Crafting with a tissue box! Remake it into a supply/tool box. #diycraftideas #easycrafts #craftswithhouseholditems

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

[Any size box is OK] Turn an empty tissue box into a cute drawer ♪ An easy DIY that will make you want to make lots of them ♪ How to make a drawer from a tissue box

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.

Star-shaped shelf

A cute star-shaped shelf made from an ordinary empty tissue box

A star-shaped shelf made from a tissue box not only brightens up a space but is also perfect for displaying small items.

Cut both ends of the back of the box into triangles, remove the center section, and take off the film.

Next, make a star-shaped template using A4 paper and use it to cut cardboard.

Decorate with your favorite origami paper, then assemble the cut tissue box pieces into a star shape and attach the cut cardboard to secure it.

When hung on a wall, it becomes an eye-catching piece of decor, and you can enjoy seasonal variations.

It’s a creative idea that balances playfulness and practicality.

Flower papercut

[For Teachers] Kirie: "What kind of flowers will we make?" – Elementary School Art Support

Kirie—the art of creating beautiful patterns simply by folding and cutting origami—is a craft filled with surprise and discovery.

Fold the origami paper several times until it becomes a triangle.

Draw motifs like snowflakes or hearts, then cut them out with scissors.

The moment you unfold the paper and a completely unexpected pattern spreads out is pure excitement.

Depending on how you sketch the design and where you cut, you can create completely different works even with the same theme.

Choosing colored origami paper or adding glitter for the finishing touch makes the result more vibrant and striking.

Through the process, you can develop dexterity and a sense of design, and once displayed, the pieces brighten up any room.
