[Eco] Remaking a tissue case
![[Eco] Remaking a tissue case](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n-6PvYv2TkA/sddefault.jpg)
Have you ever thought that a single tissue is bigger than you need? Here are two methods to try in those situations.
First, open the tissue box from the side, cut the stack in half, and put it back into the box.
Then open just the sides of the tissue opening so you can pull from the left and right—this lets you use the tissues at double efficiency.
Also, when the box is empty, cut the left and right ends of the box to the size of pocket tissues and combine the two pieces to make a dedicated pocket-tissue box.
Give it a try.
Sofa-shaped accessory case

Let’s use tissue boxes to make a lovely sofa-shaped organizer you can place in your room.
Prepare two tissue boxes.
Cut and fold one box to create the base of the sofa.
Use the other box to make the sofa’s backrest and armrests.
Attach your favorite fabric to the sides of the tissue boxes.
For the parts where you add stuffing, cover them by making the fabric like a pouch.
Since you’ll use double-sided fabric tape, there’s no sewing required.
Once it’s finished, try placing a plush toy on it or decorating it with accessories.
basket

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!

Watermelon tissue box

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!
A round box with a lid

A small storage box can also serve as interior decor when placed in your room.
Let’s try making a round lidded trinket box using a tissue box.
Cut the tissue box into long rectangles or circles and assemble the pieces.
Once finished, the tissue box’s pattern will become a lovely design on the box.
For this project, tissue boxes with decorative designs are recommended.
It also looks great if you attach fabric to the sides of the box.
Thinking about what to put inside and where to place it will be an enjoyable part of the process, too.
Washi tape storage box

Masking tapes—whether cute or simple—tend to pile up before you know it.
As the number grows, storage gets tricky.
Let’s make a perfectly fitting case for them using a tissue box.
Cut the tissue box in half.
Take one of the two halves and cut out a window so you can see the masking tapes inside.
Cut a clear file to the size of the window and attach it.
Combine it with the remaining half of the box to finish.
This easy DIY box will make your handmade projects even more fun.
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.
