With the cartridges I have purchased to go along with the Cricut machine that Leon bought me about a year ago I know I need to use them for other things... my pea size brain got to thinking and I came up with this idea.
From time to time I will see tissue box covers for the designer size boxes. Last time I was in the thrift store there were two of them. Purchased them - spray painted them white.
After doing some thinking decided what I wanted to cut out and put on each of them...oh yes, forget to mention that one would be for Millie and one for Max (grandchildren).
So this is what I created...
These pictures don't show the colors as well as I would have liked...but used pink, brown and lime green for Miss Millie's box.
For Max went with basic colors of red, white and blue...with some yellow and black thrown in for added measure. Something different in their rooms - plus fun for me. Leon teases me about playing paper dolls - so guess I am still a kid at heart ~ it is fun to dress the paper dolls. I have used these dolls a lot in the scrap booking pages.
Enjoy this Labor day weekend.

What a clever idea, they look terrific. How did you fix the shapes down? And have you varnished over the top of them or something like that to stop them being peeled off?
The kids will love them ,what a cute idea .
Your talents amaze me, Amelia. The kids will love them and beg for more. Be blessed, and have a great weekend!
I don't know anyone that has that Cricut machine. Nice to see it actually works. Great idea to decorate the tissue boxes to personalize them.
Looks great! The kids are going to love them.
