He Starts By Cutting The Corners Of An Empty Tissue Box – In The End, I LOVE Its New Purpose

Most of us probably throw away empty tissue boxes because they no longer seem to serve any purpose. It may be time to rethink that viewpoint by trying out one of these fun tissue box projects! So jump on the upcycling bandwagon and rescue that precious cardboard from the trash bin.

Charming Washcloth Basket

It’s hard to imagine that this pretty washcloth holder was actually made with a used Kleenex box! The addition of a canvas liner and jute twine complete the final look. This amazing transformation certainly gives homage to the world of “upcycling.” Find out how to make this cool washcloth storage box from Southern Flair Crafts.

Office Supply Tray

There’s no need to buy office supply storage trays when you can create one yourself with empty tissue boxes! Whether you need one for your cubicle at work or a home office, this tray is great for holding everything from big binder clips to small paper clips. You can customize the size of the dividers so that it can hold anything your heart desires. Head on over to Weak Nights for a tutorial on how to make this cool cubicle craft.

Easy Bag Dispenser

If you’re in the market for a simple plastic bag dispenser, look no further than an old tissue box! Instead of dispensing tissue, you can make your new box dispense all the stray plastic bags you have lying around the house. Grow Creative even makes multiple dispensers for the upstairs and downstairs rooms in her home!

Festive Mini Pinata
Taking a swing at a pinata and watching all the goodies inside fall to the ground is the best thing about these fun party props! But making pinatas from scratch is a lot of work, and buying pinatas is no fun for your wallet. However, an inexpensive and easy solution can be found in an empty Kleenex box! It has plenty of space that’s just waiting to be filled with goodies, plus it’s a cinch to decorate the outside with typical pinata flair. Visit Studio DIY for all the details on this festive project.

Awesome Money Dispenser
Money may not grow on trees, but apparently it can be plucked out of a Kleenex box! You could give this brilliant money dispenser to someone as a gift, but you might find that it’s too much fun to part with. 365 Days Of Pinterest can show you how to make those dollar bills keep popping up from the seemingly endless depths of a tissue box.

Trash Receptacle
This Siamese twin Kleenex box setup is quite clever! The full box stores all the good tissue, and the empty one becomes a mini trash can that conveniently holds all the used stuff. You can use twine or even duct tape to keep the two boxes conjoined at the hip. This useful idea is courtesy of Thrifty Fun.

Faux Flower Vase
This fun tissue box doubles as a cute flower vase that can be displayed on your nightstand. Even the tissue itself is used to make faux carnation flowers! A tall and cylindrical Kleenex box is needed to make the vase. Other than that, all you need is some colorful markers to make this project. Find out more from Mainly Homemade’s blog.

DIY Barbie Couch

Kleenex Safe
Keep your Kleenex and valuables safe from intruders! They may steal a tissue to blow their nose, but they won’t find your secret “drawer” at the bottom of this tissue box. Remember not to use too many tissues yourself, or your valuables will soon be revealed!
