Spring Blossoms: Showcasing Flowers in Upcycled Tissue Tube Holder

Are you about to throw away an empty tissue box? Wait a minute! Join me in a fun and eco-friendly craft project where we'll transform it into a beautiful display for your favorite Spring flowers. We'll be using artificial flowers, but the best part about this project is that we will reuse an item instead of throwing it out. This is a simple upcycling craft that requires just a few materials. Let's create a simple design using the tissue box and showcase those lovely Spring flowers.

Materials

• One tissue box or tissue tube (I'm using the Kleenex canister style) We will be creating a faux pot
• Artificial spring flowers
• Acrylic paint
• Paintbrush
• Optional-Wooden bunnies (Purchased at Dollar Tree)
• Mod Podge 
• Decorative tissue paper
• Hot glue
• One craft knife- This tool is for cutting tissue tubes. If using a tissue box, there is no need for a craft knife.
• Scissors
• Foam block

Cutting the tube

If you're using a tissue tube, start by taking a craft knife and removing a portion of the tube. If you want a shorter faux pot, remove the top portion of the tube with the craft knife. If you want a taller design, leave the tube as it is. If you're using a tissue box, there's no need to use a craft knife. 

Applying paint

After deciding on the size and removing the unused section, take your paint and combine pink with white. Use a paintbrush to paint the faux pot and apply two coats to give it complete coverage. Use a blow dryer to help dry the paint.

Applying paint and Mod Podge

Next, add white acrylic paint to four of the wooden bunnies. Then, cut sections of decorative tissue paper into flowers and leaves and set them aside. Use Mod Podge and a paintbrush to add the decorative pieces to each bunny.

Attaching bunnies to the faux pot

Take each bunny and add them around the faux pot using hot glue. Then, add the round foam block to the faux pot and precut artificial flowers. If needed, use floral cutters to cut the flowers to the appropriate size before adding them to the floral block.

That completes your upcycled spring floral display. It's amazing what we can create with a little upcycling! This is an adorable addition to a spring-themed tiered tray or other spring home decorations.
