Halloween Tissue Box

September 24, 2012 by Chris

I guest posted over at Eighteen 25 a little while ago, and I thought I’d share with my readers (Holla!) what’s going on with the ol’ Halloweening. While I didn’t really do much last year, I did make this. It seems those Eighteen25 girls keep my Halloween butt in gear, eh? Soooo….I got a bit of a start on something this year.

I shopped the house and realized that I bought this tissue box at Hobby Lobby 11 months ago. I know this because it was with the receipt. In the bag. Oops! It was only a couple of dollars, and I knew I wanted to make it something pretty!

I spray painted it black and used my Silhouette cutter to cut out a couple of simple shapes for the sides. While I love crafting, I love simplicity. Anything too busy gives me hives, so it was as nice balance.

For a little extra pizzazz, I Mod Podge’d some glittered craft paper to the top. I’m afraid to think how long I’ve had this stuff! Luckily, no receipt to remind me.

A little ribbon bow added some dimension to it, and it was done! It was such a quick and easy project, I was nervous that I hadn’t done enough.

With some added tissue, I stepped back and realized it was juuuuust right. A little creepy/spooky on one side…

and cutesy/festive on the other!

I love being able to make something so inexpensive yet useful! So…next time you craft, try to think out of the box. Get it? Tissue box? Craft humor. Just doesn’t get old.

    Super Cute, I never think to pick something up like that on clearance to use later. I need some shopping tips. I go through those same aisles in hobby lobby and never think that way!!! I will be channeling your creativity next time.

    Cute idea! I never can think “what if” until I see something like this, and by then it’s too late!!

    PS. Congrats on the GR magazine gig! I received my issue today and was excited to see you as a regular contributor. Looking forward to future articles!

    This is adorable! I really think we need more cute tissue boxes. We go through so many and they’re all over the house. Why not make them pretty?

    Wow, that’s super cute (and simple which I love).
