Yesterday was a BIG snow day here in Michigan.
I spent the day hibernating and trying to keep warm.
I had lots to do, but was avoiding doing it.
Have you ever done that?
The list was long.
I found lots to do except what needed to be done.
It was just one of those days.
I think we all have them.
Here's one of my projects which I completed
(instead of doing what I should have been doing).
Notice the tissue box on my laundry counter?
O.K. it's just an ordinary tissue box,
but since I redecorated the laundry room
HERE it has been bugging me to have it sit on the counter.
I know that a lot of you are thinking to yourself
"She's a little nuts and way to picky!"
I admit it's silly, but it bugged me.
So instead of tackling my "TO DO LIST",
I decided to do something fun.
A tissue box makeover.
I hunted through my scrapbooking paper and left over wallpaper.
I had purchased a roll of wallpaper
for my computer cabinet makeover HERE.
This would be perfect paired with some leopard print paper.
Ready to see?
I feel so much better.
Silly I know...
I added a pretty ribbon that I picked up on clearance after Christmas. The button is from Wal-Mart.
I love these buttons.
Whenever I'm at Wal-Mart, I take a trip to the sewing department and pick up a few of these buttons.
I have used them for so many projects.
They are about $1.20!
I just hot glued the ribbon and the button on.
Here's How I made the cover....
*I made the box out of foam core board.
Measure the actual Kleenex box.
Cut each side about 1/2' larger.
Tape all four sides together.
Cut a piece for the top.
Cut a rectangular section out of the top piece.
Cover the top section with decorative paper.
Cover the box with the wallpaper or decorative paper.
Glue the top to the box.
It's that Easy!
This would look great in a bathroom.
I may not have gotten to my "TO DO LIST"
but I sure do have a nice looking tissue box.
Some days you just gotta have fun!
