The designs found on tissue boxes are sometimes beautiful and it is a
pity to discard these trendy printed pieces of cardboard once the
tissues have been used up. This inspired me to see what I can make from one
tissue box using only general craft supplies at hand and paper scraps, string
and ribbon.
Materials:
 |
| BushcraftZ 2014 |
- Empty tissue box printed with an interesting design
- Scrap paper and cardboard in matching colours
- Cutting mat, craft knife and ruler; scissors, paper glue, various
decorative punches, string and ribbon remnants, magnet sheet cut-offs
Preparation:
Disassemble the
tissue box. Slip the craft knife between the glued cardboard edges and gently
pry the glued surfaces apart, try not to damage the cardboard.
Look at the opened up cardboard and cut away all sections
that you may not want to use.

manageable shapes that can be used for various projects.

Magnetized bookmark

Use a long piece of cardboard and cut it into a rectangle. Select a matching
ribbon remnant approximately 10 cm long. Cut two squares for the magnet sheet
using the width of the cardboard as a guide. Place the cardboard with the
design facing downward and glue the ribbon and one magnet square to the top end
of the cardboard.

Glue the other end of the ribbon to the back of the second magnet
square and finish off by sticking with a piece of decorative paper or fabric
over the back of the magnet sheet.

Cut
a large piece of printed cardboard into a rectangle, large enough to fit the cutlery.
Also cut a 1.5 cm to 2 cm wide cardboard strip, 3 cm longer than the width of
the rectangle. Fold over 1 cm from each end of the strip and secure to the back
of the rectangle with glue or sticky tape. Insert the cutlery and decorate
further, if desired.
Notebook cover

Decorate
a notebook with paper remnants, printed cardboard from the tissue box and add
trinkets. Together with an interesting
pencil the notebook makes a delightful personalized small gift.
