To give you a little nudge, a little head start on your Christmas crafts, I've provided you with a few little printable house plans for these tissue box house ornaments I've made.
Here's a little house now... very simple and a tad plain really.
Here are a few that I've embellished with dimensional paint...
Use the printable tissue box template and make a few. Vary the dimensions and you get a bunch of different ones. All of these are from ONE tissue box!
And while you're at it... I mean, if you're going to be making them anyway, you may as well join in the fun of THE GREAT TISSUE BOX CHALLENGE, right?
Check it out!
Wow, these are so SO pretty! Love the red painted one. Thanks ten billion for the template, you are an angel. Because I do not measure stuff very well.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! What a brilliant idea. The embellished one is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha.
Thank you ! I might use the idea !!! And I 'll see if I join the challenge ...
ReplyDeleteWow Michele how cute are these little boxes...love em xx
ReplyDeleteHow adorable is that!! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love love love to see creative ideas that re-use items we noramlly would throw away. Your houses remind me of ones my mom had when I was a kid - they had glitter on them, some even had lights inside.

ReplyDeleteThanks Michele, these are wonderful! And who knew they were so tiny? Thanks so much for sharing on Craft schooling Sunday, I wouldn't want to do it without you! all the best!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit though, if I get my hands on an actual tissue paper box, I'm going to make a crocheted granny cover! I think I'll make houses from cereal boxes.....
Adorable! I hope you can come link them up at the Craft Catwalk!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Thanks for sharing the template.
ReplyDeleteThese are AWEsome. I love love love the way you've decorated them: so artistically. Thanks for the inspiration. I hope it's ok that I've linked your post in my houses link list on my blog? Thanks again, :o) Mel
ReplyDeleteHI-I know this post is kind of older, but I was wondering if you can tell me what you used to hold the house together. Was it glue or package tape? They are just darling and I am not crafty at all and have to bring a craft to a holiday get together and this looks perfect. If you could answer me, I would so appreciate it! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Adrienne,
ReplyDeleteI used clear packing tape to hold the houses together. That way the seams are essentially invisible and give a really nice finish on the houses.
Hope that helps!
Thank you so much Michele!! I am so excited to make these little houses!
ReplyDeletethanks for these Michele. I made one each of these into teensy glitter homes. I used an exacto knife so I could set the homes on twinkle lights.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michele! These are too cute!
