I’ve always loved filling my home with vintage-inspired treasures. Since we’re constantly dreaming up fun and creative projects here at The Shabby Tree, I thought it would be lovely to make a tissue box that feels beautifully vintage and full of character.
You’ll find the list of supplies that I’ll be using for this diy down below.
1. One tissue box
2. Box cutter or x-acto knife
3. Wood embellishments from Amazon
4. Waverly black chalk paint
5. Folk Art treasure gold paint
6. Paint brush
7. Hot glue
The first step is to cut your tissue box. You’ll cut along three sides to create an attached lid that can open and close.
After cutting the lid, you’ll then cut out the opening on the top of the box.
You may need to secure the sides of the lid with a little hot glue.
The next step is to apply paint to the tissue box.

Very cute, elegant actually.
I like this idea!
Looks amazing! Love this! ❤️
Wow!! What a great makeover!! It’s beautiful!!! I always have to cover my Kleenex with boxes – the boxes they come in are not pretty at all. 😂❤️🩷🌲
Barb, if you didn’t want to use the wooden forms from Amazon, you could also use hot glue to make your own design. Then paint it. I did that on Spooky Books with my grandchildren last Halloween. They looked so cool.
Who knew a paper tissue box could be so pretty !!!!, love it Barb….see you for friday night hangout 😊

I am not a fan of gold at all, but like the concept of this craft, and I could choose any color to use. Neat way to use a tissue box!
