How to Paint Your Own Custom Tissue Box Cover

I loved how this project was so imaginative. It's the perfect way to spend an afternoon!

Where to Find Your Tissue Box 

I started with a wooden tissue box that I found online and decided to create something completely adorable! You can find one HERE!

Basecoating Your Project

I base-coated the surface with acrylic paint in the color buttermilk. You can pick whatever color works for your project. I applied two complete layers and allowed each layer to dry before applying the next one.

Choosing the Perfect Stencil

The Rosie Posie Flower Pot Stencil is a great way to create some cute flowers. You will position the stencil on the surface and start painting with your favorite colors!

Adding Some Flare to Your Custom Tissue Box

I thought it would be fun to add a little something extra to my tissue box cover, so I used an embossing tool and added La De Da Dots around the flowers in black. Then, I scattered some white dots in the open areas for good measure!
