DIY A Chic Tissue Holder With These Popular Dollar Tree Finds

It's good to have tissues in your living space, and at least within arm's reach in case of colds and allergies, or the occasional grooming needs. Besides the utility benefits, these paper hankies can also offer great aesthetic value thanks to the casing you put them in. But the branded cardboard boxes are boring and might even clash with your room's decor, while store bought tissue box holders are usually either too generic or too pricey. So why not try a DIY chic tissue holder like the one made by TikToker @sara.and.ramal? It's one of the creative ways to elevate boring tissue boxes to match your home aesthetic. All you need to make one is glue, one $1.25 Dollar Tree Roman Urn Clear Glass Candleholder, and a fluted black or white Candle Holder that goes for the same price.

With this thrifted tissue holder idea, you're not forcing cheap materials to pretend to be something else. Once put together, the items look like they were just made to hold tissues. It'll look great on not just the bathroom vanity counter, but also the end table in your living room, guest bedroom, night stand or kitchen countertop. And unlike fabric tissue box covers, wooden boxes, or baskets that are affected by humidity and become magnets for dust, hair, lint, and product, this glass version will be super easy to clean and maintain. Just wash it with a cloth and soapy water as often as you need to.

The first step to creating your decorative tissue dispenser is to wipe away any dirt residue that may be on the bottom of the clear glass to ensure proper adherence when you apply glue. Do the same for the top of the fluted candlestand. After that, heat up your glue gun, and run a bead of glue on the bottom surface of the glass. You don't need a huge amount — just enough to create full contact with the base. Now place this Roman Urn clear glass directly on top of the fluted candle holder. Make sure you center the glass properly before the glue sets so your tissue holder stands symmetrical. Once attached, leave it alone for a few minutes so the glue can cool and firm up. And that's it.

All you need to do now is take a refill of tissues, carefully remove them from their original box without disarranging them, and place the bunch inside the glass holder. Pull up the top most piece of tissue to start the dispensing. Because the glass dispenser is heavy, it won't lift up when you grab a tissue, which is a common pet peeve with most lightweight tissue holders.

If you don't want to have to look at your crumpled hankies in the transparent glass, you can neatly wrap the glass's exterior with frosted contact paper, window film, or etched-look vinyl in matte white for a soft, opaque finish. You can also reuse some old twine or a cute ribbons round the fluted stand to add some chic to its minimal aesthetics.
