Tissue Box Photo Collage, Great Handmade Present For Sick Friend or Gag Gift for Hypochondriac

A great arts and crafts project that truly shows a friend or loved one you are thinking of them is the Tissue Box photo collage. This is a perfect, lighthearted handmade present for someone with the flu, or better yet, a gag gift for hypochondriacs! And it's simple to make. Any old tissue box (full of tissues, of course!) will do, but the refillable porcelain or plastic ones tend to be more sturdy and look the most attractive. They also typically last longer than the boxes made of cardboard and can withstand any accidental sprites' of water from nearby faucets or runaway sneezes (maybe gross, but am I wrong?!) So here are the basic steps to constructing your handmade present for someone with the flu or gag gift for hypochondriacs. I will leave them vague so as to open the doors to personalization through your own imagination.

1. Purchase one of those porcelain or plastic refillable tissue boxes from your local pharmacy, or all purpose stores like Target, Wal-Mart, etc. You may even be able to find one real cheap at a Dollar Store close to home. Select one with a nice color and/or texture as some of this will be visible on the completed project.

2. Set aside or buy some heavy duty glue, whichever brand you prefer. Depending on your budget and your expected lifespan of the tissue box photo collage present or gag gift, you may want to seek out special glue or double sided adhesive tape that is acid free. This option works well when using photographs that you desire to keep in good condition over time.
