Tissue Boxes
Everyone has those horrible boxes of the much-needed tissues hanging around the house. Well, I couldn’t take looking at them any longer. With all of the vintage cool stuff I have, I came up with a great solution: cover them up, and make them something to smile about.
I decoupage the vintage or contemporary images on a wooden tissue box cover, and trim it in copper. Each one is handmade by me, signed and dated.
These boxes fit the standard square tissues that you get in the market. These make great gifts: particularly if you go with the custom memory-box version, and supply images that are special to the recipient (their pet, kids, hobby, or garden perhaps?).
