I like to decorate my whole house for Halloween. I even want the tissue boxes to be Halloweeny. The Spooky Night Designer Series Paper with witch hats on it seemed perfect for a cute and festive, yet spooky tissue box cover. And it’s so easy, you just won’t believe it. It’s almost like wrapping a gift. This is one of the vertical cube-like tissue boxes (about 4-1/2″ on each side and 5″ tall) but you can certainly apply the same method to the long, horizontal boxes. 

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 12″ x 4-1/2″
• DSP cut to 6-1/2″ x 4-1/2″
• DSP cut to 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ for the top

Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:

• Selected three sized of oval dies, the smallest of which was almost as big at the hole in the top of the box
• Pumpkin Pie card stock (CS) cut with the middle sized die, then the center cut out with the smallest die
• Basic Black CS cut with the largest die, then the center cut out with the smallest die
• cut a hole in the center of the 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of DSP with the smallest of the three dies

Assembled the cover:

• Be sure not to make the cover too tight, or it will be too difficult to remove it and put it on a new box
• the two 4-1/2″ strips of DSP wrapped around the box and glued together at both ends – be careful not to glue the DSP to the box itself, unless you want it to be permanent, instead of a removable box cover
• the 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of DSP centered on top of the box and folded down the sides, then burnished the creases with a bone folder
• cut one crease line at each corner with Paper Snips, then put it back on top of the box with the first DSP pieces wrapped around the sides of the box – be sure the sides pieces go all the way down to the bottom of the box

top piece of tissue box cover, fold dotted lines and cut solid lines

• glue the folded over bits of DSP to the sides, tucking the corner pieces under the adjacent side.
• adhered ribbon with Tear & Tape, being sure to cover the seam where the two pieces of DSP meet.
• Pumpkin Pie CS oval glued onto the Basic Black CS oval, lining up the center holes
• Basic Black CS oval glued onto the top of the DSP box cover, lining up the center holes
