[For Adults] Transform Your Life with Tissue Box Crafts! A Collection of Easy Ideas

storage box

Even items that topple when stood up will sit neatly with a simple divider.

In the kitchen, seasonings, preserved foods, packet noodles, and cup soups start out neatly arranged but quickly end up in piles if you let your guard down.

So here’s a storage box idea using tissue boxes.

You can adjust the depth by placing the tissue box upright or on its side depending on the size of what you want to organize—also GOOD.

It’s nice that you can easily separate boxes by type—this one for stick-shaped items, this one for small packets.

Tissue boxes you might have thrown away can be repurposed into lots of storage containers—why not make a bunch and become an organizing pro?

Putting sandwiches in a hand-woven basket and heading out—it’s the kind of scene you might find in Anne of Green Gables, isn’t it? Baskets still feel a bit unfamiliar to many in Japan, but why not try making one out of tissue boxes? A single box is too small, so let’s combine four tissue boxes.

Put the four together to make one large box, and use the leftover paper to add a handle—that’s the basic idea.

Then decorate it however you like with lace or fabric scraps.

It could be great for a summer vacation project, too!

It’s handy to have a small container for little items like snacks or stamps, isn’t it? The ones sold at variety stores are nice, but you can make one with things you have at home.

Prepare an empty tissue box.

Take the box apart and cut it so you get a rectangle.

Fold it to create eight equal sections, and you’ll end up with an octagonal piece.

Cut the lid into an octagon as well, add some padding, and cover it with fabric.

Using double-sided fabric tape makes it easy.

Attach fabric to the sides of the box body, and you’re done.

Try changing the fabric pattern to make the box cute or give it a chic look—have fun customizing it!

Watermelon tissue box

[How to Make] Watermelon Tissue Box — Modify a store-bought tissue box to create it!

Let’s make a watermelon-shaped tissue box that’s perfect for summer.

First, take the tissues out of the tissue box.

Turn the box on its side, cut along the side, and split it into two pieces.

Fold one piece down the middle, snip a slit, and bend it to a 90-degree angle.

On the other piece, make a slit as well and attach it to the folded piece.

Put the tissues back in and glue construction paper to the sides.

Create an opening for pulling out the tissues, and finish by applying fabric or paper so it looks like a watermelon.

The rounded, sliced-watermelon-style tissue box is super cute!

Star-shaped shelf

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.
