Here's how...
Start with 2 sheets of 12x12 cardstock (I used white). Cut the following dimensions:
2 - 9 1/2" x 5 1/8"
1- 6 9/16" square
Step 1: Score the 2 pieces of 9 1/2" at 1/2" and 4 3/4" so you have a 1/2" section and 2- 4 1/2" sections.
Step 2: Apply glue (I used double-sided tape) to the 1/2" section and glue it to the 4 1/2" section of your second piece of 9 1/2" x 5 1/8". Repeat. This will make a box.
Step 3: Score your 6 9/16" square 1" on each side.
Step 4: Using a cutting template (or tracing around the opening of the tissue box), cut an oval shape from the center of the 6 9/16" piece.
Step 5: Cut one side of the squares that were made when you scored the 9 1/16" piece. You will need the cuts to be able to fold this piece into the lid.
Step 6: Using some adhesive (I used an adhesive square), fold the cut square under to form the lid.
Step 7: Once you have made the lid, place it INSIDE the box you have created and apply adhesive so that it stays.
Your teacher will thank you!! And don't stop there...get started on Christmas or birthday presents. Who doesn't like a pretty tissue box? I even made one for my office!!
