This was a quick make-over of a
Kleenex box that had autumnal images on it and just didn't look good now that it's
Advent. So I found the
Christmas cards from last year and said "hmm what can I do with these rather than THROW THEM OUT AND HAVE THEM END UP IN
LANDFILL?" So I cut out some of the images to fit the sides of the kleenex tissue box and glued them down with some
Elmer's glue that needed using before it dried out. Then, since I'd snapped up some shiny tape from the
Dollar Store, I used that to trim the rough edges of the box. And eh, voila! A decorated tissues box from ole stuff. All it took was used cards, glue, scissors and some tape. If only 15 minutes like this every day could help with re-use, reduce and recycle of everything else......
