Cute Tissue Box Covers

Some tissue boxes are plain and boring. If you want to add a little pizzazz to your tissues then this is the craft for you. These steps have instructions for a bunny, whale, unicorn, and elephant.

Items you will need:

• Cardboard
• Hot glue and hot glue gun
• Paint and paint brush
• Cotton balls or pompoms (or any other additions you would like)
• Googly eyes
• Black permanent marker
• A tissue box

Use scissors to cut the cardboard to fit 5 of the 6 sides of the tissue box. Make sure to cut a hole for the tissues to come out.

Use the hot glue to put your carboard together with the opening on the bottom.

Bunny + Whale: cut the tissue hole on the top

Unicorn + Elephant: cut the tissue hole on the side

Use a marker or pencil to sketch out your additions onto extra cardboard and cut them out. Then, use the hot glue to place them on the cardboard boxes.

Unicorn: Cut out a unicorn head and glue it on the top.

Whale: Cut out a whale tail and glue it on the back.

Bunny: Cut out two ears and glue them on the top front.

Elephant: Cut out four small rectangles and glue the edges together. When they are dry, glue one end over the tissue hole.

Use paint and paint brushes to paint the box.

Unicorn: I used a blue-green color for the body and yellow for the horn, but unicorns can be many colors including white, pink, and purple. Be creative!

Whale: I chose ocean blue but you could use gray, pink or anything you like.

Bunny: I think of light blue or pink bunnies but white and fuzzy is fun too.

Elephant: Ok elephants are gray but what about pink, now that is a cool elephant.

Use a permanent marker to add faces and any other drawn on parts such as whiskers for the bunny and ears for the elephant. If you decide to make a pig, don't forget the curly tail.

Use googly eyes for the animal's eyes.

Unicorn: I added white cotton balls or pompoms for the mane.

Whale: Not sure what else you would add to a whale but have fun with it. Maybe add a horn and make it a Narwhal.

Bunny: How about some pink glitter or pompoms for the ear insides. Oh and a large pompom for the bunny tail.

Elephant: You could use a pipe cleaner for its tail, or give it some tusks.

Whale: The rectangular tissue box should be facing up so the tissues dispense from the spout on top.

Unicorn: The square tissue box should be facing sideways so the tissues dispense as the tail.

Bunny: The square tissue box should be facing up. I wanted the bunny to have a pompom for the bunny's tail so my bunny has the tissues come out its back. Kind of weird for a bunny to have tissues coming out of its back, but I got my pompom.

Elephant: The square tissue box should be facing sideways so the tissues dispense through the trunk. I hope it doesn't sneeze but if it does it will just sneeze tissues.

Congratulations! You completed your cute tissue box cover!
