Upcycling: Tissue Box

Craft stores have blank wood tissue box covers for around six bucks, so I picked one up for my classroom.

Using 2 large pieces of patterned scrapbook paper, I covered the box.  I glued on the paper, used modge podge and then packing tape for the top part.  I used the 12x12 paper, but 8.5x11 inch will work as well.

Here's our end result:

I think it's a fun addition to our classroom!  

I've also learned during several cold seasons to have a back up box underneath!
