a craft project with a soft, sweet vibe.
Using paper clay, sponge, and paints, you can create realistic “browned edges” and a “melty” look.
Coming up with the decorations will be fun to do with friends, too.
Try finishing it off cutely with silicone whipped cream and berries.
basket-style accessory case

Let’s start by making the basket’s body.
First, cut around the tissue pull-out opening with scissors.
Keep the piece you cut out—it will be used as the basket handle.
Draw a line down the center of the remaining box and mark points at equal intervals from there.
It’s easier to fold if you crease it in advance, so make the creases first and then shape it into a basket.
Secure the overlapping creases with double-sided tape to finish the basket.
Attach the handle you saved, then decorate it with your favorite origami paper.
You’ll have your very own basket-style organizer.
It’s easy to make, so it’s also recommended as a recreation activity in senior care facilities.
pen holder

Open the tissue box and flatten it.
Cut off the left and right sides, then cut down the middle to make it a single sheet.
Fold it in half with the printed surface facing inward, then fold it in half once more.
Open it once, fold down all four corners, and continue folding while shaping it into a box.
For the final overlapping part, securing it with a clip will make it more stable.
Our hands have tactile senses that perceive touch, temperature, and texture through sensory nerves.
Therefore, using our hands is said to stimulate the brain and help prevent cognitive decline.
The tissue box used this time has a moderate firmness and requires applying pressure with the fingertips when shaping it, so it may be even more effective.
lease
Paper plates and cups transform into wreaths that color the seasons.
Gentle crafting time to enjoy with a refined, grown-up sensibility.
With simple paper plates and cups, your wreath can become a perfect art piece for any season or interior—limited only by your ideas.
Cut, paste, and decorate: within these simple steps, a distinctly adult sense of style shines.
Combine natural elements like nuts and cake picks for a refined, organic finish.
Hang it by the entryway or on a windowsill, and the handmade warmth will gently enrich your everyday life.
The materials are simple, but the result is deep and nuanced.
Savor the joy of this “grown-up crafting” experience.
