Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Small Emptied Kleenex Tissue Box
  • Paper
  • Glue Stick
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Paper Ribbon

Step1
Trim away any plastic around the oval opening of the tissue box. Slowly lift the side flaps of the box exposing the inside of the box. Tape a family picture to the inside of the box, using the oval opening as the frame for your picture.
Step2
The side flaps that are opened are the top of your desk organizer. With the flaps open make holes for pens, pencils, and a large opening for scissors.
Step3
Once the holes are in place, close the flaps down and secure with them with tape.
Step4
Begin to cover each side of the tissue box with paper; cutting out the picture frame opening and the holes on top. Use a glue stick to secure the paper to each side of the box.
Step5
Give the edges of the organizer a finished look by pasting paper ribbon along the sides. Embellish the box further; wrapping paper ribbon around the entire box and enhancing the oval frame with markers.
