toolbox

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.

Indian embroidered ribbon bookmark

We’d like to introduce a bookmark made with Indian embroidered ribbon that feels both vibrant and charmingly simple.

Cut the Indian embroidered ribbon to your preferred bookmark length, then thread soft wire along both sides of the ribbon.

Next, sew around the edges of the ribbon with thread.

Using a pale-colored thread will change the overall impression of the bookmark.

Hand-stitching adds a warm, handmade feel.

Add beads as accents, attach a flat ribbon or similar embellishment, and you’re done.

Give it a try!

Origami and Sleek Ribbon Bookmark

How to make origami bookmarks and how to tie neat ribbons

Here’s how to make an original bookmark with origami and a neat ribbon.

Prepare origami paper and a ribbon to get started.

Fold the origami paper in half, then open it up and make creases horizontally and vertically as well.

As you add creases to divide it into thirds, shape it into a bookmark.

For the ribbon, tie a simple knot first, then thread it through the bookmark hole—this is the key to getting a clean, tidy knot.

Finish by applying fray-preventer to the ribbon’s cut ends.

Using patterned origami paper is recommended.

Ribbon bookmark

They’re cute just to have on display, so if you love books, try making them 📕🎀BookmarkRibbon#HandmadeBookmarkHandmade#RibbonArrangementBalletcoreBook-loving girlReading items

Here’s an introduction to a bookmark with a visible ribbon that peeks out from your book.

It’s a ribbon bookmark recommended for those who love cute things.

Cut a piece of construction paper into a long, narrow strip and fold it in half.

Leaving the folded end as the tip where the ribbon will be attached, glue the strip together.

Trim the corners at the ribbon end, attach the ribbon, and you’re done.

When making the ribbon, the key is to cut it a bit long.

Wrap the ribbon around your fingers to form it.

Many bookmarks only peek out slightly as a marker, but having the ribbon visible makes it even cuter.

Finger-knitted sacoche

Finger-knit sacoche/bag for complete beginners (crochet, crocheting) – Part 1

Let’s try knitting a sacoche—those trendy flat crossbody bags—using just your fingers.

Since sacoches are slim and have no gusset, they seem easy to make with finger knitting.

It could be a fun project for kids who want to try knitting, and it’s also recommended for kids who’d like to try a different knitting method than usual.

If you use yarn in your favorite colors, your piece will turn out even more special.

Once it’s finished, try slinging your sacoche over your shoulder and heading out.

As you get used to the process, it’s the kind of project that would make a great gift for friends and family too.

@n.annlee321

Cheese boxes are cute, aren’t they? 🥰ParentingChildcareChildcare#HandmadeToys#100-yen-shop#100-yen shop DIYScrap Material Craftingwork

♬ Kekka Orai – My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Opening Theme Song – Kocchi no Kento

Here’s how to make a banana tart toy that can be used both as a trinket box and for pretend play.

All you need is a round empty cheese box and some felt.

First, use a hot glue gun to apply evenly spaced vertical lines around the side of the box lid.

Once dry, attach brown felt with double-sided tape to create the distinctive tart base.

Cover the top’s packaging surface with white felt, then prepare three long, thin strips of white felt and braid them; glue the braid along the edge.

Arrange felt bananas on top, paint the bottom part of the box brown, and you’re done.
