I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

When you think about doing crafts with things you have at home, what materials come to mind?Plastic bottles, food trays, and toilet paper rolls are some obvious examples.And an empty tissue box is likely another candidate.In this article, we’ll share craft ideas that use tissue boxes!From fun, decorative art projects to practical creations you can keep using long after you finish.These are great for independent research projects or school recreation time!

Handmade guitar

For an indoor recreation/craft activity for seniors (home care), we tried making a 'handmade guitar' using an empty tissue box, a plastic wrap core, and rubber bands.

Handmade guitar

All you need are a tissue box, a plastic wrap core, and rubber bands of your choice.

It’s super easy to make! Punch a hole in the box, insert the wrap core, and tape it in place so it doesn’t slip out.

Wrap rubber bands in your favorite colors around the core to create a colorful guitar neck.

Then thread rubber bands across both sides of the box to make the strings.

Decorate with origami paper or stickers if you like to create your very own guitar.

Strum along to music and you’ll feel like a musician! Give it a try!

What do you think this originally was!? It’s actually a tissue box! [A small storage box made from an empty tissue box] It has a lid, so the contents stay hidden♪ #handmade #diy #handicraft #craft #seniors #howto

Why not turn unwanted items into a handy little organizer? All you need to prepare is one tissue box and two sheets each of two different kinds of origami paper.

First, peel off the film in the center.

Next, from the hole in the middle, draw lines toward the corners to mark cutting guides.

Use scissors to cut along those lines.

Apply double-sided tape to the back, and attach the pieces while shaping them.

Once you’ve formed a box that opens and closes, stick on the origami paper you prepared earlier and decorate to finish.

Imagining the shape as you work stimulates the brain, and since you’ll use your fingertips a lot, it may also help prevent cognitive decline.

In conclusion

Although the theme was narrowly focused on “tissue boxes,” I think we still came up with a pretty wide range of ideas. I hope you found something that made you think, “I want to make this!” Enjoy your crafting time!
