How to Make a Wall Coupon Holder

Coupons can help you save money and find deals on things you need. Cutting and organizing coupons can be a hassle, but luckily, simple solutions exist. One solution: Make a wall coupon holder, which is an easy, creative way to organize your household.

Things You'll Need

• a standard rectangular Kleenex box
• scissors or a serrated knife
• acrylic latex paints (colors based on your personal choosing)
• paint brushes
• shellac spray sealant
• mounting tape

Instructions

1. Cut one of the smaller sides of the tissue box that runs the length of the tissue box. Use a serrated knife or scissors. This will serve as the opening of the wall coupon holder.

2. Using acrylic latex paint and paint the tissue box. You can start by painting on a base color, allowing about an hour to dry, and then paint a smaller design on top. Allow all paint to dry for one or two hours.

3. Spray a coat of shellac sealant to preserve the paint. Allow the coat to dry, than spray on one more coat. Two coats should be enough to protect the paint design of the tissue box, and it will give it a shiny look.

4. Take three small tabs of mounting tape and place them on the two top corners of the tissue box on the side with the mouth of the tissue box. Then place one in the center of the bottom side as well.

5. Adhere the tissue box with the opening you've cut out face up and the tissue boxes mouth pressed firmly against the wall. You now have a simple and creative wall coupon holder.
