TISSUE BOX by Kat Fullman

Hello to all,
Kat here AKA Kats craft creations
with my second project of the month, I would like to show you a tissue box today, this project is a nice thing to give as a little gift if someone is under the weather to cheer them up.

You can either buy a tissue box, take it apart & make a template

(by drawing around it & cut it 2mm larger on all sides

{leave off the bottom}

so it will slip over the top of another tissue box)

you can then keep it & always have a template ready to use,

or you can paint directly onto a tissue box

with acrylic paint & go from there.

I used a template.

Here's what I used for mine,

from my stash I used,

2 A4 sheets of brown card (for the tissue box base)

stuck together with wet glue,

3 A4 sheets of white card

(cut 4 pieces for the 4 sides,

then cut them into stamp able sized pieces as shown above,

also cut a piece of white card for the top of the tissue box

(to cut the hole out lay the base upside down onto the white card

& drew the oval through the hole & cut out with a craft knife)

TIP if you number the pieces in a top corner

on the back you will know which way round they go

because it's easy to stamp one upside down

(speaking from experience lol)

I used the Artistic Stamper backgrounds as pictured above &

Birds of a Feather , Free as a Bird & Insects & Butterflies stamp sets

All the images are stamped with Coffee archival ink

Next I blended Distress Inks Bundled Sage & Brushed Corduroy

on alternate pieces, & then edged all the pieces with Walnut Stain,

(So sorry the picture was deleted by accident)

Next I stuck the pieces onto copy paper in the right order

to get them back to 4 solid pieces,

(I edged them with the Walnut Stain so I didn't have any white edges)

Then I glued them to the base as pictured below,

On some left over scraps of white card

I stamped some Butterflies & Dragonflies,

coloured with Bundled Sage,

then embossed them with a clear powder

& attached them with silicone glue to the tissue box.

Here's a couple of close ups,

So once you have your template its an easy project to complete.

with limited stash.

Hope you like it!

I would love to read your comments

thank you Jennie & Hels again, for letting me guest design this month

I am having a ball.

I will leave you with one last picture

(I took it so I may as well use it)LOL

Thanks again,

Have a crafty day!
