It’s allergy season and tissues are a daily part of our lives right now!  I try to find patterned boxes that fit our decor but with today’s project, a sisal covered tissue box, I won’t have to worry about that anymore.

This simple DIY project just needs a few supplies and a little time.

I started at the top opening where the tissues come out.  I ran a thin line of hot glue right on the edge and stuck down my first layer of sisal string.

Then I just continued glueing around and around until I got to the edge.  At that point I made a very sharp turn back in the other direction.  I found that if I held it in that position for just a few seconds the glue held it tight.

The sides were much easier.  I just glued the string around and around.  It took a while but it was very easy.  I caught up on my favorite YouTube channels while I glued.

When I finished it was a little fuzzy with lots of tiny hot glue strings and pieces of sisal.  I just trimmed off all the extra little strings.  In the photo below you can see how the sisal goes back and forth in each corner.

And this fits into my rustic style much better than any store bought tissue box ever did!

  2. I did this on wine bottles for a center piece with a red or yellow rose with red highlights for each “vase” it was beautiful.
