Turn Dollar Tree Frames Into A Cute & Customizable Tissue Box Holder

It's that time of year again. People are sniffling and sneezing all over the place. Whether you're hitting the tail end of cold season or entering into allergy season, you'll need to stock up on tissues if you haven't. The issue is that tissues come in such bright and obnoxious packaging that they stand out aggressively against your decor. Never fear — we've got the perfect DIY to cover and customize your tissue box. With tissue box covers making a retro cool comeback, get personal using Wooden Photo Frames from Dollar Tree to cover the box, while also commemorating special moments in your life.

This hack offers functionality and decor. Not only can you craft a cover to better suit your aesthetic, but you can also optimize space by framing photos you already planned to display. Once the cardboard box inside your frame is empty and ready to be swapped for a new one, you could try a clever tissue box hack that involves repurposing it for storage. This is a fool-proof cycle to declutter your home.

When it comes to crafting your own tissue box cover, all you'll need are five picture frames, four images to display, some wood glue, something to cut with, and anything you want to decorate it further. Paint, glitter, beads, or small flowers are just a few examples of items that can add to your cover's aesthetic. You'll begin with a frame that is to be the top. Remove the backing and cut a slit for the tissues into the paper or cardboard that comes inside. Once cut, glue the paper in place so that it stays in the frame covering the actual tissue box beneath. 

Next, add your preferred paint or decor to the wooden frames. Remove the glass before any painting to keep it clean. While that dries, choose an order for your photos, then add them to their frames. Line up and center your frames with the top one to form a cube and glue them together.

Once your cover dries together, simply slide it over your tissue box and feed the tissues through the slit. If it's a tight squeeze, you may want to snap the stands off the backs of each frame. This is one great way to upgrade your tissue storage.
