Tutorial for Napkin / Tissue Holder Box


Materials I used-


Card board
Batting
Any eye catching material
Glue
Glitter


1. Cut a square piece of cardboard the measurements being 14 1/2" by 14 1/2"


2. Draw a circle in the center with diameter of  3 1/2 " like this-
    cut 2 cardboards of this shape.
3. Cut batting according to the given shape and paste it on the cardboard using glue.


4. Cut the circle as 3'' in the material instead of 3 1/2 " so that it would be easier to glue it on the inside.


5. once the circle is cut position it on the circle of the box and  and make small cuttings along the edges like this- 










6. Fold all edges neatly using glue.


7. Take the extra piece of cardboard (you cut earlier) and paste it over the messy side of the cardboard.leave it to dry.


8. Bend the cardboard along the square edges neatly. The box takes shape now.


9. To hold the bent edges, use thread to stitch the edges, make sure you hand sew them twice.


10. Use another piece of cardboard and make a box to hold the napkins/tissues.


11.Voila!  your box is ready..... and to hide those stitches, apply some glitter on them and make some designs on the box.:)
