My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

When you think of familiar scrap materials, tissue boxes probably come to mind.

Since we use tissues every day, tissue boxes are something we often end up throwing away.

Here are some ideas to repurpose those tissue boxes that would otherwise be discarded.

There are practical items like small organizers and pen stands, games you can play after making them, and even projects perfect as gifts for your grandchildren.

Crafting uses your hands, which helps exercise your fingers and stimulate the brain.

It also builds creativity and can be effective for dementia prevention.

Use this article as a guide and give tissue box crafts a try!

Why not make a practical shoulder bag using an empty tissue box? After cutting the top of the box down the middle, open it up and cut it to create the flap of the bag.

Punch holes at both ends and thread a string through to complete a shoulder bag you can wear over your shoulder.

Decorating it with colored origami paper or stickers in your favorite colors will make the design even more stylish.

For older adults, this kind of hands-on crafting can help train finger dexterity and boost creativity.

Plus, the finished bag is highly practical, since it can be used as a small-item pouch.

It’s an easy bag idea even for those who aren’t confident with crafts or sewing.
