-
Get two tampon boxes. Take the first box and open it up at one side.
-
Cut off the top flaps. Repeat this with the second box but cut off the bottom flaps.
-
Take the box that has been cut at the bottom. Draw a line, slightly wider than a tampon, along the top (uncut) edge of the box.
-
Cut this line with a stanley knife.
-
Cut down either side underneath this line.
-
Cut out two flaps from the previously cut out box. Glue the backs off these flaps.
-
Fix them on to the inside of the box and on to the main flap.
-
Take the other box and draw a line, about 1" wide, around the entire circumference.
-
Snip triangles at each of the corners to the height of the line. Score along the line with a stanley knife.
-
Glue each of the flaps above the line on the outside.
-
Place this box inside the first box and allow the glue to dry and secure in place with a strip of tape.
-
Choose some kind of material to decorate the box with. You could use wrapping paper, magazines, fabric or even paint it. I choose to use black card. Wrap the box in your chosen material. It may be a good idea to cover the box with decoupage gloss if you are planning on keeping it anywhere that it could get wet.
-
To make my box more interesting, I made a pink skull and crossbones out of foam and glued it to the front of my box.

I would like to think that there is something more important in your life than disguising or decorating tampon dispensers.
Never mind - 10 points just for doing something!

little rain cloud- actually, insteads are these diaphragm like cups that go up inside & hold everything - very useful if you want to have sex when yer on the rag.
