Here I will show you how to remake a boring tissue box so that it
will become a wonderful "Get well soon" present,
using Flower Embellishments
and Butterfly
Decorations.
Remake
a Tissue Box Project
Buy an ordinary tissue box and remove the cardboard opening. For
this project you will need the following:
1.) A pair of scissors
2.) Tape (transparent)
3.) Crepe paper
4.) Thick paper of different colours
Start with wrapping the tissue box with the crepe paper, just
like you would wrap a Christmas or birthday present. Crepe paper
is fairly thin, so you may have to wrap it in two sessions.
Make sure that you wrap the edges nice and careful for a pretty
result. Use tape to stick the paper together. Remember to make
sure that the opening is at the up-side, so that the taped part
will rest on the table.
Carefully cut a long cut where the opening of the tissue box
is and make smaller cut radiating outwards.
Then gently wrap the paper around the opening. To make sure that
the crepe paper doesn't get lose when you remove a tissue, secure
the paper on the inside of the box with some tape. (It's a little
bit tricky, but doesn't have to be neatly done, since no one will
look inside the tissue box :-)
Cut
an oval shaped piece of paper and write "Get well soon"
using calligraphy. Encircle the words and make a free hand border
decoration. If you don't want to write it yourself, you can always
do it digitally and then print, but your friend will most likely
appreciate the handmade result, which is a little bit more personally.
(Or at least, that's what I would like :-)
Now it's time to add the paper embellishments which I showed
you earlier how to do: Flower
Embellishments and Butterfly
Decorations. Make sure to place one each covering the tape
on the edges.
This is the before picture, not really such a pretty Get well
soon present, is it?
(But, hey! It's the thought that counts!)
And here is the lovely result! Imagine getting this from a friend
when you are down with a cold. Just add hot tea and a blanket!
