Take empty tissue box and make 4 cuts as shown in the picture.
Fold flaps out and peel off the plastic.
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.
Put glue on each flap, one at a time...
... fold in and press down firmly for about 30 seconds, while the glue dries. Do this to all 4 flaps.
And your box is done!! Yes it really is that simple.
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).
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!
Ready to write on...
All done!!
