14. Modern Wooden Tissue Box Cover
Elevate an everyday household necessity into a piece of minimalist sculptural decor with a seamless wooden tissue box cover.
- How to Make It: Cut five pieces of thin hardwood to form a five-sided box that slips directly over a standard tissue box. Cut an elegant oval or pill-shaped dispensing slot in the top panel using a scroll saw or router. Join the sides with clean miter joints and sand all exterior corners until buttery smooth.
- Tips: Chamfer the bottom inside edges slightly so the cover lifts off and on smoothly without catching on cardboard boxes.
- Variations: Engrave a subtle geometric line pattern or minimalist botanical motif onto the top face using a wood-burning tool or laser engraver.
