Step 1
Take empty tissue box and make 4 cuts as shown in the picture.
Step 2
Fold flaps out and peel off the plastic.
Step 3
Trim flaps so they have a flat edge.
*Only cut off what you NEED to as the larger the flap the stronger your box will be.
Step 4
Put glue on each flap, one at a time...
Step 5
... fold in and press down firmly for about 30 seconds, while the glue dries.
Do this to all 4 flaps.
Step 6
And your box is done!!
Yes it really is that simple.
Step 7
Optional steps:
If your box has a logo that you don't want to see you can cover this with almost anything. I used chalkboard stickers for these boxes as I wanted to write on them but also wanted to be able to change their contents as I needed to. You could also use ribbon, bows, anything! I used sparkly foam stickers on the ones in my daughters room and she loves them! (picture at the top).
Step 8
These are the chalkboard stickers I used, which I picked up from a local craft store, they had so many different ones to choose from!
Step 9
Ready to write on...
Step 10
All done!!
