Wild Card Tissue Box Holders

Fashion AND function! What a fun way to dress up those tissues!

Tissue Box Holders by Amy Voorthuis



Hi BoBunny Fans! It's Amy here today, to share with you, my wild card photo tutorial.

I've been dealing with a huge cold the last three weeks. I thought why not make my Tissues a bit nicer to look at since I've been using them 24/7?!

I really love how masculine the Wild Card collection is! Now I will show you how to make these holders to keep your tissues in.



First you start with having all your tools together, two pair scissors, bone folder {or score pal}, ruler, sticky tape, some other kind of glue you prefer, a pencil & a eraser.



Then you trace the outside of the box with your pencil, the size of the box is for a normal pack of tissues or Kleenex! The biggest rectangle is 2,15 inch by 4,25 inch & the ones next to it are 0,95 inch by 4,25 inch the rest of the sizes are 0,95 inch by 2,15 inch.



Now it's time to fold the pencil stripes with your score pal or bone folder and decide which side of the paper you want to use. For me it doesn't really matter because I will use papers from the Wild Card collection.



Use some sticky tape on your fold parts and you can make a box now, you see I used just two pieces of sticky tape the rest I will glue down with my glue roller.



There is your box



You also need to make one more piece that you can cut up if you want to use patterned paper like me.

So you can trace that with a pencil too, I used two different patterned papers for both large pieces, shown in the picture below.






The backside of my tissue boxes, you can alter them anyway you'd like with any kind of BoBunny papers that makes your heart happy.



I hope you all like my tutorial and you will give it a try on making these. They are super easy and a lot of fun. If you want to know more on how to make these you can visit my blog and ask me or just ask me here on the BoBunny blog I will answer asap.
